TFT: Tier list of the best compositions in Set 5
The Varus Reroll composition with Rôdeur (Ranger)
Varus can be interesting to use in main carry if you find it quickly and you have adequate items. For him to work, he mainly needs a solid frontline, and can play 4 Rangers to boost his DPS. It is also possible to play it with 6 Repentants (Redeemed) in place. For this composition to work, you should slow roll at level 6 to get Varus 3 stars.
The rest of the composition has the advantage of being flexible: you can easily enter 4 Mystics, 4 Knights ou 3 Battleships (Ironclad) depending on what you need. You also have the option not to roll for Varus 3 stars, and instead of replacing it with Kayle au 8 level.

Other Interesting Items
Redemption : This object is very interesting on Kindred so that it protects your backline from area damage. Last Breath (Shadow or Normal) : If you are against a lot of armor, you can take a Last Breath on Varus or Aphelios. Otherwise, you can still play Darius.
Spear of Shojin (shadow or normal) : If you have the opportunity to play Ashe, Lulu ou Lux 3 stars, these champions benefit enormously from the Shojin to cast their spell very regularly.
What to do with a Spatula?
Repentant (Redeemed) (
+ ): It is much easier to play 6 Repentants if you have a Spatula, which can go on taric ou Aphelios for example.
Battleship (Ironclad) ( + ): Against a lot of physical damage, you can play 3 Battleships much more easily with this item.
Cavalier (
+ 
): Changing your Taric to Cavalier, for example, makes it much more tanky.
As usual, the 
Force of nature is always a great option.
Positioning Tips
With this composition, you almost automatically lose the fight if your Varus dies too quickly. You must therefore protect it as much as possible, surrounding it with other units that can defend it. Try positioning it away from the Assassins if possible, and on the same side as Vel'Koz if there are any in your lobby.
You always want to have Luxury in a corner so that she throws her shield towards your backline to protect her, and rell on the same side so that she also casts her spell backwards. Yes Varus is not endangered, you can instead put Lux opposite Rell so that she throws her shield towards the frontline.
