This is Camille's own plan; across 812 pooled games the lane is leaning Volibear.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Frenzied Maul heals him every 5s and Thundering Smash speeds him into range while you have one ability — he edges Level 1, so just farm. |
| Level 2 | Camille | Hookshot gives you the wall-dash knockup and attack-speed burst; trade inside Thundering Smash's 12s, since your E is 16s. |
| Level 3 | Camille | Empowered Q's true-damage re-cast and W's max-HP outer-blade slash out-trade him before he has resists — this is your cleanest bully phase. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | You out-duel a pre-item Volibear: space the W outer blade to heal, weave the true-damage Q re-cast, step off his Smash charge. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | A 160s Stormbringer gives him HP and Frenzied Maul lets him brawl out your arena timer, so the isolated 1v1 is a genuine skill fight. |
| First item | Camille | Trinity Force's Sheen proc on your Q re-cast makes your wall-dives lethal — force every all-in on this first-item spike. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Full-build Volibear heals through your W and dives your backline with R (Stormbringer) — he reclaims this window, so end the game before it. |
Volibear at Level 1-2 is a real threat — Frenzied Maul heals him every 5s and Thundering Smash speeds him into range, so don't trade into a committed charge without your kit up. Your turn comes at 2-3: once Hookshot and the true-damage Q re-cast are online you out-trade him cleanly. The key read is Thundering Smash: it is a 12s speed-up into an attack-reset stun, so the wind-up is the tell — walk out of it, then wall-dash him and weave Q-Q. Watch for Sky Splitter too, which slows you and shields him from range.
