LoL Classic - Volibear Jungle Build

Changes for Classic

• Coming Soon!

How to Play

Volibear can be a strong Jungler, but he does need some time to come online. He is weak early, so you need to powerfarm and pick up as much XP and CS as possible. If the enemy Jungler invades you early, you might need to think twice before fighting them, just in case! Look for ganking opportunities on enemies who are over extended in lane, as Volibear’s mobility spell is great at locking down and closing the gap between targets. Do this as often as you can to gain a lead.

During the mid and late game, make sure you’re looking to secure objectives like the Baron and Dragons to give your team more XP, gold and buffs, as this is the best way to win the game. In team fights, you can look to flank to get onto the enemy carry, or Flash in and use your combo on them to kill them quickly.

Runes Explained

For Volibear Jungle, you can take either AS or AD Runes depending on your preference. Attack Speed will also help you clear jungle camps faster, while AD will increase your damage output and make it easier to kill them. Armor Seals are a good option for Volibear, as they reduce the damage you take from jungle monsters and help you stay healthier while clearing camps. Finally, Magic Resistance Glyphs help you survive magic damage during ganks and teamfights against AP champions on the enemy team.

For Quints, you have multiple options: Attack Speed Quints are a good option for Volibear because they help him clear jungle camps faster; however, AD Quints are also a very strong choice and can help with trading and 1v1s. Alternatively, Movement Speed Quints can help Volibear move around the map faster, making it easier to gank lanes and chase and kite enemies.

Masteries Explained

Volibear’s Jungle Masteries are basically the same as when you play him in the Top Lane. You should go for 21-9-0 on Volibear to increase your damage output. Opt for Attack Damage, Armor Pen and all the Masteries that give you additional damage. This will make your early clear easier and also increase your threat and damage output in those 1v1s. 

The remaining points should be put in the Defense Tree as Volibear is actually quiet vulnerable and easy to kill. Going Utility wouldn’t make sense as you need the extra tanky stats! Take Masteries that give you bonus Health, Armor and reduced jungle monster damage to make your early clears healthier and more efficient.
