Volibear vs Ornn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's early lane pressure and durable brawls to deny Ornn a calm scaling lane.
Prioritize forcing health leads before level 6 to enable strong dive threat and extended trades.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Volibear must leverage early aggression to prevent Ornn from reaching his teamfight power.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q) to stun and force contact, then position (E) to slow and shield during the fight.
Commit to extended trades only when second (W) healing is guaranteed and (Q) is available for follow-up.
Punish Ornn if he uses (E) away from terrain or wastes (R) without follow-up by forcing short trades and wave pressure.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup when near terrain; avoid fighting close to walls or his (Q) pillar setups.
Beware of (W) brittle application that amplifies follow-up damage and crowd control.
Exercise caution after using (Q) as Volibear's engage is less reliable and Ornn can punish missed approaches.

Early game

Aggressively use (Q) to engage and force melee trades where (E) shield and (W) healing can be maximized.
Avoid chasing Ornn through terrain that enables his (E) knockup and (W) brittle trades.
Control the wave to keep Ornn under pressure and prevent him from farming safely.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten tower dives and force Ornn off waves, exploiting his low early agency.
After first bruiser or tank item, pressure trades to leverage Volibear's durability and sustain advantage.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and increased durability from tank items by avoiding overextension and maintaining cooldown awareness.

Win conditions

Use early lane pressure and repeated (W) trades to build health leads and force Ornn into defensive play.
Convert level 6 into aggressive tower dives or forced recalls by leveraging (R) and wave crashes.
Deny Ornn stable farm and scaling by maintaining lane dominance and punishing cooldown windows consistently.
