Volibear Build
the Relentless Storm
To those who still revere him, the Volibear is the storm made manifest. Destructive, wild, and stubbornly resolute, he existed before mortals walked the Freljord's tundra, and is fiercely protective of the lands that he and his demi-god kin created. Cultivating a deep hatred of civilization and the weakness it brought with it, he now fights to return to the old ways—when the land was untamed, and blood spilled freely—and eagerly battles all who oppose him, with tooth, claw, and thundering domination.
The most played Volibear Top build on patch 26.21 runs Lethal Tempo with Triumph, Legend: Haste and Last Stand, plus Demolish and Revitalize from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Ignite. Start with Doran's Ring and Health Potion, then build Statikk Shiv, Plated Steelcaps and Navori Flickerblade, followed by Spirit Visage, Thornmail and Randuin's Omen. Max W (Frenzied Maul) first, then Q (Thundering Smash), then E (Sky Splitter). It has a 49.7% win rate and a 5.1% pick rate.
