Volibear is a tanky DPS champion, capable of dishing out decent damage and securing kills. He is alot like Garen in the fact he has a strong early, but a weak later game. Volibear has sustain through his passive. A gap closer and singed fling, a slow, and an execution that is based off of his Hp.

Passive: The Relentless Storm- Heals volibear for 30% of his Maximum Health over 6 seconds when he drops below 30% Health. 120 second cooldown.
Very Strong passive, is essentially a Mundo ult but weaker. (And no MS).

Q: Thundering Smash- Volibear gains 45% Movement Speed while moving toward enemy champions. Lasts 4 seconds. Volibear's next attack deals an additional 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 physical damage and flings the target behind him. 12/11/10/9/8 second Cooldown. Costs 40 Mana.
Initiate, disruption, and escape move. This skill is better for chasing then running due to how the skill works, the next on hit you have will do a mini singed fling =D.

W: Frenzy - Passive: Volibear gains 8% 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 (90/140/190/240/290) (+20% of bonus Health) physical damage, increased by (1)% for each (1)% health the target is missing. Cooldown 18 Seconds. Cost 35 Mana.
Gives you Jax's passive in its passive ability. The active ability of this skill is essentially a Garen ultimate that scales off your health. Long CD but high damage, use this only on a high priority target.

E: Sky Splitter- Volibear deals (60/95/130/165/200) (+60% of ability power) magic damage to nearby enemies and slow them by 30% for 3 seconds. Cooldown 11 Seconds. Cost 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana.
This is the most underrated skill on Volibear. The slow is VERY nice and the damage is often overlooked. The fear stops enemy minions from hitting you in a fight, which is very nice.

R: Stormbringer- Volibear channels the storm, causing all basic attacks for (12) seconds to deal (75/115/155) (+30% of ability power) magic damage, which chains to 4 nearby enemies. Cost 100 Mana. Cooldown 100 / 90 / 80 seconds.
Makes your moves hit like you have a Wit's End and makes your moves ricochet off enemies dealing the damage team wide.

Play Video As serious as I can be while playing volibear O.o

• Remember you can bait with your heal always watch it.
• Never underestimate your Qs chasing power, but also make sure they do not have a slow or a stun to stop the fling
• Use your E while you are dashing at them with your Q to slow them for that last bit of distance.

• Do not get heal baited.
• Watch out if the enemy Volibear has flash he can initiate like a boss.
• when you see the paw above his head avoid him.

Warmog's Armor- More W damage makes you very beefy and helps your passive.

Trinity Force- Build this if you win your lane hard and want to carry

Spirit Visage- Build this to heal like a boss]]

Force of Nature- MS and MR is nice.

Frozen Mallet- Allows you to stick to targets and makes you do more damage.

Wit's End- Gives you good damage and tanky stats.

Aegis of the Legion- Helps your team alot and makes you tankier

Randuin's Omen- Good tanky stats, lets you shutdown AD lanes.

Maw of Malmortius- Allows you to have good resistance vs mages AND makes you need to be focused if you get lower on hp.
You can work decently here as volibear wins lanes very well, and often that is the key to soloQ as they will often surrender or rage and cause each other to play badly. Also your a bear your good at everything.
Volibear can be used here, but he is very comp specific. He works well with teams that have an initiate or vs enemy teams who cant keep him away. He is very strong against comps dedicated to protecting one person as his W can destroy the one person.
That is all I have to say for top facts Volibear. He is an armored bear and he is very underrated (Shame on you all). He is very fun to play, and I can never take games seriously when playing him xD. As always I hoped you enjoyed the facts and I hope you enjoy your day.

SERIES UPDATE:
I plan on releasing these every day/other day until I get all of the top lane picks in the league ( about 50-60 of them) if there are any requests leave in the comments below and ill work on them. I want to make this series for others to better understand the champions of top lane. Once I am done (Or once I have a few top facts out) I will release some Facts about top lane mechanics, eventually I will probably put everything into one generic top lane guide, however until I do that I will continue to watch and update my blogs as needed. Tips and tricks I missed under my Top Facts would be helpful if you put anything I don't have in the comments I will be sure to add it. I will be forming a guide called The complete guide to Top lane or something in that nature. The intention of this series is not as a "Build guide" or a "play guide", these are more like facts you should know about the champion. These are to inspire people to think of new champion possibilities they might not have thought of or to help a new player with the champion. I do not list runes masteries or a set build ( I give a kind of recommended items) in here due to the fact I want people to think of that for themselves and try new things. This series is an attempt for the LOL community to try new things and have fun in a fun game. Thank you for reading and have a nice day :P
