Where Volibear stands in a team fight
Positioning for Volibear by class, range and real stat line — what to do when the fight starts, and what not to.
Your job in the fight
Volibear is a fighter. In a five-on-five that means one thing: trade repeatedly, survive the return damage, and win the third exchange rather than the first.
Items, runes and damage numbers are all downstream of standing in the right place when it starts.
How much you can actually take
| Stat | Level 1 | Level 18 |
|---|---|---|
| Health | 650 | 2418 |
| Attack damage | 65 | 65 |
| Armour | 35 | 123.4 |
| Magic resist | 32 | 66.9 |
Movement speed 340 and attack range 150 do not grow with levels — they are the two numbers that stay true all game.
Where to stand
At 150 range you are inside the fight by definition. The question is which side of it — entering on the same angle as your team makes you a threat, entering alone makes you a kill.
The armour and magic resist above are what you have before items, and they are the honest answer to whether you survive being focused.
