    Hail of Arrows

    Chain of Corruption

    Magic

    Active: Varus unleashes a tendril of corruption in the target direction that infects the first enemy champion hit, dealing magic damage and rooting them for 2 seconds, during which they are revealed. Over the first 1.75 seconds of the root, they are also inflicted with maximum stacks of Blighted Quiver. Upon impact, the tendril roots into the ground from where the target was hit, seeking out nearby enemy champions that are in the immediate area. If a target does not leave the area within 2 seconds, they subsequently become infected as well, taking the same damage and effects. A new tendril is then spread out from the infected target that is closest to a nearby uninfected enemy champion. The infection can spread repeatedly until there are no new targets. The target does not have to be visible to be caught by the tendril.
