| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Levels 4-5 his early power peaks and he wins any extended exchange. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 becomes skill-decided — dodge his Q stun and kite the R leap's long cooldown. |
| First item | Yone | At first item your Botrk/crit spike flips the lane and out-DPSes his sustain. |
| Two+ items | Yone | By 2+ items Yone's mobility and knock-up kite an immobile-off-Q Volibear. |
Volibear stomps levels 1-4: Thundering Smash (Q) stuns you if he lands the run-up, Frenzied Maul (W) heals him and shreds your armor, and his raw bruiser stats beat yours in any extended trade. Don't fight him — farm at range, dodge his Q by not walking in a straight line, and just survive to your item.
