Volibear vs Fizz

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's strong early dueling and durable clear to control river and force early objective fights against Fizz's burst and mobility.
Leverage high clear speed and gank threat to deny Fizz scaling and roam attempts by contesting camps and setting up dives post-level 6.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early river control and fight for first Scuttle only when your lanes can follow and provide support.
Invade Fizz's jungle camps before his level 6 spike to deny farm and force defensive pathing.
Use lane priority to set up post-level 6 dives or objective pressure, capitalizing on (R) tower disables and gank threat.

Danger windows

Respect Fizz's level 3 burst combo timing; avoid extended fights before this point to reduce risk of lethal trades.
Be cautious contesting isolated river fights without lane priority, as Fizz's mobility can create unfavorable skirmishes.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights near early dragon setups to prevent being burst down by Fizz's combo.

Early game

Start with a full clear that allows early river presence to contest or secure first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid direct invades before level 3 when Fizz's burst combo is weak, but be ready to counter-invade if Fizz shows early aggression.
Maintain health through Volibear's sustain to enable early skirmishes and objective setups around dragon or Rift Herald.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Volibear's full trade pattern with (Q), (W), and (E), enabling controlled brawls to punish Fizz before his burst combo is reliable.
Level 6 grants (R), allowing tower dives and extended fights that force Fizz off waves or into risky recalls.
First bruiser or tank item increases durability, making repeated (W) trades more effective and forcing Fizz to respect sustained fights.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and health leads into securing dragon and Rift Herald with vision control and lane priority.
Use Volibear's strong post-level 6 gank threat to dive isolated targets and force enemy recalls or objective advantages.
Deny Fizz free farm and scaling by invading pre-level 6 camps and maintaining pressure through mid-game skirmishes.
