Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke potential with Q sweet spots, as Volibear lacks gap closers to punish your positioning.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more volatile since Volibear's R gives him tower diving potential and burst damage that can match your sustain.
How to Trade
- Look for Q1 sweet spot poke when Volibear approaches minions, then immediately E away to avoid his Q engage.
- If he commits with Q, you can W behind him and look for extended trades with Q2-Q3 combo while kiting backwards.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish range advantage and deny Volibear's ability to freeze near his tower.
- After level 6, maintain neutral positioning since pushing becomes risky due to his R tower dive potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in melee range without your E available, as Volibear's W bite and passive lightning will out-trade you in close combat.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where his passive and R lightning can spread damage and sustain him through your combo.
