Tips Against Volibear in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Saneryus says “Unfortuantely, volibear is a statcheck match up and he can kinda just do quick tower dives on you once he hits level 4. This match up is all about not dying until level 6. SImilar to garen's and trundle's gameplan of running at you to kill you. Pre-6 is most volatile. You have to be very careful about positioning since he has a very long timer on his speed up. Once 6, hold the wave on your side as long as possible so that way you can poke/trade against him without him being able to do so in return. Unfortuantely, he can also do quick tower dives on you because of his shield until you're in lethal range to all in. Again, just do your best to survive and scale. - Stand PTA | MS Shard, HP scaling Can also go second wind/unflinching if you think jungler will camp you. - DShield - TP/Exhaust - can go merc treads early if AP jungler will camp you. Otherwise, swifty so you can outrun his speed up.”
PokeRoyal2007 says “Really annoying, but playable. Don´t fight him level 1, try to rush BOTR. If you get a kill before him, it´s free, you stomp him, but don´t be too confident because he can still kill you (his Q is annoying af)”

TENSION019 says “Phase Rush, Doran Ring, Flash and Ghost. Well well well, say hello to the most broken character in history. He stuns, he runs fast, he heals, he is tanky, he deals damage, he gets shields and he EVEN TURNS OFF TOWERS. And who is this lovely monster? Volibear, of course. You are not winning trades against this cursed champion. If you throw him under tower, he will just disable it. Usually after I toss him under tower, I back off, wait for my turret to turn back on, then W back to safety. You basically have almost no chance to win this lane. Do not try to trade, do not get greedy for farm, just focus on staying alive.”

zwartebliksem says “Flash + Ignite Volibear really wants to get extended trades, where he can heal his full hp bar with 1 W. So our plan is simple, short trades only. If you do a short trade, Volibear will usually click his Q instantly for the stun. So make sure to use your E preamptively. This way, you can dodge his E, even when you're stunned. You can trade 2 ways into Volibear, a short trade and an extended trade. When you trade short, make sure either his E is down or you have your own E up. I would only recommend extending the trade when ahead, you have no mark at that moment and you have about 25% more health.”

Inting Briar says “Don't be in that circle when it goes up. Great heals against you. Play very carefully. Will dive you under tower.”

TemoOnlyIfOK says “Frequency: 4.5/10 Annoyance: 3/10 Difficulty: 3.5/10 Summs: FLASH TP Runes: DAMAGE O2: YES Strat: Hold your Q for his Q, it does nothing to his W. Watch out for his passive, as it can disable your W. Th damage is so low however, it can heal you with SECOND WIND + DORAN SHIELD One of the few champs that can do a low risk turret dive on Teemo in a 2v1. If you dont let him hit his empowered W on you, he will not heal.”

asuratop1 says “Ritmo Fatal sempre, Ignite é otimo para snowballar mas Tp é prioridade sempre. (Doran Shield) É uma lane tranquila, basta guardar seu E pra counterar o Q/W do Voli, principalmente o Q ou o W2, já que ele vai usar o Q pra acertar o E que te dá muito dano, ou usar o W2 pra curar e dar dano bônus, não deixe isso acontecer. Desvie do E/R dele sempre. A única forma do Volibear ganhar de você, é fazendo Navori de Segundo item, você PRECISA ter Navori pra dar match nisso e não deixar que ele volte pro jogo na side-lane. Build: Trinity > Navori > Céu/Shojin (cdr/tabi/mercury são viáveis nesse lane)”
zwartebliksem says “Volibear can duel anybody who gets into range, so don't get into range!!! His Q stun will be reset if interrupted, meaning he can keep running you down. Look for a good E to avoid being stunned. Volibear can easily dive you post 6, due to his ultimate disabling turrets, so look to avoid this scenario by freezing waves or ulting out if you feel like they will dive you.”

forsakn says “ Levels 1–5: Volibear’s early trades with Q (Thundering Smash) + autos are strong. His E (Sky Splitter) slows and damages, making short trades tricky. Avoid extended fights and don’t overcommit near minions. Wave control: Let him push. Freeze near tower to reduce all-in threat and stay safe. Trading: Short trades with Auto + E poke work best. If he tries to all-in with full combo, kite backwards and use Q + W to poke from range. Post-6: His R (Stormbringer) allows him to dive and knock you up, making extended trades very risky. Maintain spacing and avoid solo fights. Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Ignite can help if he dives aggressively. Scaling: You outscale Volibear mid-late game. Once you hit level 11 with core items, your sustained damage and kiting surpass his early dueling power, letting you trade safely and pressure objectives. Volibear top hits hard early with engage and AoE. Respect his Q + E + R, stay patient, and by midgame your range and consistent damage put you in control.”

Amothertruckingunicorn says “Very good diver and unstoppable r but oblivion orb kind of owns him. ”

Hazardist says “[[volibear]] is a stronger stat-checker than you are for the most part of the game, both in duels and teamfights. For this matchup, you will have to more carefully and never overstep into the [[Jungle]] if your laners don't have prio and you don't have visual confirmation on [[volibear]], but in the mid and late game you should switch this up and be the one to start fights, unless the enemy team is clearly ahead, since his engages are stronger than yours.”
MiniBlue says “An extreme threat, do not fight against Volibear, he has a great early and strong duel.”
Wizarudo says “You can sustain and pivot but this bear can outsustain you and out damage you (Then why picking poppy) Due to utility and can fend yourself better if losing, or at least have the chance”

ludenbergangel says “Not worth 1v1ing him unless he's behind or you land your R on him. E him away if he Rs on you. Mercs are nice”
Perkzaholic says “Overtuned swine champ that can itemize against you a lot, I really don't see an avenue where you have a lead and want to 1v1 this cahracter He will lock you in place and take your candy like his name's randy”
EddeEken says “He wins 1v1s pre-6; after that, dodge his stun and shred him with true damage once you have attack speed items”

Arctic Arrow says “Volibear is one of those matchups that looks scary because of how hard he hits early, but in reality, you control the pace if you play around his cooldowns. His whole kit revolves around the W heal reset and his shield windows — if you avoid trading during those, he runs out of gas fast. 🧠 Gameplan Summary ✅ WQ–Auto–W2 is your bread-and-butter. If you hit that clean, take the chunk and reset — don’t overchase. ⚠️ Never fight on his W timer — that ability lets him heal endlessly if you let him chain it. ✅ If you predict his R, you can counter with your own R as he lands for a clean punish. ⚠️ He’ll try to E → W → Q → W you while kiting around. Don’t fall for it — once those are down, you win every fight. ✅ If you force him to panic-ult defensively, he’s basically out of the fight. The only way you lose this matchup is by playing on his rhythm instead of your own. Make him waste cooldowns, re-engage after his W and E, and you’ll shred him every single time.”
