Volibear vs Vi

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's fast clear and strong dueling to contest river control and force early fights when lanes have priority.
Prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald control to leverage Volibear's objective strength and deny Vi's lockdown advantage.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes with priority to enable early dives or counter-ganks using (Q) stun and (R) tower disable.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald early when you have lane priority and vision control to deny Vi's objective access.
Use tempo advantage from fast clears to invade or counter-jungle when Vi commits to ganks without flash or (Q).

Danger windows

Respect Vi's early (Q) dash and knockback for gank attempts before level 6; avoid isolated river fights without lane priority.
Avoid low-health clears where Vi can force smite fights or invade with (R) lockdown.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Vi has lane priority or flash available for guaranteed picks.

Early game

Execute a healthy, fast first clear to hit level 3 quickly and contest the first Scuttle when allied lanes can move first.
Avoid direct invades unless nearby lanes can follow with CC to counter Vi's early ganks.
Secure river Scuttle early to deny Vi vision and objective control.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) dive and tower disable, increasing dive threat; use health leads and wave crashes to force recalls or kills.
First bruiser or tank item boosts durability, enabling extended (W) trades; pressure fights while tracking Vi's disengage.
Level 3 full ability pattern grants stun, shield, and slow; look for controlled trades where you can lock Vi down and heal with (W).

Win conditions

Convert early river control and lane priority into dragon and Rift Herald to snowball leads.
Use (Q) stun and (R) tower disable to dive and force recalls or kills after level 6, denying Vi scaling.
Track Vi's pathing to counter-gank effectively and punish her when she overextends for ganks or invades.
