Vi vs Volibear

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Vi's high early pressure and efficient clear let her contest river and force picks before Volibear can leverage his durable brawler strength.
Prioritize ganks on lanes with flash down to maximize (R) lockdown impact and deny Volibear tempo and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes where (Q) can reliably connect to force flash and secure early kills before Volibear hits level 6.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald when lane priority and vision deny Volibear safe access, using (R) lockdown to secure objectives.
Track Volibear's jungle routes to counter-gank his early river dives and punish his reliance on repeated (W) trades.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun availability and avoid engaging when it is off cooldown to prevent being locked down.
Avoid isolated river fights early where Volibear's durable brawling and healing from (W) can overwhelm Vi.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority, as (R) allows tower dives and durable engages under turret.

Early game

Opt for a three-camp clear if early gank opportunities arise on lanes with good follow-up to pressure Volibear's pathing.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Volibear's strong counter-gank potential.
Avoid extended early invades without lane priority, as Volibear's sustain and stun make direct fights risky.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Vi's (R) lockdown, enabling guaranteed picks and objective control; use this to force fights before Volibear's durability peaks.
Volibear's level 3 completes his full ability combo, increasing his dueling threat; avoid isolated fights unless (Q) is ready.
First bruiser or tank item on Volibear enhances his sustain and fight endurance; pressure him before this timing to deny scaling.

Win conditions

Use efficient clears and early ganks to create health leads and force Volibear off camps, denying him scaling and tempo.
Convert (R) lockdown picks into dragon and Rift Herald control by securing vision and coordinating with lanes holding priority.
Counter-gank Volibear's early river pressure by tracking his pathing and punishing overextensions to maintain objective dominance.
