How to win lane as Pantheon against Volibear · 52.35% win rate over 766 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Your point-and-click W stun and Q out-damage a dash-less Volibear who has no level-1 brawl tools yet. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Your level-2 W+Q all-in spikes before he has the HP or sustain to trade back. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With E up you block his W bite's slow and damage, then W-stun and burst him faster than his heal recovers. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Empowered-Q poke and E anti-bite control keep you ahead while his self-heal is still small. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | His R shields him and disables your tower for an even brawl, while your R is built for roams not this 1v1. |
| First item | Even / skill | You're still ahead on tempo and should be cashing it into objectives before his bruiser scaling arrives. |
| Two+ items | Volibear | At 2+ items his W heal, E stun and tank stats let him absorb your burst and dive your squishy frame. |
Volibear is a weak, dash-less level 1 and you are one of the best — open with point-and-click W to stun him and a Q tap, and he has nothing to answer. At 2 you spike into your all-in; at 3 with E online you can hold the directional block toward his W bite so the slow and damage just don't land, then W-stun in and Q-burst. Don't let him free-stack HP and W-heal off minions; every level you trade is a level his sustain hasn't come online.
