Introduction

Hello everyone!
I'm PhunnyScoots, and this is my first guide on Mobafire, so CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always helpful. :)

Anywho, let's get to it.

Of course, Phreak plays everyone as a jungler, so this video might not be of help if you're not jungling...

Spells

Before you say anything, Flash is necessary. If you wish though, you may take one of these.
Teleport is great, but there are other options.






Heal
HealIs a great spell to bait out in fights and duels, but I don't recommend it.


Ghost
Ghost is a good alternative to Flash


Ignite
Good spell for greater champion killing


These work, but they're not ideal.



Exhaust

This spell works, but you don't have a problem chasing, because of Thundering Smash, and the slow from Sky Splitter, so don't take this unless you feel like you REALLY need it.

Runes

Ok, rune time.
Greater Mark of Attack Damage x9

Greater Seal of Armor x9

Greater Glyph of Magic Resist x9

Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed x3

Marks
Damage marks are very beneficial on Volibear
Mostly because you're building an AD offtank in the first place.

Seals
Glyphs
Armor and Magic Resist are very common when it comes to runes, not much to say other than it gives you a little bit more sustain early game.

Quintessences
Ok, Quints.
Attack speed is AMAZING on Volibear because it makes him completely destroy turrets because of your stacking AS buff in the form of Frenzy
Back to Top

Masteries

9|21|0 Masteries are what I use for Volibear.
In Offense, I take CDR and AS, as well as Increased damage to turrets.
In Defense, I take Health per level, Health regen, Armor and MR, reduced damage from basic attacks, Tenacity (reduces duration of CC), and Increases ARM and Mr %, as well as Summoner's Resolve and Honor Guard
Back to Top

Items

Ok, Items.
You may be saying to yourself, Zephyr? Really?.
Well Zephyr Provides evrything Volibear needs, including movement speed, attack speed, cooldown reduction, and attack damage, plus the tenacity buff. So combined with your mastery, you'll have 50% tenacity, not bad, right?

And Frozen Mallet is definately one of My favorite items in the game, Cause I mean come on, think about it. 40% SLOW ON YOUR BASIC ATTACK, HOW IS THAT NOT FREAKING AWESOME?!?!?!


Runic Bulwark Is a great source of tankiness in all aspects.

You can also get Ninja Tabi if against a heavy AD top, and you won't lose out on Tenacity, because Zephyr gives it.

Back to Top

Teamfights

Your job as Volibear is to initiate with your combo.
Said combo goes like this.

Flip them with Thundering Smash, slow them with Sky Splitter, complete the stacks of Frenzy , then use it, then activate Stormbringer.
Then do it again to another enemy.
and another one.
and another one.
and then you will kill the last one and get a pentassist.
Wait, that's not a thing...
It should be.
