Volibear Item Build

BRUISER LOADOUT · VOLIBEAR

Chosen of the Storm triggers at critical health and heals Volibear rapidly for a few seconds. Frenzy unlocks its bite after three repeated attacks, with damage increasing as the target loses health; Rolling Thunder adds the backward throw.

Bruiser Volibear puts Frenzy first; three repeated attacks unlock its bite, whose damage rises with the target's missing health. Warmog's Armor, Atma's Impaler, Frozen Mallet, Phantom Dancer, and Force of Nature form the core; Heal and Teleport fill the summoner slots.

Bruiser Volibear Build

Bruiser

Every Volibear build here shares the same opening purchase and the same Mercury's Treads, so the pages only separate after the first back. Three of them max Frenzy first, which suits a passive-driven champion whose damage arrives on a timer. The Bruiser page converts health through Atma's Impaler, the Tank page buys Randuin's Omen and Aegis of the Legion, and the Support page is the real departure, taking Heart of Gold and Stark's Fervor entirely on other people's behalf. The On-Hit page pairs Nashor's Tooth with Rod of Ages so Thunder Claws chains from a faster attack. Ionic Spark appears on the last two only.

Tank Volibear Build

Tank
Tank Volibear combines a defensive item path with a backward throw and a stronger bite against wounded targets, defining the durability-focused setup.

Mercury's Treads opens the documented core, and the original setup uses a Defense-heavy mastery page. Rolling Thunder (Q) increases his speed, grants a larger bonus while chasing enemy champions, and turns the first enemy attacked into the backward throw. After three repeated attacks, Frenzy (W) unlocks the bite, whose damage increases with the target's missing health.

Support Volibear Build

Support
Support Volibear emphasizes control through a damaging slow and a fear against minions and monsters, making it the pick when those disruptions matter.

Heart of Gold opens the documented core, and Ionic Spark appears later in its fixed sequence. Majestic Roar (E) damages and slows enemies, while minions and monsters are feared as well. The recorded Defense-heavy mastery page completes the variant's documented setup.

On-Hit Volibear Build

On-Hit
On-Hit Volibear makes lightning-charged attacks the variant's payoff, fitting fights where damage can bounce among nearby enemies.

Rod of Ages and Nashor's Tooth begin the documented fixed core before the remaining purchases complete its sequence. The recorded skill priority places the roar before the repeated-attack bite. Thunder Claws (R) causes Volibear's attacks to blast their targets with lightning that bounces to other nearby enemies.
