It's a Work In Progress

Volibear heals rapidly for a few seconds when his health drops to a critical level.
This passive is so awesome. It regenerates 30% of your max health in a few seconds. You can lure people into focussing you because they think you are almost dead. I've got dozens of kills this way. Beware for people(mostly AP carries) with


speed increases when chasing enemy champions. The first enemy he attacks is thrown backwards over Volibear.
Volibear drops to all fours to hunt his enemies, gaining 15% Movement Speed for 4 seconds. This bonus increases to 45% Movement Speed while moving toward enemy champions.
Volibear's next attack during this time deals an additional 30/60/90/120/150 physical damage and flings the target behind him.
This is your gank tool! This is absolute a must before you can gank with volibear. You want to use this ability after you run out of the bushes or close to enemey champion you are ganking. Because it only last for 4 seconds, make good use of it and flip 'm over!

Volibear's repeated attacks grant him additional Attack Speed. Once Volibear has repeatedly attacked three times, he can perform a vicious bite on his target which deals increased damage based on the target's missing health.
Passive: Volibear gains 8/11/14/17/20% Attack Speed with each attack. Stacks up to 3 times.
Active: When Volibear has 3 stacks of Frenzy, he can bite an enemy to deal 80/125/170/215/260 (+  [15% of bonus Health]) physical damage, increased by 1% for each 1% health the target is missing.
Use this as a finisher when the enemy champion is at very low hp +/- 30%

Volibear lets out a powerful roar that damages and slows enemies. Minions and monsters are feared as well.
Volibear deals 60/105/150/195/240 (+0.6) magic damage to nearby enemies and slow them by 30/35/40/45/50% for 3 seconds.
Minions and monsters are feared as well.
Very powerfull ability! You want to use this when you are almost in range for

This is also extremely usefull when you are fighting in a group of enemy minions, it will fear the minions which leads to not taking damage from all the minions.

Volibear channels the power of the storm causing his attacks to blast his targets with lightning that bounces to other nearby enemies.
Volibear channels the storm, causing all basic attacks for 12 seconds to deal 75/115/155 (+0.3) magic damage, which chains to 4 nearby enemies.
First rune set
This is the rune set I always use. Best overal damage in my opinion.
Precision
Fleet Footwork
Phase Rush
Second rune set
If you want some extra damage on your
Frenzy
or extra survivability, swap the armorpen quints for health quints.

Recommended
You are jungling with the
Volibear, you need this to secure baron, dragon, blue or red buffs. You don't want your buffs to be stolen!
Ghost works better for me, I like to chase enemey champions down.
Flash doesn't do the trick. Advantage for using
Ghost over
Flash is that you can activate your
Thundering Smash later on + you got extra movement due to
Summoner's Wrath
.
Viable SS
If you want a different second summoner spell. These are the ones I recommend. Don't swap
Smite for one of these,
Smite is a must!
I sometimes pick flash it can come handy if you want to flash over walls/hedges maby to steal a buff or a quick getaway.
This is for the aggresive jungle. If your team doesn't have any exhaust pick this over an escape spell like
Ghost or
Flash.
Same as
Exhaust for the aggresive jungler. If your team lacks ignite or healing reduction get this. I do not get this spell often as
Volibear

Philosopher's Stone = The first gp5 item you will buy. Reason behind this is that you will be ganking alot. Ganks are not always succesfull there for you will be missing out farm. The gp5 items will compensate this. This items is a must and will help you get to your core items quickly.








Situational




Items to consider








The red stripes are the jungle route.
The blue stripes are the way to gank a lane
1. Start at golem (blue buff). Kill it with

2. Proceed to wolf camp
3. Wraith camp
4. Double golems at bot, use

5. To wolf camp again, they will be respawned
6. Go to wraith camp and clear it.
7. Go to lizard (red buff).

9. Gank a lane!
Warding is VERY important. Try to pick up 1 or 2 wards everytime you go back to shop.
In this video above there are some good spots to place wards.
Also try to pick up a pink ward once in a while. Very handy to remove enemy wards.
Places on the map to place wards

RED DOTS: Priority wards, very important to place wards
BLUE DOTS: Optional wards, when there are enough wards on the map. You can place them here
GREEN DOTS: Just when you have loads of extra cash and everyone on your team buys wards. Place them here as a last resort.
