Yes, Volibear does heal through one of his core abilities, Frenzied Maul.
Volibear, the Unforgotten, has a specific mechanic within his kit that allows him to restore health during combat. This healing is tied directly to his Frenzied Maul (W) ability, which is a crucial part of his sustain and damage output in League of Legends.
How Volibear's Healing Works
Volibear's healing from Frenzied Maul is conditional, relying on a specific interaction with his targets:
- Conditional Healing: When Volibear uses Frenzied Maul, it deals bonus damage and also provides a heal to Volibear.
- Wounded Target Requirement: For the heal to occur, the target of Frenzied Maul must still be "Wounded" after the ability's cast time has completed. The "Wounded" status is applied by Volibear's initial attack or by the first cast of his Frenzied Maul.
- Timing is Key: If the "Wounded" mark on the target wears off before the cast time of the second Frenzied Maul completes, the ability will not grant the bonus damage or the heal, even if the animation of the bite appears to apply. This emphasizes the importance of timing and keeping the target marked.
Essentially, Volibear needs to land two instances of his W ability on the same target, with the second cast hitting while the target is still marked as Wounded, to benefit from the healing. This mechanic rewards aggressive, sustained combat and proper target selection, allowing him to regain health and continue fighting effectively on the frontline.
