Volibear Matchups Overview

Volibear General information

Volibear tips and tricks

Keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map in the early game. This will allow you to look for favourable trades pre-6.

Get as close to the enemy laner as possible before activating your Thundering SmashQ so it doesn’t run out before you can CC them.

Look to gain an advantage in the early game to make the mid and late game easier.
