Intro

Volibear is a beast. His w scales off of health. His passive scales off of health. Build him as a tank, and you will still destroy people. He needs 0 offensive items to do damage. You shine early game, so end this game by thirty minutes. You can carry.

Pros / Cons

Pros
- bear
- early game dominance
- execute for the ks
- can play any position except adc
- great offense with only defensive items
- passive baits

Cons
- weak late game
- has issues initiating vs. high cc/slowing teams
Back to Top

Creeping / Jungling

I start e in lane so that I can slow my attackers if I get ganked level 1. I start e in jungle if I will get good help because you can take almost no damage with it. If I wont get help, then I take w.
Back to Top

Items

Items that give you health make you tankier and do more damage. That is all you need to know (the rest is explained in the notes).
Back to Top

Team Work

Early game, you just dominate. Once the teams start to group, you begin to see that you are indeed mortal. In team fights, flash q for there out of position carry. Unless there carry is in front or you are very far ahead, someone else should initiate.
Back to Top

Skill Sequence

q>e>r>w. Please orb walk. They are slowed, so they can't get away while you remove their health bar.

If you cannot quite get to them with q, you can e to slow them when you are close.
Back to Top

Unique Skills

Your w will not be usable unless you get three hits in a row. This is no problem. It is an execute, so you don't want to use it first anyway. q (this is your first auto) >e >auto>auto w. They will lose at least half health.
