Welcome to my SHRINEšBREAKERā”
Volibearš»Guide! I'm a 4 million plus Volibearmastery one trick that has been playing for fun in college since season 2. After college, I decided to rank up, but then the rework happened.Everyone was trying to learn the new
Volibear, all the sudden I got raided by Trick2g pretty early in my journey to climb. He is widely considered the Volibear šG.O.A.T. in my eyes because he was one of the first streamers and everyone learned how to play Volibear watching Trick2g.At the time he raided me was when he was addicted to the "crack build" back when Turbo Chemtank existed into
Nashor's Tooth. I tried my best to follow his instructions, which was to max E Sky Splitter first and I had a hard time breaking that habit of maxing W Frenzied Maul. After several games, I finally was able to get it right.After stream was over, he asked if I had a mic and I said to him, I can't use it because my daughter is only a few months old and that I don't want to wake her up. I am a father of 2 kids. I have a son and a daughter.
Trick2g was understanding because he has a daughter at that time. Now he's a father of 2 like me! š»Cheers to one gamer dad to another!What I learned from that build was how
Nashor's Tooth interacted with his passive: The Relentless Storm. With Trick2g's breaching knowledge, I was able to apply what I learned into a playstyle build that destroys towers. Here's my story!ā¬ļø
Doran's Ring grants mana regeneration, but also Volibear's passive will gain 1% attack speed at level 1 and once you have E Sky Splitter, he will deal so much burst damage. With Second Wind, W Frenzied Maul, and if you're running Grasp of the Undying, the healing in combination with Doran's Ring will help keep Volibear healthly in both his health and mana plus the 2 Health Potions.
I usually like to start proxing when I have Cull or Haunting Guise or Tiamat depending on which build I choose between. The God of Storm build or God of War build. Haunting Guise in addition to Doran's Ring makes it easy to proxy with Volibear's passive: The Relentless Storm and his E Sky Splitter that scale with AP. Tiamat's AoE damage makes it easy to proxy in addition to his his passive and E because they are also AoE damage.
What is the art of proxy? Proxing behind tower getting an entire wave sets you ahead in cs in a sense, you're now in the "future" catching the next wave and the next. If you manage to kill the enemy jungler in the process, will set you into a snowballing lead.
I typically like to proxy when the dragon aka drake is up because I know at least if I do get ganked, my jungler has the advantage to take the dragon or gank a lane or counter jungle camps. If I die on a wave, their next wave will take too long to crash into my tower. Spawn timers early game are very short so I'll be back to lane without missing anything.

voidgrubs and voidmites are very important to have and makes split pushing a lot easier. You don't want too many of these in the hands of the enemy because then anyone can take down towers pretty quickly making split push harder to win games with. voidgrubs are the 3 little monsters that spawn. Killing those will give you voidmites that spawn when you attack the tower with a minion wave giving you extra damage to them. There are another set of 3 [[voidgrub]s that will spawn in total of 6. Having at least 3 or more is considered good.For Season 15 I like to build either
Riftmaker or Titanic Hydra depending on which build I choose. The God of Storm(AP) or God of War(AD). The reason I build either one of these items first is because they scale with Volibear. He gains health when using R Stormbringer which means he does more damage with those two items that scale with health. This also means more damage done to towers during the time of his ultimate. In my opinion he does the most damage, tank, sustains, and clears the best with these items. Not just his ultimate that scales well with those two items, but also his other abilities also scale with them. Riftmaker I ususally like to use against sustain fighters or tanks without the ability to dash or kite. I also max W and E. E Sky Splitter does % health damage to the target in addition to Riftmaker's bonus damage and sustain. Tanks or sustain fighters do not stand a chance.I like to go
Titanic Hydra into fighters with dash or kiting or ranged champions because of the AoE damage it has when I hit the wave, will damage them. For example if I am vs a ranged top, I would build Bramble Vest into Titanic Hydra. I now have damage bouncing back to the attacker and Titanic Hydra's AoE damage hitting them from a distance including Volibear's lightning chain passive: The Relentless Storm. I also max W and Q. When maxing Q, you increase Volibear's movement speed, which makes it easier to chase kiting targets down in addition to Ghost. W and Q scale with AD. The combo with Titanic Hydra's active makes this a very quick deadly combo.The
voidmites are a lot like a mini verison of Elixir of Sorcery applying damage to towers. This is why it is very deadly to have on Volibear. It basically doubles his amount of damage to towers with each basic attack.
The SHRINE BUG AKA SHELLY THE rift herald is very important to snatch because with a lead, you'll be able to set yourself up for a BEAR SPECIAL every game by opening up a lane. You should be able to knock at least 1 to 2 towers down solo.
In situations where the enemy has more voidgrubs than you do, you might want to use this rift herald with your team and plow an entire lane down to make the window easier for you to end the game since split push is harder against an enemy that has more voidmites than you.
This season you can now ride the rift herald and drive it into towers. I like to ult the tower after I crash into it only if there is a target there defending it just so I can keep it alive using Demolish to delete the tower before the disable wears off. Then drive it again into the 2nd tower. If there is no target on the first tower, save your R Stormbringer for the 2nd tower.
Another strategy is if you have all 6 or most of the voidgrubs, you could flank a team fight and plow an entire lane up to the inhibitor before getting the rift herald and use it on the next objective team fight. Drive it into the inhibitor, then drive it into the nexus shrines, and perform the BEAR SPECIAL Stormbringer and try to end the game. Otherwise your team will be able to get an easy dragon or baron nashor.

The baron nashor buff empowers the wave and gives bonus AD and AP. With the Hullbreaker buff on the cannon or jacked supers, is basically applying a double buff, making it harder for the enemies to stop that wave. Volibear is at his strongest on a double buffed wave with multiple cannons or jacked supers marching their way to the nexus shrines.
AP items are extremely deadly with the baron nashor buff. Items such as Riftmaker, Nashor's Tooth, Stormsurge, but also AD items like Titanic Hydra that instantly deletes waves with the shockwave active. Whenver you get your hands on the baron nashor, do not waste any time whether you'reTop or jungle. Push a lane and try to end the game solo or with your team.

Setting yourself up for a BEAR SPECIAL is all about patience and timing. Wait to see all 5 enemies on the map. The best time to go is when they are all busy at an objective whether it is drake or baron nashor. You don't need to be there when the inhibitor is exposed or taken already.
Your job is to distract the enemy team into making a decision to stop you or fight for that objective. If they don't stop you, Volibear will just end the game. If they do stop you, your team will likely win the objective. Either way you are doing your job. A lot of times the enemy will lose because some went back while some stayed for the objective leaving them vulnerable.
If its a baron nashor buff, those who went back will suffer the double buff of baron nashor and Hullbreaker. Volibear may not be able to end the game, but those shrines are falling one way or another!

I created the SHRINEšBREAKER name which was based on Volibear's quote "Your shrines will fall." and Volibear's story where after he fought with his brother Ornn, he made a vow to tear down all civilization and bring back the old ways to theFreljord.
Iceborn Gauntlet symbolizes who and what the Volibear is as he is from the lands just north of the Freljord. Volibear is all about true ice and lightning. This is the birth of the SHRINE BREAKER playstyle, which earned the name "STORM BREAKER" as in Volibear's lore he made a vow to tear down all civilization and false idols they call shrines, marching his way towards the ARAM bridge growing in size and power!
Iceborn Gauntlet most important stats are Spellblade with a slow ice zone that provides crowd control along with Q Thundering Smash, E Sky Splitter, and R Stormbringer limiting the enemy's ability to kite him.
Riftmaker is the most powerful for the SHRINE BREAKER playstyle, which earned the name "RIFT BREAKER" as at the beginning of the Volibear's rework, they hinted a possible canon story that is no longer canon anymore, but at the time, they hinted that he becomes corrupted or formed a duality form fusing his power with theVoid AKA the Watchers frozen in time at the ARAM bridge turning him into his form known as the Thousand-pierced Bear. Even the color of the swords in his back and the lightning was the same color as the Void. It made playing AP Volibear fun and popular to play with this skin utilizing the Void creatures on the Summoner's Rift, the Void Grubbies, the rift herald and baron nashor to tear down shrines.
So even though it is no longer canon and they decided to erase that part from history, I will still honor this playstyle as Riot has missed out on a huge opportunity to pursue a storyline between theFreljord and the Void. I will honor this because it takes place in history of the AP Volibear meta.
Riftmaker grants omnivamp while in combat at max stacks, which synergizes with Volibear's passive: The Relentless Storm allowing him to heal off the the target. The more AP he has, the more attack speed he gains, and the faster he will heal.
The SHRINEšBREAKER name was actually created before Hullbreaker was born. Once Hullbreaker came out, it just made the playstyle even better. Back in the day, I used to build Frozen Heart, Frostfire, which is now Iceborn Gauntlet, Warmog's Armor, Sterak's Gage, and Titanic Hydra.
Ever since Hullbreaker came out, Volibear only needed 3 items to end the game. At the time of mythics using either Riftmaker or Iceborn Gauntlet into either Nashor's Tooth or Titanic Hydra or both. Then Once you had Hullbreaker + the Baron Nashor buff on the jacked supers, you were ready to go. This is what I consider to be one of my greatest SHRINEšBREAKERā”VOLIBEARš»clips. The point of this is to show you how powerful 3 items can be on Volibear. Be sure to turn the šsound on.
Now that season 14 has no more mythic items, with some new additional items added, we can build literally anything with the Hullbreaker and call it a BREAKER build. The best thing about this season is we can now FUSE the STORM BREAKER and the RIFT BREAKER playstyle together. We can play Iceborn Gauntlet and Riftmaker together!
In this guide, I will show all my BREAKER builds that I am currently playing with per patch. Volibear is an incredibly versatile champion. He can go AP, AD, and Tank or even hybrid. This allows him to adapt to situational matchups. The rule when it comes to the BREAKER style, you can build whatever you want as long as you have Hullbreaker. If you love a build from another Volibear one trick, you can create a BREAKER build version of it. I love seeing what everyone else is cooking up out there on the Rift!
When I joined the Volibear main server on Discord at the time of when Volibear was reworked, there was literally an AP controversy on the server. Anyone who dared to talk about AP Volibear was hit with a command !ap (which is no longer there anymore).
As a few months rolled on, AP Volibear started to become meta. The thing about it is if it is not played in pro play or someone in high elo, they don't care. Not even Trick2g was considered a viable source of optimal Volibear builds, which was appalling to me. How could they disrespect the šG.O.A.T. like that!?
It was untilOYO, a famous Korean Volibear one trick starting going with Riftmaker and Hullbreaker.
Then finally the Volibear server started to listen more and be open minded to AP builds. It actually made meta thanks to those who listened to me, Trick2g, and OYO, and many others. It was no longer a meme and an actual meta to this day! I enjoyed watching countless videos grow on YouTube, but the one that caught my eye beyond appreciation was seeing this thumbnail.
Feel welcomed to join myDiscord to meet some really cool Volibear players and streamers of all kinds.
This season we don't have the cookie cutter builds now that mythics are no longer a thing. We have so many options available to for the Volibear. My advice to you is to find what build helps you for situational matches and the playstyle you want to use. For my playstyle, I like to BREAK towerstop and jungle. You will find 100s of videos of me on YouTube BREAKING the Nexus towers with the š»BEARšSPECIAL!

These are the
Volibear streamers that I watch most of the time. I am always looking for more Volibear streamers out there, other than that, I tend to watch Volibear content onYouTube.Trick2g plays Volibeartop. He is famous for the breach playstyle mostly playing Udyr. I have adapted my playstyle based on a lot of his. I watch his stream and study his lane phase, runes, and items vs certain champions, and most of all I try to perfect my split push macro skills.Cookiemanman is a jungle Volibear one trick who is one of the top best in NA. He plays the standard style following the standard runes and usually recommended items to climb to high elo on. He is known for duoing with Trick2g. He reached out to me to help format a Mobafire guide. I highly recommend that you guys go over there and give an upvote.Volibear_OYO plays Volibeartop. A lot of people tend to look up to this Korean Volibear one trick when it comes to optimal builds or introducing new items into meta. Recently he has made Unending Despair, Fimbulwinter, and Spirit Visage with Ingenious Hunter reducing the cooldown on the items. This allows Volibear to sustain and drain his enemies thanks to the ability haste on W Frenzied Maul, but also Unending Despair's insane healing + damage combo. Sometimes I will turn one of his builds into a BREAKER build with Hullbreaker.KingKongLoL plays bothtop and jungle Volibear. He's a Wukong main, but often plays the bear when he wants to or needs to. He is usually up to date on the latest next big hot thing or builds on the champions that he plays, which is great content for all of us.SirBerlinStyle is a German Volibear jungle one trick that I love to watch and learn from.
The legendary
BrotherBerk famous for reacting to my SHRINEšBREAKERā”VOLIBEARš» playstyle and he is the voice in my intro. I don't think there will ever be another person as good as this guy's reaction. I'm already callin it the šG.O.A.T. of streamer reactions. Be sure to turn on the šsound!
