Fiddlesticks vs Volibear

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to reach level 6 before forcing fights against Volibear's early pressure.
Use vision control and fog of war to set up ambushes around dragon and Rift Herald entrances.
This is a scaling teamfight matchup where Fiddlesticks must avoid early duels and leverage ultimate engages post-level 6.

Jungle Plan

Clear camps efficiently while tracking Volibear's path to anticipate and avoid his early invades.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald only when vision denies Volibear's approach and lanes have priority.
Use post-level 6 ultimate to gank lanes from fog and convert tempo into objective control and vision denial.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights before level 6 when Volibear's early dueling and invade pressure is strongest.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Volibear has lane priority and can follow up with his (Q) stun and (R) tower dive.
Do not clear camps low health near enemy jungle entrances to prevent losing smite fights or being collapsed on.

Early game

Start with a full clear path to maximize level 6 timing and avoid early river skirmishes.
Only contest first Scuttle Crab if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid early invades and direct fights until ultimate is available and vision is secured.

Power spikes

Reach level 6 to unlock ultimate ambushes that can turn fights and force objectives.
Exploit Volibear's cooldowns after he uses (Q) to reduce his engage threat.
Respect Volibear's level 6 (R) dive threat and avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane support.

Win conditions

Power farm to level 6 quickly and deny Volibear vision around key objectives.
Use ultimate engages from fog to secure kills or force enemy recalls, enabling dragon or Rift Herald control.
Counter-jungle when Volibear commits to early dives or ganks, leveraging your superior clear speed and scaling impact.
