Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Volibear's superior base damage and Q-W-E combo burst, but the matchup shifts in your favor post-6 when your R sustain outscales his damage output.
- Level 2 is particularly dangerous as Volibear gains his full engage combo while you only have poke and minor sustain.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves poking with Q from max range, then backing off to avoid his Q engage - never trade in extended fights early game.
- Post-6, you can take longer trades by using R proactively, then kiting with Q while your passive and ultimate heal you through his damage.
Wave Control
- Focus on slow pushing waves early to build minion advantages that discourage Volibear's all-ins, then look for recalls on cannon waves.
- After level 6, you can afford to match his push or even fast push to deny him roam opportunities since you outscale in side lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never face-check bushes or let Volibear get free Q engages, as his early game burst combined with minion damage will chunk you heavily.
- Don't waste your R defensively in losing trades - save it for when you can actually turn fights or need to survive ganks.
