Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades if you can stack passive on minions before engaging, as your sustained DPS with 5 stacks outmatches Volibear's burst.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R resets and mobility let you kite around his R zone while dealing consistent damage.
How to Trade
- Look to Q through low minions to stack passive, then E-Q onto Volibear when he steps up for CS to proc your passive stacks with autos before Q'ing back to safety.
- Avoid extended trades without passive stacks as his W heal and base damages will win.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to build minion advantage for passive stacking, then look to freeze when you have item advantage to force him into bad trades.
- You want multiple low-health minions available for Q resets during fights.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't Q directly onto Volibear without passive stacks or minion setup for escape, as his Q-W combo will chunk you heavily and you'll be stuck in melee range.
- Never fight him in his R zone without significant item advantage as the damage and slow will prevent your kiting.
