Volibear vs Warwick

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Volibear's faster clear and strong early dueling let him contest river and force early fights when lanes have priority.
Use Volibear's high objective control to secure early dragon or Rift Herald before Warwick can scale or contest.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing toward lanes with CC or dive follow-up to maximize gank threat after level 3.
Fight for first Scuttle when your lanes can move first to secure river control and deny Warwick's sustain fights.
Use health leads and lane priority to invade Warwick's jungle or force him off camps before his level 6 spike.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting Warwick when his (E) fear and (R) suppression are both available, as this combo locks you down.
Be cautious contesting river fights early without lane priority, since Warwick's sustain and dueling make isolated skirmishes risky.
Respect Warwick's level 6 all-in threat during objective setups, especially if your health or cooldowns are low.

Early game

Start with a healthy full clear to hit level 3 quickly and look to contest the first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid blind invades without vision or lane priority to prevent Warwick's counter-invades.
Use early clears to establish vision around dragon and Void Grubs to control objectives before Warwick arrives.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Volibear's full combo with stun, shield, and healing; force extended fights where Warwick's sustain is less effective.
Level 6 (R) grants tower dive potential and turret disable; use health leads and wave crashes to force dives or tower fights.
First bruiser or tank item increases durability, enabling Volibear to absorb Warwick's damage and sustain through trades.

Win conditions

Convert early health leads and lane priority into aggressive dives with (R) to force Warwick off the map and secure plates or objectives.
Use superior clear speed and objective control to secure early dragon and Rift Herald, denying Warwick scaling opportunities.
Track Warwick's pathing to counter-jungle effectively when he commits to low-priority lanes, leveraging Volibear's dueling and sustain to snowball.
