View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Yunara ADC vs Varus ADC in patch 15.18 (25.18), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 70.8% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

Yunara dominates the meta (3rd most popular, 16.7% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Varus (5.0% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of bot lane's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Yunara's higher tier rating, Varus wins 51.4% of encounters. This suggests Varus's kit specifically counters Yunara's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Lethal Tempo + Triumph combination (53.5% win rate) plus optimal itemization Blade of The Ruined King, Runaan's Hurricane, Infinity Edge, and Berserker's Greaves boosts your chances from 48.6% to 70.8% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Yunara's superior farming (8.01 vs 6.74/min, 2nd among ADC) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 1.27 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Yunara outputs more damage (768 vs 703/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Strong individual performance: Yunara maintains better KDA (2.30, 22nd place vs 23rd for Varus), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Varus as Yunara (ADC)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Yunara versus Varus matchup as ADC, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Yunara deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Varus has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Yunara is higher farming statistics (ranked 2nd among role champions) (versus 20th for Varus), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yunara ADC versus Varus ADC matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Yunara player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Varus player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Playing Against Varus

  • If you are affected by Blight, Varus' abilities will deal extra damage to you.
  • When he gets a kill or assist, Varus temporarily gains Attack Speed and is much more dangerous.
  • You'll get bound in place if a tendril from Varus' ultimate, Chain of Corruption, reaches you. You can cause the tendril to die however by running far enough away from it.
