Introduction

Hello and welcome to Fuzzy Wuzzy ATE YOUR FAMILY!; a Volibear build guide of a different color!
I'm Gramps Tewks, and I'll be your curator as we explore the possibilities of playing with this bulky, bursty punster of a champion!



Here's Phreak's Champion Spotlight:
He highlights Volibear's skillset, playstyle and team role!

Please comment and rate in the comments section below; share your experiences playing with or against Volibear and/or put in your criticism about the guide itself.

Additionally, endless kudos to JhoiJhoi for the template, which you can find here.

Skill Discussion


  • Chosen of the Storm: Last-ditch Health Regen!
    It's a free Heal-bait, switch, and kill!
    Don't rely on it, but it'll save your life many-a-time.

  • Rolling Thunder (Q): Hear my cry!
    Rammus-style initiation and chasing... and you've seen what that guy can do.

  • Frenzy (W): Not to be confused with the Transformer.
    Frenzy is Jax's Ultimate ( Relentless Assault), but MUCH BETTER.
    This DEVASTATES people!

  • Majestic Roar (E): Wake up in the mornin', feelin' like dat Aslan..
    Great for jungling and ganking!

  • Thunder Claws (R): Not to be confused with ThunderCats.
    Save it for teamfights and massive farming!

Skill Sequence


Max Frenzy for farm and chomp! Follow up with Thundering Smash for initiation and lower Cooldown, then ice the cake with improved Sky Splitter!
As always, level Stormbringer at 6, 11, and 16.

Items

  • + philosopher's stone + : The new jungle simply does not provide enough resources for item-reliant champions!
    Two Gold per 10 items work like a charm.

  • : Gank hard and often, my friend.

  • : The most affordable tanky-jungle option!

  • : Aaaand now you and your team have Ghost!

  • : The good stuff.

  • : Very scary indeed!

Gameplay

Early-Game

The basic jungling route for Volibear is as follows:



Get your teammates to pull Blue Golem aggro for an easier jungle!
After ganking, buy philosopher's stone and Boots with your Gold.

Mid-Game

To gank and initiate fights, use Thundering Smash to close distance and throw, then pop Sky Splitter for Damage and slow! Auto-attack and nuke with Frenzy !

Once you have Aegis of the Legion, you're a MONSTER.
Push lanes, win teamfights, and continue to Farm!

Late-Game

With Shurelya's Battlesong and Spirit Visage, you're a DEMON.
Finish off the enemy team and their Nexus with your teammates!

Summary

Volibear is not very fair/
He's covered in hair/
And while in his lair/
Listens to Bon Iver//

Pre-BEAR for annihilation!
