Read from Volibear's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sion.
This is Volibear's own plan; across 1,640 pooled games the lane is leaning Sion.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Volibear | Level 1 favours you because your Passive attack speed and W bleed out-brawl Sion before he has his charged Q. |
| Level 2 | Volibear | Level 2 stays yours as E and Q let you start interrupting his windups. |
| Level 3 | Volibear | Level 3 favours you because Q stun and E slow reliably cancel his charged Decimating Smash. |
| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Levels 4-5 remain yours since Soul Furnace is 15s and your double-bite heal outlasts it. |
| Level 6 | Volibear | Level 6 favours you as R Stormbringer converts your stun into a guaranteed dive through his shield. |
| First item | Volibear | First item still favours you because your bruiser DPS out-paces his shield uptime and armor. |
| Two+ items | Sion | Two-plus items favour Sion because his global R engage, flank Q, revive passive, and HP stacking outscale your lane-bound kit. |
You dominate from level 1: your Passive attack speed and W bleed win the melee brawl, and Sion has no fast trade tool before Q is leveled. Levels 2-3 stay firmly yours because E slow and Q stun let you interrupt his charged Decimating Smash before it lands, removing his one big damage window.
