This is Fiora's own plan; across 853 pooled games the lane is leaning Volibear.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | Your Q-Lunge Vital poke and the threat of Riposte on his Q stun let you win short level-1 trades. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | Q-Lunge into a Vital plus E Bladework's guaranteed crit lands big damage before his W (Frenzied Maul) gets a second cast to heal off. |
| Level 3 | Fiora | You chain Lunges off Vital procs and out-trade him every time his Q Thundering Smash stun is on cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Fiora | Low-cooldown Lunges and true-damage Vital chunks keep you ahead as long as you dodge or parry the Q-stun-into-W combo. |
| Level 6 | Fiora | Grand Challenge marks all four Vitals and the heal zone outlasts his W self-heal and his Sky Splitter (E) shield in the all-in. |
| First item | Fiora | Ravenous Hydra plus Vital true damage out-duels a Volibear who has only bought tank stats so far. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | He scales and his Q-stun plus R-leap threaten your backline in 5v5 — you still win the 1v1, but respect the grouped dive. |
Volibear's engage hinges on his Q, Thundering Smash — a charge-up that empowers his next auto into a stun and closes the gap, setting up his W Frenzied Maul bite and Sky Splitter slow. Bait or hold for it, because if you Riposte that stunning auto it becomes a stun back and the trade is yours for free. At Levels 2-3 your Q-Lunge into a Vital plus E Bladework's guaranteed crit chunks him hard while his W self-heal is still on a long early cooldown, so step up and punish every window his Q is down.
