Learn how to play with Volibear with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Once Volibear (top) hits level 6, watch for him diving under enemy towers on low-health targets — his R disables enemy turrets for several seconds (longer at higher ranks), letting you both attack safely while it's active.
Lane Phase
When Volibear lands his Q stun, immediately follow up with your own damage or crowd control — the stun only lasts 1 second, so you need to react quickly to capitalize on it.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Focus the enemy Volibear marks Wounded with his W — landing a second hit on that target deals 50% bonus damage and heals him, so keeping them in the fight maximizes his damage and sustain.
Skirmish Team Fight
Volibear's E strikes 2 seconds after cast and slows everyone hit by 40% for 2 seconds — hold your own crowd control to keep enemies inside the strike zone so it lands cleanly.
Skirmish Team Fight
Look to gank top once Volibear hits level 3 — with all three basic abilities up he can force a strong trade or all-in, and your extra crowd control turns that into a kill.
Lane Phase
When Volibear reaches 5 stacks of his passive, his next attacks chain lightning damage to the nearest enemies in a short range around the target — group fights so enemies are clustered together to maximize this bonus damage.
Team Fight
In late-game team fights, expect Volibear to shift from an all-in engager into a frontline peeler — position to protect your own carries rather than relying on him to dive the enemy backline.
