Introduction
YOU’RE READING THIS VOLIBEAR GUIDE, MY WAY. VOLIBEAR IS THE BEST JUNGLER, TOP LANER, AND SUPPORT IN THE GAME. LOOK AT THIS CRAZY BEAR! DROPPING BOMBS ON THOSE ENEMIES. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! THAT’S REAL LIGHTNING THERE! OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW HE’S NOT AS GOOD AS THE ‘DYR BUT HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO TOWER DIVE AT LEVEL 3 AND SURVIVE? HOW ELSE WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO LOCK AN ENEMY IN PLACE WHILE YOU POUND ON THEM WITH YOUR ULTIMATE? WHAT OTHER CHAMPION LETS YOU EXECUTE SOMEONE BASED ON YOUR HEALTH?
Volibear is a tanky fighter who has very strong base stats, but falls off late game. He excels in early game skirmishes.
In order to stop Volibear from soloing your entire team after getting 7 kills in laning phase, you need to know what weaknesses he has and how to exploit his cheese. In this guide, I’ll be helping you send this bear back to the Freljord.
Abilities
Passive – Chosen of the Storm
When below 30% health, Volibear gains a huge heal.
Q – Rolling Thunder
Volibear goes on all fours, making him run faster and making his next basic attack flip the enemy over his head.
W – Frenzy
Volibear gains attack speed on each auto attack. After 3 auto attacks, he gains the ability to cast Frenzy, which deals more damage the less health the enemy has.
E – Majestic Roar
Volibear roars, dealing damage to all enemies nearby and slowing champions but fearing all minions and monsters.
R – Thunder Claws
Volibear’s basic attacks start spreading lightning to all nearby enemies, dealing damage.

Your E can block most of his damage. Be careful of his execute. At level 6, your steroid is a little stronger thanhis. Build Blade of the Ruined King first.
Olaf
Your true damage works well against his healing. You can run him down with permaslows if he tries to run away. Both of you get stronger as you last longer in fights, but you do more damage. Build Black Cleaver first.

Itemization
Blade of the Ruined King
Morellonomicon
