VOLIBEAR IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! - Legends of Runeterra

[@PedroFerreira-ne3jv]

Love the differences between Ornn and Volibear on a design/lore perspective. Ornn grows their followers little by little to get to gargantuan sizes using weapons, but volibear just care about Stats being good by themselves. Just like in lore Ornn had followers that he cared for and Volibear just believes in “Mighty makes Right”

[@speedweednfeed6721]

Wish there was a reason to play the two champs together. Like some sort of card that creates volis rune armour from before his rework if ornn and voli are in the same deck.

[@mattlo1664]

wow I never thought about that, runeterra is amazing

[@novaseer]

@@speedweednfeed6721 See, I'd personally love the opposite - if it's a Voli deck versus an Ornn deck, replace some other card's effect with an effect that summons both champions, levels them up to a unique level 3, and makes their Nexuses immortal BUT if Voli or Ornn die, that player loses the game.

[@yassinedkhili]

Getting lvl 2 voli from ARAM is juicy af

[@chrishansen1842]

The audacity of this man to have Asol stats for less mana 😭

[@drewg.8552]

Voli doesn't generate cards like ASol and especially doesn't make anything 0 cost on level 2.

Voli really took a look at how weak freljord was and decided "Fine, I'll do it myself."

[@MattHatter360]

That's literally what he's trying to do in lore lol

[@souravlaha8177]

Imagine Volibear + ASol + Celestials + Mega Ramp + The Skies Descend for Volibear level up = The new fav deck!

[@jawz9455]

Volibear has to level on round end or else you could just level him on attack after block has been decided giving all your allies overwhelm.

Even before it was mentioned in this video, the first deck I’m building is a voli/Janna/ekko deck. You are discounting cards from both sides and you have great draw potential for freljord. You heard it right here folks!

[@astylfranklin9402]

Him saying "When all is dark and cold, I shall remain" defeats past notions of people saying the gods wouldn't exist without people believing them. Because if all is dark and cold, there'd be no one to pray to Volibear, so clearly he doesn't give a sh*t who believes in him.

[@chrishansen1842]

Maybe he's just built different? Isn't there that 2 drop that's desperately trying to get people to remember them so they don't "die"?

[@TheJadeFist]

Flamecaller Caprine, you can buff her with Ice Shard without needing scargrounds in play. I think the value of this unit though is simply to have a blocker that's hard to remove, so you can stall out longer to reach the big boys. It'll scale with you too. If she's alive when Volibear is played, she just straight up gets +3/+3 making her a 4 mana 7/6, assuming you haven't even played another elemental spell/skill.

[@wreakedhavoc1242]

6/5 on voli drop, she is 3/2 (implying you havent played anything else) but yes i agree it is very strong and with sky splitter protecting her i dont see any way of removing her outside of obliterate, kill or silence and assuming you use that on a 4 mana, what will you do to deal with voli?

[@SuperLotus]

Also good if you're running avalanche since she only takes 1 less damage.

[@acrofearofheights3512]

I can smell qiyana next hero reveal, prolly be a runeterra hero, that has origin for elemental spells

[@laconsuela69]

I have always been drawn to the freljord region since launch, I'm excited for this card!

[@Nobuwaroo]

Volibear one of my fav champs glad to see him in LoR

[@t-1156]

Ok put on your tinfoil hats and bear with me here. When Voli used Clash of Giants, it spawned Cithria and Ledros. If we assume the showcase tool allows them to choose what cards they want from a random pool (which sounds like the practical option), would that mean they chose the cards that would be pulled? And if so, considering we don't have champs for Demacia or Shadow Isles this set, maybe...?

[@coycen]

as someone who loves freljord and the super oositive direction it went lately AND a voli main - I'm happy AF

[@gorrarz5760]

hm the explorer "destroy a landmark" spell will do some heavy lifting against volibear decks i suppose

[@Sheriff_K]

"What is water but ice that is weak" op line! :O 👌

[@von_oblivione]

I sense Voli Aatrox. You can discount the weapons in their unit form and can trigger titanic with them too, plus forge does things in freljord

[@ipiyaka2024]

Love the Volibear!

[@EnderRogue]

That level up reminds me of when Riot teased Volibear's rework in League. During the days upcoming to his release, a giant Volibear would could randomly walk up to the ARAM bridge and smack it, knocking up every champion on the bridge.

[@danielbarnes1241]

Play a Voli Taliyah deck! She doubles the sigils and reduces the cost of the content card by 3 every attack

[@poloi3440]

Doesnt she just add one more though

[@Magnaos]

​​@@poloi3440needs testing. If you play the 6 cost Ionia thing that creates a copy of a card in your hand on coins, you will have double the coins. Maybe It works like this with taliyah and the monument

[@VitorAugusto231]

If there is a elemental champion then i believe that karma sett will become op dotching piltover for the elemental spells, theres so much removal and now there's another win con elemental spell

[@matiaswoiciechowski9356]

We are doomed as soon as Qiyana appears

[@metleon]

I can't really see Nilah picking up an elemental champion in Shadow Isles unless we're getting a Runeterra exclusive that isn't currently a follower. Darkness would make sense as an element, but they would have already made it an elemental spell. Yorick would kind of make sense as an ally but I don't think him summoning zombies is enough to make him associated with the element of earth. The other thought I had is that she's already gathered enough allies and is going to start fighting demons in Shadow Isles, but it would be weird for her to gather up a bunch of elemental allies and not include Qiyana, especially since Ixtal is pretty much the closest place to Bilgewater, anyway. So with that, I think we're getting some sort of Runeterra exclusive Shadow Isles champion that we haven't seen before in the next set.

[@exploudtv8841]

The only thing I can think of for the shadow isle is maybe like a path of champions place. Like 4-5* Virgo map maybe? But in a way what can be worse then sol path

[@lordasian8476]

Freljord is still locked till this day 🌝

[@illvison8387]

That level up animation holy shit

[@sickeningtouch]

I can’t wait to see the interactions between volibear and his siblings.

[@Kummiwummis]

I’m hyped. Ever since I picked up Runeterra, Volibear has been my most wanted champion.

[@paoloenrico5413]

Why is no one mentioning Noxus landmark (Crimson Banquet Hall) with volibear? It helps his level up and also discounts titanic units

[@lordasian8476]

the demigod sibling is complete at last. Still sad Fiddle is not coming this expansion because lore wise Fiddle is in Demacia right now but i wonder who could that new shadow isle champion be.

[@yourdunkedon7059]

Voli is hype but now I am super looking forward too yorick or fiddle

[@diestehlampe5726]

Voli can be played with Asol and a lot of invokes to play Skies Descent and level Voli instantly

[@K9QM3]

3:00 my thoughts EXACTLY 😂

[@Blackfirex-yv8uu]

Btw fiddlestick was only ONCE shown in trailer in demacia, but he will brobably be runtteran tho

[@chrisbickford1973]

As someone who plays a LOT of PoC, this makes asol so much harder

[@TheJadeFist]

The problem with storm bring though, is you're basically at Buried in Ice in terms of mana, that you might rather just play Buried in Ice to win the game. Actually Voli Bear feels that way too, that level up condition is pretty damn high, and you might just be winning before even getting there, or losing before you get there. He looks cool but more of a win more kind of champion.

[@tolmir2929]

you are supposed to play voli turn 6 though which is clearly not to late, you only need to ramp once and play a single sigile and have the combo ready, clash of giants is an alternate wincon if you do not draw voli. It's the fastest ramp deck we have seen yet which mean it's probably gonna have at least one tier 1 deck, I do agree though that's it's possible you cut voli for something else I am not sure if the skill synergy is good enough.

[@victorbarbosa9701]

If you atack with volibear and level him up your others followers gain overwelm and you Win the game with titânica He looks like a great ending in my view

[@TheJadeFist]

@@tolmir2929Ya i get you're cheating him out early, I was talking more about leveling him up or playing storm bringer. If you play him on 6, and were playing things for sigil, you don't have spell mana banked up. So you'll have Buried in Ice Mana when you'd next be able to play Storm Bringer. 4 dmg x 6 is 24, that's barely half o his level up, so it's questionable if you'll actually be leveling Volibear.

[@ДюсековИльяс]

@@TheJadeFistavalanche, deal 2 to everything if you have like 7 units in the board that’s 14

[@ethanstyant9704]

good things from sigil of the storm is you feel less shitty if your big unit get killed by disintegrate or scorched earth (noxus removal in general)

[@Waamaru]

Isnt Kennen's mark of the storm elemental ? It could make every elemental synergy crazy if that's the case, and it would be very strange if it isnt

[@louisreigne1371]

Yes it will

[@magiwastaken]

Janna Voli should be good with the discounts and elemental spell synergies. Voli would probably be just the "win harder" card then, I reckon.

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

14:10 it's really not that complicated. Ornn decks are happy to take this and several other elemental spells. People in chat kept trying to call Volibear combos, but let that go. That flame forger is not part of the Voli package. It's an awesome new Freljord card.

Its so weird to hear people say deal 4 to enemy board slow is bad when you pay 9 in SI to clear entire board. Yes its not exactly the same, but there are a lot of board shapes I can see Voli decks in where they cheat out an early Titanic ally with Storm landmarks with token, swing in, next turn opponent can't go wide because you're holding up storm bringer. Thats really strong for the deck that Voli wants to play. I think you'll usually be running one or two.

[@raviraya5553]

wait did we can build some mono vrejold deck ?

[@jamiesadf5829]

Volibear giving everyone overwhelm makes sense because its what his one plunder transform unit does also when he channels the volibear. also, I disagree that ornn is a 'little 5/5' because while those are his base stats, when he is summoned, he copies an equipment and then forges it, so at least 6/6 then based on what you picked, he could easily hit 8/8 the item only needs to get forged twice before ornn copies it. Assuming you played this funny 4 cost elemental forge lady, you would easily have something of value. Basically Ornn makes himself titanic, while volibear is inherently titanic. But anyone in an ornn deck can be titanic, given a bit of time.
