Standard Rune Page

Grasp of the Undying: Gives scaling health, early lane sustain, and solid trading.

Shield Bash: Grants massive damage from our Sky Splitter shield.

Second Wind: Healing and sustain.

Revitalize: Bonus healing from Second Wind and Grasp of the Undying, bonus shielding from Sky Splitter, which translates into more damage from Shield Bash.

Legend: Tenacity: Grants Tenacity, a stat we skip by opting for Revitalize over Unflinching in our main runes.

Last Stand: Volibear has backloaded healing. Last stand allows us to survive and dish out more damage while our Frenzied Maul is on cooldown.

Against Ranged

Aftershock: Grants bonus resistances and a burst of damage after immobilizing an enemy champion. Used in ranged matchups as Grasp of the Undying is hard to proc.

Shield Bash: Grants massive damage from our Sky Splitter shield.

Second Wind: Healing and sustain. Also makes laning against ranged significantly easier, as more often than not their auto attacks will heal you.

Revitalize: Bonus healing from Second Wind and Grasp of the Undying, bonus shielding from Sky Splitter, which translates into more damage from Shield Bash.

Celerity: Grants bonus move speed, allowing us to chase and gapclose on to enemy ranged champions with Thundering Smash

Gathering Storm: Gathering Storm grants scaling adaptive force, allowing us to deal more damage and scale better.

High Damage Runes

Press the Attack: Increases damage and is incredibly easy to proc with a simple combo.

Presence of Mind: Passive lightning chain procs Presence of Mind almost constantly, giving us infinite mana in the laning phase.

Legend: Alacrity: Grants bonus attack speed, a must-have for damage builds.

Last Stand: As a tanky bruiser, Volibear spends a lot of time at low health in fights. Last Stand gives us increased damage while low on health.

Demolish: Combined with attack speed from Legend: Alacrity and The Relentless Storm, Demolish allows us to destroy turrets even faster.

Bone Plating: Bone Plating is incredibly overpowered in early trades. Taking 3 bonus hits while your three hits deal bonus damage is a no-brainer. As an added bonus, The Relentless Storm's chain lightning often breaks enemy bone plating.

Volibear's combos are very basic. Here's a few listed out as buttons and as icons. In general, you want to use Sky Splitter on a target, then stun them within the area of Sky Splitter using Thundering Smash, giving you the maximum damage.

Basic Trade Combo

Flash Q

Combo Notes:

-Your Thundering Smash (Q) is an auto attack reset.
-Your Frenzied Maul (W) is also an auto attack reset.
- Sky Splitter does %maxhp magic damage, and also gives you a shield if you stand within it's radius.
- Frenzied Maul (W) deals more damage and grants a heal against targets that have been marked by Frenzied Maul.
