Who Wins
- Pre-6: Volibear wins most trades due to his Q stun, W bite damage, and superior base stats in short exchanges.
- Post-6: You gain significant advantage as your R provides ranged poke and your full combo can outduel him if you use W properly to avoid his engage.
How to Trade
- Look for extended trades after level 6 where you can land R, then E in for empowered autos and Q stacks while using W to become untargetable when he tries to retaliate.
- Avoid short trades early game as his Q-W combo will chunk you harder than your damage output.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to get level advantages and recall timings, but be cautious of his Q engage when overextended.
- After first back with items, you can start freezing near your tower to force him to overextend for CS, then punish with your superior sustained damage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively too early in trades - save it for when he commits with Q or when you're low on health to avoid his execute damage.
- Never fight him in extended trades pre-6 without a significant item or level advantage as his base damages and sustain will win.
