How to Play This Matchup

Mid-Game Showdown

Both champions spike around the same time. The player who gets their first item faster wins. Focus on CS leads and smart trades to build an advantage before the mid-game.

Mixed Resistances

Illaoi deals AD damage while Varus deals Mixed. Build resistances accordingly, don't stack the wrong type.

Range Advantage
