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 Warwick

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay above 50% health

    Keep your health above 50%: below that, Blood Hunt (W) gives him speed toward you and attack speed, three times more below 25%.

  2. Finish him fast below 50% health

    When he drops below 50% health, finish him fast, with CC if you have any: Eternal Hunger (passive) then heals him with each auto, three times more below 25%.

  3. Don't count on a dash to escape

    If you have a dash, don't count on it to escape his held bite: Jaws of the Beast (Q) makes him follow all your movement, then leap behind you.

  4. Stay behind your tanky allies

    In teamfights, stay behind your tankiest allies: Infinite Duress (R) suppresses the first champion hit, and its range grows with his move speed.

  5. Cut his healing

    If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to him: his autos heal him at low health, and Infinite Duress (R) heals him for all the damage it deals.
