Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke with Q, as Volibear lacks gap closers early and takes free harass.
- Post-6 you still have the advantage since your R execute threshold often beats his healing, and you can kite with E slow while maintaining W damage.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q when he goes for CS, then if he engages with Q, immediately E him away and continue W while backing off.
- Never let him stick to you for extended trades since his W bite and passive lightning will out-sustain your damage over time.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish range advantage and deny his CS, but avoid overextending past river since you're vulnerable to ganks without flash.
- After first back, maintain slow pushes to build up minion advantages for your all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E defensively against his Q charge if you're healthy - save it for when he's actually in range to follow up.
- Getting caught without E means he can run you down with Q movespeed and W healing through your damage.
