This is a "Hybrid/Mixed build" that I was working on a LONG time ago back in like season 4 (so loooong before AP item restructuring... that might actually change some things). Probably needs updating, but the point is that if you are going to build AP-ad or AD-ap, just do a dash of the other, not a full 50/50. I believe this worked better for AP Varus more than AD, as AD Varus is actually the more item reliant in the long run i.e. you need EVERY single slot to be focused on AD and what you do as an ADC to actually pull it off and if you waste a slot trying to incorporate AP it might actually cost you the game. Just stick with Full AD, or try out an AP-ad build. Have fun.

"Current AP-ad build:

-Summoners: Ghost, Flash, Barrier

-Masteries: 21/0/9 OR 21/2/7, focusing on MS and Summoner CDR in Utility and dropping points in health regen in Defense

-Build:

--Start: Crystalline Flask + Pots

--Early: Vampire Scepter, Berzerker Greaves, Stinger, Needlessly Large

--Standards: Blade of the Ruined King, Distortion (Boot upgrade), Nashor's Tooth, Rabadon's Deathcap

--5th Item: Void Staff, DFG, Abyssal Sceptre

--6th Item: Guardian Angel, BV, Runaan's Hurricane

--Late Game switchout: Blade of the Ruined King -> Runaan's Hurricane (Team-wide annihilation), Zhonya's Hourglass (AP + Armor), Twin Shadows (Second-tier AP, CDR (if you don't have it maxed yet), Movespeed increase, active great for catching people out), Hextech Gunblade (Keep lifesteal, gain spellvamp and som"e AP, active damage scales with AP and slows), Any other item already stated above."
