Diana vs Volibear

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize clean, fast clears to hit level 6 before Volibear can force early river fights.
Avoid early fights unless your lanes have priority to follow up on counter-ganks or invades.
Use your mid-game scaling and burst to pressure objectives and force Volibear off key camps.

Jungle Plan

Path for efficient clears toward mid and enemy jungle camps after level 6 to leverage your burst and objective control.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald only when you have lane priority or after landing your (R) for multi-target impact.
Track Volibear's pathing to counter-gank his early dives and punish cooldowns post-(Q) and (E) usage.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Volibear can invade or counter-gank with his stun (Q).
Respect (Q) stun and second (W) heal timing in extended fights; do not overcommit without your (E) reset available.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Volibear has priority or (R) ready, as he can force dives under turret.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward a safe reset to secure level 3 power spike before contesting.
Only contest first Scuttle Crab if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Volibear's strong early dueling and invade potential.
Avoid early river skirmishes unless you have vision and lane support to counter Volibear's high early pressure.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (Q)+(W)+(E) combo with dash reset and shield; use this to trade or force skirmishes when safe.
Level 6 (R) grants strong all-in and objective fight presence; use it to initiate or disengage from Volibear's dives.
Volibear's level 6 (R) dive threat requires you to respect tower defense and avoid low-health wave fights.

Win conditions

Use your faster clear and burst combo to reach level 6 first and pressure objectives with your ultimate.
Punish Volibear's engage cooldowns by counter-ganking and invading his jungle when he overextends.
Leverage your mid-game scaling and teamfight (R) to secure dragons and Rift Herald, denying Volibear tempo and forcing fights on your terms.
