This is Volibear's own plan; across 645 pooled games the lane is leaning Volibear.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill check before she has her kiting tools online. |
| Level 2 | Lillia | Level 2 is yours — Thundering Smash catches her before Q's speed stacks. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even — Swirlseed (12s) slows you, Sky Splitter slows her back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even: her burn chips, your Maul re-bite heals it back. |
| Level 6 | Lillia | Level 6 is yours — Lilting Lullaby only sleeps you if her burn is on you. |
| First item | Lillia | First item is yours — Sundered Sky's first-hit heal outlasts her burn chip. |
| Two+ items | Volibear | At 2+ items you win — tenacity and R flanks let you finally stick and burst her. |
Level 1 is yours: she has no way to hold you off yet, so walk her down and bank the health lead. Once Blooming Blows is up she stacks move speed off every spell hit, so deny the hits — stand off the centre of Watch Out! Eep!, and step in during the 12s after her Swirlseed.
