AP Varus in the Mid Lane
In this video, TC Zwag showcases the power of AP Varus in the mid lane. By running the Hail Blades, Taste of Blood, Eyeball, Ultimate Hunter, Absolute Focus, and Gathering Storm runes, TC Zwag aims to maximize Varus’ damage potential with AP items.
TC Zwag discusses the potential of Nashers Tooth as a first item, but ultimately decides to prioritize more AP before focusing on attack speed. The Malma item becomes a key component of TC Zwag’s strategy, as it allows Varus to trap enemies in a burning circle upon hitting them with his abilities.
TC Zwag weighs the pros and cons of different item choices, considering the potential of Leandrys Anguish and Riftmaker.

The Power of the Burning Circle

The burning circle not only inflicts damage, but also lowers the magic resistance of enemies caught within it, making Varus’ subsequent abilities and basic attacks even more potent. This unique mechanic allows TC Zwag to burst down squishier opponents and control the battlefield.
Building Towards Victory

The combination of AP and Magic Penetration allows TC Zwag to maximize Varus’ damage output, ensuring that his abilities and basic attacks hit hard even against tankier opponents. This strategic approach to itemization contributes to TC Zwag’s success in securing kills and carrying the game.
