How to win lane as Miss Fortune against Varus · 58.07% win rate over 2,676 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is skill as his Q range and your trade damage roughly cancel out. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill while his blight stacks are still too slow to punish you. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains skill as your Double Up matches his early charged-Q poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Varus | Levels 4-5 favour Varus once three-stack blight detonations out-poke your trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is skill because his R engage is strong but single-target and body-blockable. |
| First item | Varus | First item is Varus's: attack-speed or lethality accelerates his blight poke past yours. |
| Two+ items | Varus | At two items Varus wins: R engage plus stacked blight melt and kite your immobile ult. |
Levels 1-3 are a skill poke duel: Varus's charged Q out-ranges you but his early blight stacks are slow to build, so deny them and the lane stays even.
