How to play as Volibear

Hold Thundering Smash for Bel'Veth's Royal Maelstrom when possible; stunning her out of the channel stops its slashes before she can use the damage reduction and lifesteal to survive the duel.

Use your early pressure to contest Voidgrubs or Rift Herald when your lanes have priority; denying Bel'Veth the enhanced Void Coral prevents her from extending true form and creating a Remora push. If your lanes lack priority, take a safe cross-map play instead of forcing the objective. (Unverified: no source confirms this note.)

Bel'Veth's Royal Maelstrom makes her channel in place while gaining damage reduction and lifesteal; Volibear's stun can interrupt the channel and cut off that defensive window.
