PERMABAN. Unplayable. No, there's nothing you can do. Yes, I've tried, I'd rather face Teemo. She has true damage, burns, Kiting, AOE, Range, Damage, and tankiness. Mediocre Jungler, zero counterpicks in toplane.
Bel'Veth
You're a great early teamfighter. She wants every herald. Match made in heaven.

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.
|
Combos
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
| E | Q | AA | W |
Flash Q
| Q | F | E | AA | W |
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.
Notes
Huge thank you to the Volibear Mains discord server for finding and providing the spreadsheet of a Chinese OTP which serves as a source for much of the data on this guide.
