RP: 1350 | Release Date: December 10, 2013

Varus, the Arrow of Retribution, has received a stunning new skin called Snow Moon Varus. This skin, released on December 10, 2013, is a part of the Snowdown Showdown event in League of Legends. With its icy blue color scheme and intricate design, Snow Moon Varus is a must-have for any Varus enthusiast.

The Snow Moon Varus skin transforms the dark and brooding archer into a winter-themed warrior. His armor is adorned with frosty accents, and his bow and arrows are crafted from ice and snow. The skin features unique particle effects, including icy trails for his abilities and snowflakes that burst upon impact. The attention to detail in this skin truly brings the winter theme to life.

As Varus unleashes his devastating abilities, players will witness the beauty and power of Snow Moon Varus. His Q ability, Piercing Arrow, sends forth a frozen arrow that leaves behind a trail of frost as it travels. Upon impact, it shatters into a flurry of snowflakes. His W ability, Blighted Quiver, imbues his arrows with a chilling aura, freezing enemies with each strike. The E ability, Hail of Arrows, creates a storm of icy projectiles that rain down upon his foes. Finally, his ultimate ability, Chain of Corruption, ensnares enemies in a web of ice, rooting them in place.

Now, let's delve into the story of Varus and his place in the League of Legends universe. Varus was once a proud Ionian warrior who fought to protect his homeland from Noxian invaders. However, tragedy struck when he was corrupted by the dark magic of the Darkin, a race of ancient, malevolent beings. Varus became a vessel for their power, consumed by vengeance and driven to seek retribution against all who had wronged him.

In the game, Varus is a marksman who excels at dealing damage from a distance. His abilities allow him to poke enemies, apply crowd control, and unleash devastating bursts of damage. His passive ability, Living Vengeance, grants him bonus attack speed when he kills or assists in killing an enemy unit. This makes him a formidable force in team fights, as he can quickly stack up his attack speed and unleash a flurry of arrows.

Varus's Q ability, Piercing Arrow, is a skillshot that deals damage to all enemies in its path. The longer Varus charges the ability, the more damage it deals. This ability is perfect for poking enemies from a safe distance or finishing off low-health targets. His W ability, Blighted Quiver, empowers his basic attacks, causing them to deal bonus magic damage and apply a stacking debuff to enemies. When Varus detonates the debuff with his other abilities, it deals additional damage based on the number of stacks.

The E ability, Hail of Arrows, creates a zone of effect that slows enemies and deals damage over time. This ability is great for zoning enemies or escaping sticky situations. Finally, Varus's ultimate ability, Chain of Corruption, fires out a chain of corruption that roots the first enemy champion hit and then spreads to nearby enemies. This ability is a powerful initiation tool and can turn the tide of team fights.

Varus's story and gameplay make him a versatile and deadly champion in League of Legends. Whether you prefer to play him as a long-range poke champion or a burst damage dealer, Varus has the tools to excel in any situation. His Snow Moon Varus skin adds a touch of winter magic to his already impressive arsenal, making him a true force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
