Volibear Jungle General Playstyle:
Volibear Jungle Early Game:
Focus on ganking to get your laners ahead. Volibear's Q provides strong ganking power, and his E offers a slow, making it easier to secure kills.
Volibear Jungle Mid Game:
Play around objectives. Volibear excels in teamfights, especially with his ultimate. Ensure you're present for dragon and Rift Herald contests.
Volibear Jungle Late Game:
Protect your carries and look for picks. Avoid diving too deep without team support.
Volibear Jungle Farming:
Volibear has a good clear speed. Maintain your passive by pulling out the camps for efficient clearing.
Volibear Jungle Pathing Options:
1. Full Clear: Start from bot side and clear till top side or vice versa. (Blue > Gromp > Wolves > Raptors > Red > Krugs > Scuttle)
2. 4 Camp Clear: Start at Blue and aim to be at Scuttle right when it spawns. (Blue > Gromp > Wolves > Red > Scuttle)
Volibear during Teamfighting:
- Use your ultimate to initiate fights or to disrupt the enemy backline.
- Protect your carries and peel for them using your Q and E.
- Use Gargoyle Stoneplate for added survivability during dives or when focused.
Volibear around Objectives:
Dragon: Ensure vision control around the dragon pit. Use your ultimate to engage or disengage fights.
Baron: Secure vision and use your Q and E to peel for your team. Remember, Volibear's W provides sustain, making him effective in prolonged Baron fights.

Additional Advice on how to play Volibear:
- Volibear is item-dependent. Ensure you're farming efficiently and participating in fights to secure gold.
- He can be kited easily, so items with movement speed are beneficial.
- Volibear's strength lies in the early to mid-game. Abuse his ganking potential during this period.
- Always be aware of the enemy team's composition and adjust your build accordingly.
