Volibear Matchups Overview

Volibear General information

Volibear tips and tricks

Get as close to the lane as possible before activating your Thundering SmashQ so it doesn’t run out in time for you to CC the enemy champion.

Don’t be afraid to dive towers with your Ultimate StormbringerR. Before going in, make sure your laner is in a position to follow up.

Look for picks with your Ultimate StormbringerR and Thundering SmashQ in the mid-game. Volibear has great pick potential on enemies who are alone or out of position.
