AP Varus == Hybrid Varus

Ironically, AD Varus has more powerful useable abilities in comparison to AP Varus, as these, except for his ultimate, scale on attack damage. Building him AP trades early-game potential in for lategame dominance, being at the top of the DPS pyramid. It is to be noted that due to Varus' insane ability power scaling applying to his auto-attacks, on-hit items are a rather poor choice for him and thus are generally not build.

I've posted my build numerous times here now, so forgive me for quoting myself:

There should be some posts on this wiki page containing the full build and all, you might want to search for them. To keep it short:

(Doran's Blade / Boots-3-Pots) > Berserker's Greaves > Stinger > Pickaxe > Guinsoo's Rageblade > Nashor's Tooth > (Either get Catalyst here, or build it later) > Rabadon's Deathcap > finish with Catalyst into RoA and Runaan's Hurricane, in whatever order preferred. Against a proper team with good gap-closing utility you may generally want to build RoA first.

Varus pages are Flashlight and Phantom Archer.

Good luck :)
