All
When Volibear reaches level 6, coordinate ganks with him for tower dives. His ultimate disables turrets for 2-4 seconds, creating safe diving opportunities even against full-health enemies.
Lane Phase
When Volibear uses Q (Thundering Smash), be ready to follow up with your own damage or crowd control. His stun lasts 1 second, providing a perfect window to land your abilities on the immobilized target.
Basic Team Fight
Prioritize ganks for Volibear before 15 minutes. He's strongest in the early game and falls off later, so helping him snowball his lane will maximize his impact throughout the match.
Lane Phase
Volibear's E (Sky Splitter) has a 2-second delay before striking. When fighting together, time your crowd control to keep enemies in the area for the 40% slow and damage.
Skirmish
Place Control Wards in side lanes and jungle entrances where Volibear plans to split push during mid-game. His Q movement speed and stun excel at catching enemies in narrow passages.
MID_GAME
In late game teamfights, Volibear transitions from an engager to a peeler. Position to protect your carries together rather than expecting him to dive deep into the enemy team.
Advanced Late Game
Pay attention to enemies marked as "Wounded" by Volibear's W. He deals 50% increased damage and heals when hitting them a second time, making these targets ideal to focus together.
Skirmish
When Volibear has 5 stacks of his passive, his attacks chain lightning to nearby enemies within 450 units. In team fights, position with proper spacing to maximize his lightning damage.
Advanced Team Fight
When Volibear casts E (Sky Splitter) under himself in skirmishes, don't immediately retreat. He gains a shield when standing in it, making him stronger for the next few seconds of combat.
Basic Skirmish
During mid-game, when Volibear split pushes, prepare to contest objectives on the opposite side of the map. His strong dueling potential will either draw multiple enemies to him or secure side lane pressure.
