Playing as Volibear

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Charge in, then stun

    Cast Thundering Smash (Q) to charge at your target: your speed doubles when heading toward a champion, and your next auto stuns them.

  2. Two Frenzied Mauls on one target

    Hit the same target twice with Frenzied Maul (W): the second hit, on the marked target, hits harder and heals you based on your missing health.

  3. Stay under your lightning

    Cast Sky Splitter (E) where you're fighting and stay in the zone: when the lightning strikes, you gain a shield, and enemies hit are slowed.

  4. Dive the tower with your ult

    To dive under a tower, cast Stormbringer (R) near it: on landing, you disable it for a few seconds, and you gain bonus health.

Playing against Wukong

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his W

    Trade after Warrior Trickster (W): it's his best escape, and it has a 22 to 18 second cooldown.

  2. Ignore the still clone

    When Warrior Trickster (W) turns him invisible, ignore the figure standing still: that's the clone, and the real Wukong just dashed off to the side.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Cyclone (R), spread out from your allies: he spins in the middle of your team and knocks every nearby enemy into the air, twice.

  4. Escape after his second Cyclone

    If you have a way to escape, wait for his second Cyclone (R) to end: the spell can be recast once, and each spin knocks nearby enemies into the air again.
