This is Volibear's own plan; across 482 pooled games the lane is leaning Volibear.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Trundle | Trundle wins level 1: Chomp is a hefty single-target bite plus an attack-damage reduction that stings your early autos. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even at 2 it is skill: both add a spell, and your passive stacking hasn't yet overtaken his bite trade. |
| Level 3 | Volibear | You take over at 3: Frenzied Maul stacks and passive attack speed let you out-sustain his single-target damage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Levels 4-5 stay yours as your W heal snowballs the extended trades in your favour. |
| Level 6 | Volibear | Level 6 is yours: Stormbringer dives through his kiting for a burst-and-slow all-in he can't match. |
| First item | Volibear | First item is yours as bruiser stats amplify your passive DPS over his duelist scaling. |
| Two+ items | Volibear | Two items in you out-teamfight him with R engage, so the game-long edge is Volibear's. |
He edges level 1 because Chomp is a strong single-target poke bite and his Q reduces your attack damage, so respect that first trade.
