Volibear's ultimate "channels the storm, causing all basic attacks for 12 seconds to deal 75/115/155(+0.3 AP) magic damage, which chains to 4 nearby enemies."
So, does this mean that he does this effect on top of his base AD, or does this replce his basic attack nornal damage with this?
Thank you
It adds onto his attacks, which is what makes Volibear such a potent offensive threat if you approach him correctly. Sure he's a tank first and foremost, and you should make sure he does that. But he's one of my favorite jungles, and I've actually found a LOT of success with playing him with a Feral Flare back in S4, and with a Devourer's in the preseason. If he's top, a BotRK achieves the same effect.
Volibear has a very strong synergy with on hit effects, something that his ult makes all the more potent. Building a bit of extra attack speed as well as an additional on hit effect to compliment his ult will let him get in way more damage over the course of a teamfight, or make him an incredibly potent duelist against single targets. More often than not sacrificing a bit of early health for some on hit damage benefits me so much more than just going straight tank, and fits into my personal playstyle more as I prefer to have some damage I can play with even while being a tank.
On another note, Rammus. Mmmmm that passive AD boost.
But yeah, that ult adds onto the damage from his normal attacks, however he'll only be dealing the damage of the normal attack to the target, the ones who get the lightning bounced to them are only taking that bonus damage. But that bonus damage combined with his natural attack speed and an AS boosting item lets him rip through carries like they're tissue paper, and outtrade other tanks entirely.
Ahhhh gotcha. Yeah I'm gonna get Volibear for sure next, secretly OP.
Thank you!
It should really say bonus damage, since the 75/115/155(+0.3 AP) is the damage of the lightning bolt, and he also deals AA damage to the primary damage. it would be a huge nerf to voli if it replaced his auto since you never want to go AP on voli.
All autoattack modifiers are in addition to base AD (in some like Nasus's Q it shows the autoattack base damage in the tooltip, and in some like Poppy's Q it changes the entire damage to one type).
It's on top of his basic, it doesn't replace.
It is bonus damage.
Thunder Claws is a self-targeted buff that grants an on-hit effect. EDIT: On-hit effects are effects that trigger on a champion's autoattacks and a select few abilities. An autoattack or ability that applies on-hit effects can apply any number of these effects at once.
Wait I think aa damage is still there in Voli's case idk tbh.
