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.
