How Volibear trades
Close with Q (Thundering Smash) for the stun, then use W (Frenzied Maul) twice to heal and E (Sky Splitter) to shield while you trade in melee.
Stun and Maul
›AA›
›AA›Short trade when the enemy steps close or you walk up with Q speed. Q stuns the first target you hit.
Full Trade›AA››
›
›AA›››All-in when Q is up. Stand inside the E blast for the shield and slow, then recast W to heal and bonus damage.
Bolt Opener››AA›
››AA›Best when you can land E at range first. The slow helps you reach melee and Q for the stun.
The trapUsing Q without a clear path to the enemy, then having no stun or movement for the trade and being kited out.
