Volibear is a fighter whose attacks and abilities raise his attack speed, with bonus magic damage to nearby enemies after a while. Thundering Smash stuns, Frenzied Maul marks and can be recast to heal, Sky Splitter slows and gives a shield, and Stormbringer leaps him in while disabling nearby turrets.
Volibear leaps onto enemies with Stormbringer, gains bonus health and slows those under him, then strikes with Thundering Smash and Frenzied Maul. Near an enemy turret, the ultimate disables it, which allows you to dive.
