Talk:Varus/@comment-25532677-20151019235509

So I made a list of items that are useful for Varus


 * Deathcap - Obvious reasons, provides a big chunk of AP for your W and your Ult.


 * Archangel's Staff (?) - I'm not sure whether to get this or not. I'm not aware with how much AP varus spams abilities in order to stack a tear. But it can be a good buy on him once you get it stacked, solves any mana issues and provides a shield and chunk of AP.


 * Nashor's Tooth - Gives you attack speed and makes your W's on-hit tougher. This along with the cooldown reduction means more opportunities to ult and proc your W.


 * Luden's (?) - I can see this being a good buy on him. Makes him burstier, but the problem comes from how hard it would be to set up the Luden's proc alongside the W proc.


 * Voidstaff - Provides him with a fair amount of AP but more importantly gives him Mpen to chunk through people harder especially tanks.


 * Twin Shadows - Gives a plethora of good stats for Varus, gives him the movements speed he needs, along with spoopy ghosts to help him scout areas without vision and allows him to better kite foes trying to reach him.


 * Abyssal scepter - AP Varus has to get closer to his targets than AD caster Varus in order to get off his effective damage, thus making abyssal scepter a good item for heavy AP comps.


 * Zhonya's - Same reason as Aby Scepter except for AD comps.


 * Liandrys - Kind of a niche item, better for tankier teams when you need more defense.


 * IceBorn Gauntlet - This may be a good alternative to Zhonya's. It is better for when you need to be on the move and be kiting rather than surviving AD burst. Zhonya's is to champions like Zed or Syndra as IBG is to Garen or Trundle


 * Rylais - May be a good alternative for IBG or Twin shadows


 * Morellonomicon (?) - Can't really see Varus getting much use out of this. There are better items  to get in comparison and he can't make much use of the passive.


 * Athene's - Might be able to get more use out of it than Morello, but still kind of in the same boat; there are better items.


 * Wit's End (?) - Could be good.. I guess? But I can't see how it could be better over Nashor's
