Volibear vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's strong early dueling and clear speed to pressure Zyra's slower jungle pathing.
Prioritize early river control to contest Scuttle and deny Zyra's poke and root setups.
Leverage level 6 dive threat to force fights and punish Zyra's immobility and lack of hard escape.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong CC or dive follow-up to maximize your level 6 all-in threat.
Invade Zyra's jungle when her root or plant cooldowns are down to reduce her poke and zone control.
Use river vision to set up dragon or Rift Herald fights, denying Zyra's zone control and forcing her out.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting when (Q) is on cooldown as your engage and stun are limited.
Respect Zyra's root (E) and knockup (R) combo, especially near brushes or clustered fights.
Be cautious contesting objectives if low health or if Zyra's ADC can follow root setups for counter-engage.

Early game

Start full clear to reach level 3 quickly and threaten early invades before Zyra completes hers.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to leverage your dueling and objective control.
Avoid isolated river fights if Zyra's ADC can follow root setups; wait for lane priority before invading.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full combo: stun (Q), shield (E), and repeat heal (W) for strong brawls.
Level 6 (R) enables tower dives and disables enemy turret, increasing kill and objective pressure.
First bruiser or tank item boosts durability, allowing extended trades and objective control.

Win conditions

Convert early health leads and level 6 dive threat into tower plates and dragon control.
Use strong dueling and objective control to deny Zyra farm and scaling comfort.
Force fights around vision control to isolate Zyra and prevent her from using plants and roots effectively.
