He's pretty decent as a Bruiser/Off-Tank/Full Tank. Depending on Top Lane matchup he can be quite dominant there, or as a Jungler. To the best of my knowledge he's considered quite strong at the moment because of Challenging Smite Cinderhulk which increases your Bonus HP by 25% which interacts well with his W.

If you're looking to build him as a Full-Tank Jungler, I'd suggest something along the lines of: item 3117 item 3143 item 3190 item 3110 item 3717 item 3075

Full-Tank Top Lane: item 3111 item 3800 item 3143 item 3110 item 3065 item 3075

Bruiser/Off-Tank: item 3111 item 3143 item 3074 item 3078 item 3110 item 3065

VERY SITUATIONAL Challenging Smite Cinderhulk Top: item 3111 item 3143 item 3717 item 3110 item 3065 item 3075

Challenging Smite Cinderhulk can be a bit risky in lane depending on what you're up against because you don't have Flash, but once you get your Bami's Cinder the lane becomes a lot easier.

Not going Righteous Glory as a Volibear Jungle is an awful idea. You need it to engage fights mid to late game. It is such a perfect item for Volibear that you can just ignore Frozen Heart for something else because of the Mana and get Thornmail for pure Armor instead.

Honestly, Ravenous is bad on him. Trinity is alright, but Iceborne or even Cleaver would be better options.

He have a very strong midgame, but tend to fall-of a bit late. You can easily snowball with that and will probably be able to do a LOT of damage (W + Ult damage is crazy). Build with :item 3709 item 3800 item 3143 item 3065 + item 3047 OR item 3111 core. You will have an insane midgame, nobody can 1v1 you, and you will probably delete the carrys with your W. The item 3800 will makes you more reliable, and increase your gank power.

want more armor? pick one. item 3075 item 3110 Depend on what you want / need. want to counter AP ? pick one item 3083 = For burst damage (if the APc REALY hates you, and like wasting his burst) or poke item 3102 = For everything, good in any situation. item 3156 item 3091 = If you want more damage on your AA, and don't care about being less tanky/ losing some damage on your W item 3190 = If AoE and support didn't take it.

item 3717 (For jungle) item 3074 (For lane) item 3116 Or item 3124 item 3065 item 3111 item 3143 item 3091 (for champion killing) item 3172 (for objective taking)

i played him alot and would say "mained" him for a while. hes VERY tough in soloQ because hes a very team reliant champ. he has some very big powers no one else has, but if you cant use them due to your team, you have zero anything.

Get him, I mained him last season with ~51% win rate.... that's something, in bronze :) Volibear RAWR

Play Support Bear and watch as the enemy top, mid, and jungler gank bot to try and shut down your fed ADC.

I think he's amazing, you can build him almost all tank and STILL shred the opposite team

I used to play Volibear alot, he's really good, he's also pretty boring.
