Who Wins
- You struggle in early trades pre-6 against Volibear's Q-W combo, especially when you have no graves for ghouls.
- Post-6 you become significantly stronger as your R + ghouls create a sustained damage threat that Volibear cannot match in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to E when Volibear goes for CS, then Q the ghouls onto him while staying at max range.
- If he Q dashes onto you with 4 ghouls up, W cage him immediately and let your minions do the work while you kite with Q empowerment.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and generating graves early, avoiding extended trades until you have 3+ graves available.
- Once you hit 6, you can start pushing aggressively with Maiden and look to establish split push pressure that Volibear cannot match.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W cage defensively when you have no ghouls to capitalize on the trap - Volibear can easily tank the wall damage and still win the trade.
- Never fight extended trades pre-6 without at least 3 graves, as Volibear's base damage and sustain will outdamage your Q empowerment alone.
