Use Volibear's early clear speed and dueling power to pressure Fiddlesticks before level 6 and contest river control aggressively.
Prioritize early skirmishes and invades when your lanes have priority to disrupt Fiddlesticks's slower farming and delay his level 6 spike.
Jungle Plan
Use your fast clear to pressure camps near lanes with priority and look for early invades to steal camps or force Fiddlesticks off his jungle.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle when your lanes can move first, leveraging your durability and stun to win skirmishes.
Track Fiddlesticks's pathing to counter-gank post-level 6 ganks and secure dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority and vision control.
Danger windows
Avoid fighting Fiddlesticks alone in river early before level 6 if lanes lack priority, risking being outnumbered or countered.
Be cautious contesting objectives when low on health or smite, as forced fights can turn against you.
Respect Fiddlesticks's level 6 ultimate and fog ambushes; do not take isolated jungle paths without vision post-6.
Early game
Start with a full clear to hit level 3 quickly and prepare for early river fights where your stun and shield give you an advantage.
Fight for first Scuttle when nearby lanes can move first to deny Fiddlesticks vision and control.
Avoid isolated fights early if lanes lack priority, as Fiddlesticks will evade direct confrontation before level 6.
Power spikes
Level 3 unlocks your full combo with stun, shield, and healing, enabling you to win early jungle duels and invade safely.
Level 6 grants (R) for tower dives and extended fights, increasing your gank threat and objective control; use this to force recalls and secure plates.
First bruiser or tank item boosts your durability, allowing sustained trades and objective fights where you can outlast Fiddlesticks.
Win conditions
Convert early jungle pressure and health leads into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes that have priority.
Use your strong dueling and gank threat to deny Fiddlesticks free farm and force him into reactive play.
Leverage level 6 dive potential and sustained fights to snowball lanes, secure objectives, and dictate mid-game tempo before Fiddlesticks scales.
