| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Level 1 is yours before Volibear's Q stun and W sustain come online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as he picks up his kit but can't yet out-trade you cleanly. |
| Level 3 | Volibear | Level 3 favors Volibear once Frenzied Maul heal and Thundering Smash stun are online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Levels 4-5 stay his as his W sustain out-heals your extended trades. |
| Level 6 | Volibear | At 6 Stormbringer's shield, unstoppable dash, and tower disable beat your all-in. |
| First item | Volibear | First item favors Volibear as his bruiser sustain out-duels you straight up. |
| Two+ items | Warwick | With two-plus items Warwick's lifesteal and R flanks out-scale his front-line diving. |
Level 1 is yours before Volibear has his stun: your Q Jaws and passive win the opening trade if he steps up. But once he hits Thundering Smash and Frenzied Maul at 2-3 the lane flips — his W heals and shreds while his Q stuns any close-range fight, so stop trading toe-to-toe and juke his Q with erratic movement.
