AP Varus in the Mid Lane
In this video, TC Zwag showcases the power of AP Varus in the mid lane. By utilizing the unique item Malma and combining it with Varus’ abilities, TC Zwag is able to trap enemies in a burning circle of death. The item creates a circle underneath the enemy when Varus uses his E ability, and it burns the enemy while Varus’ ultimate ability freezes them in place. This combination of effects allows TC Zwag to deal significant damage and potentially one-shot enemies.
Strategic Item Choices
TC Zwag discusses his item choices for AP Varus. He plans to build Nashor’s Tooth as his first item for the attack speed and AP it provides. However, he also considers other options depending on the enemy team composition. For example, if the enemy team is mostly ranged champions, he may opt for a full AP build without Nashor’s Tooth. He also discusses the potential benefits of items like Riftmaker and Liandry’s Anguish, weighing their increased damage against the lack of significant AP they provide.
Challenges and Opportunities
TC Zwag acknowledges that AP Varus can be a challenging playstyle, especially in the early game. He discusses the importance of farming and avoiding unnecessary fights until he has a few items. However, he also highlights the opportunities for significant burst damage and one-shot potential once he reaches two to three items. He emphasizes the need for careful positioning and decision-making to maximize the effectiveness of AP Varus’ abilities.
