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 Shyvana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade when her Fury is low

    Take a trade when her Dragon Fury is low: she needs it to transform with Dragon's Descent (R), and her dragon form ends when the bar is empty.

  2. Leave her trail of fire

    Get out of the Molten Burst (E) trail when she's in dragon form: the fireball leaves fire there that burns every second.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when she's in dragon form: her spells hit several enemies, and Dragon's Descent (R) makes those she flies over flee.

  4. Don't give her the large monsters

    Contest large monsters: Scalemail (passive) gives her resistances with each takedown on a large monster, large minion or champion.
