Champions

Varus (May 8)

• Living Vengeance (Innate)
  • On kill or assist, Varus temporarily gains attack speed. This bonus is larger if the enemy is a champion.
• Piercing Arrow (Q)
  • Varus readies and then fires a powerful shot that gains extra range and damage the longer he spends preparing to fire.
• Blighted Quiver (W)
  • Varus' basic attacks deal bonus magic damage and apply Blight. Varus' other abilities detonate Blight, dealing magic damage based on the target's maximum health.
• Hail of Arrows (E)
  • Varus fires a hail of arrows that deal physical damage and desecrate the ground. Desecrated ground slows enemies' movement speed and reduces their healing and regeneration.
• Chain of Corruption (Ultimate)
