Overview

Use superior ranged spacing and (Q) mobility to deny Volibear early melee access and avoid his engages.

Trading pattern

Trade by auto-attacking from max range and using (Q) to maintain spacing; only use (E) to (E) Volibear into walls when he commits.
Punish Volibear immediately after he uses (Q) as his engage threat drops.
Avoid using (Q) forward when his engage is ready to prevent getting stunned and locked down.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun availability as it enables his all-in and extended trades.
Be cautious when Volibear is marked for second (W) hit, as his healing and damage spike.

Early game

Keep the wave on your side to avoid giving Volibear easy (Q) engages.
Use (Q) to reposition and avoid his (Q) stun attempts early.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce gank risk and bait Volibear into unsafe trades.

After your two-item spike, pressure side lanes with vision and kite space to exploit your true damage against Volibear's durability.
Respect Volibear's level 6 (R) dive threat and his first bruiser item spike that increases his sustain and durability in trades.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and (Q) repositioning to deny Volibear melee trades and scale safely.
Exploit windows after (Q) is down to punish and chip him.
Reach your two-item power spike to dominate side-lane duels and shred Volibear with true damage while maintaining vision and kiting space.
