He can get away from your crowd control easily. He will be tanky later in the game and is annoying to catch up to. Try to farm the best you can and wait for the jungler if you can't lane against him.

2.) Introduction
Who am I?
I'm a Twitch VTuber that plays league of legends often (Check me out!).
Volibear is one of my favorite champions. I mained him back in season 8 and 9 before the rework. I used to do the cheese strat and flipped everyone under my tower and knocking them back again while they were being attacked by the tower. I did this by staying under my tower looking helpless and trying to CS close to my tower. This made them impatient. Once they got close enough to my tower, I would flip them and knock them back again while they were getting autoed by tower. My ultimate gave me extra auto attack damage which helped me finish them off. After the rework, I've been relearning
Volibear. Here I am making a guide that I hope people would look over because it'll help them climb faster in the ranks. I hope it gives people an opportunity to play top lane with
Volibear since some people are not comfortable playing in the jungle. Some people think it's just a jungle champion. You can play
Volibear in different roles. I will update the guide as the year goes on! Thank you for reading this, I appreciate you all!
Why play Volibear?
1.) He's a tank
2.) Doesn't really die
3.) Does damage while being a tank
4.) Can dive under towers
5.) Climb ranks really well
6.) Has shields, heals, crowd control, and damage
7.) Good in multiple roles
8.) Great at ganks
9.) His
Stormbringer allows for solo/team tower dive fights
10.) Volibear can go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

However, he does have issues with certain champions early game like ![]() ![]() ![]() |
5.) Combos
Level 2 Combo Trade
You will level up your
Thundering Smash and
Sky Splitter.
Try to get your passive
The Relentless Storm at max stacks and than place your
Sky Splitter near the back end of the target but still have the target within the circle a little bit. This will confuse the target for a split second making them figure out where to go. You will use
Thundering Smash to stun them in the AOE and auto attack the target 3 times and leave. This will hurt your target a lot early game. If you know you can continue attacking and finish them off, feel free too!
Level 3 Combo Trade
You are going to do the same thing, but add
Frenzied Maul. If possible, try to use
Frenzied Maul first and mark the target. Wait for them to get close again while they are marked, then execute the full combo. This will deal extra damage to the target and burst their health down. Runes and everything will contribute to your combo burst. This is lane bullying.
You will level up your
