How to beat Volibear

Common role: Top / Jungle

A diving bruiser who runs you down, stuns towers, and becomes a raging demigod.

What makes Volibear dangerous

Volibear charges in with a stun (Q), gains attack speed and shields, and his ultimate boosts his health and damage while disabling a nearby tower — letting him dive turrets fearlessly. He heals and runs you down, snowballing off early kills into an unkillable frontline.

How to play against Volibear

• 1Dodge or interrupt his Q charge — it's a run-up stun and his main engage. Without it he can't lock you down.
• 2Respect his tower-dive: his ult disables a turret, so he'll dive you under it. Don't assume tower safety when his R is up.
• 3Grievous Wounds cuts his healing — anti-heal makes his dives losing trades. Kite him after he uses his E slow.
• 4Beat him early or scale — a fed Volibear is a monster, but he's kiteable and CC before his Q catches him.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Q stun is a dodgeable/interruptible charge.
• ✓Healing cut by Grievous Wounds.
• ✓Kiteable outside his engage.
• ✓Snowball-dependent early bruiser.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Volibear's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  무자비한 폭풍

  볼리베어가 기본 공격을 하거나 스킬을 사용하면 공격 속도가 증가하며 최대 중첩 상태에서 공격 시 주변 적들에게 추가 마법 피해를 입힙니다.

• Q
  번개 강타

  볼리베어가 적을 향해 이동할 때 이동 속도가 증가하며 처음으로 기본 공격하는 대상을 기절시키고 피해를 입힙니다.

  Strong: a run-up stun — his main engage. Weak: dodge or interrupt the charge and he can't lock you down.

• W
  광란의 상처

  볼리베어가 적에게 피해를 입혀 적중 시 효과를 적용하고 표식을 남깁니다. 표식을 남긴 대상에게 다시 이 스킬을 사용하면 추가 피해를 입히고 체력을 회복합니다.

• E
  천공 분열

  볼리베어가 지정한 위치에 번개를 소환해 적에게 피해를 입히고 둔화시킵니다. 볼리베어가 폭발 반경 안에 있으면 보호막을 얻습니다.

• R
  폭풍을 부르는 자

  볼리베어가 지정한 위치로 도약하여 아래에 있는 적을 둔화시키고 피해를 입히며 추가 체력을 얻습니다. 볼리베어가 착지한 곳 근처에 있는 포탑은 일시적으로 비활성화됩니다.

  Strong: boosts his HP/damage and disables a nearby tower, enabling fearless dives. Weak: don't trust tower safety when it's up; Grievous Wounds cuts the healing.

Itemization

Volibear is AD with healing. Grievous Wounds, armor and slows to kite him are core. Respect his tower-disable dive when his ult is up, and interrupt his Q charge.
