Playing as Volibear
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Trundle
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Draw him out of his domain
Don't fight in Frozen Domain (W): he gains move speed, attack speed and increased healing inside. Back off to draw him out of the zone.
- Back off after his Chomp
If you deal physical damage, back off after his Chomp (Q): it steals some of your attack damage for a few seconds, and he gains it.
- Get away from his pillar fast
Get away from Pillar of Ice (E) as fast as you can: it slows nearby enemies and blocks the path while it stands.
- Back off when he steals your resists
Back off when he casts Subjugate (R) on you: he steals part of your armor and magic resist, and gains what you lose.
