Volibear Top guide

Volibear top is a stun-and-mark bully built around Thundering Smash (Q), Frenzied Maul (W), and Stormbringer (R): gain speed toward a target and stun the first enemy he attacks with Thundering Smash, mark them with Frenzied Maul, then recast Frenzied Maul on that mark for bonus damage and healing while The Relentless Storm (passive) adds Attack Speed and bonus magic damage on his attacks.

The build

Rune page: Lethal Tempo, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Last Stand (Precision), with Demolish and Revitalize (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Sky Splitter (E) at level 1, then Thundering Smash (Q) at level 2, maxing Frenzied Maul (W) first with Thundering Smash (Q) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Dusk and Dawn, Navori Flickerblade, Spirit Visage, with Riftmaker, Unending Despair, and Thornmail as later options.

Ability mechanics

Thundering Smash (Q) gains speed toward enemies and stuns and damages the first one he attacks. Frenzied Maul (W) damages an enemy, applies on-hit effects, and marks them; recasting it on that same target deals bonus damage and heals him. Sky Splitter (E) drops a lightning bolt at a location, damaging and slowing enemies while shielding him if he's caught in the blast. Stormbringer (R) leaps him to a location, slowing and damaging enemies beneath him, granting bonus Health, and temporarily disabling nearby enemy towers.
