Scuttle Contest
- You lose early scuttle fights unless you can bait his Q and immediately E to negate the stun and following damage.
- Post-6, you win any 1v1 where you can activate R before he engages - the armor and magic resist make his burst insufficient while your sustained damage overwhelms him.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Volibear will likely start top side and look for aggressive early pathing toward your jungle around 3:00-3:30.
- He'll prioritize vertical jungling and invades over efficient farming, so expect him on your side of the map frequently.
Invade or Not
- No, avoid invading unless you have significant backup from laners - his early game combat stats are too strong.
- If you must contest, wait until level 6 when your R gives you the defensive stats needed to survive his burst combo.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't fight him in tight jungle spaces where you can't kite or use your Q mobility effectively - he excels in close-quarters combat.
- Never engage without your E available as it's your only tool to negate his Q stun and the follow-up damage that typically decides the fight.
