Volibear vs Jayce

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's high early lane pressure and durable brawling to deny Jayce a calm scaling lane.
Prioritize forcing early health leads and controlling the wave to enable level 6 dive threat and extended trades.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) to stun and follow with (E) placed on Jayce's path to maximize slow and shield.
Commit to extended trades only if second (W) healing can be secured; otherwise, disengage before Jayce can retaliate.
Punish Jayce after he uses hammer form (Q) or misses empowered (Q) poke by forcing brawls with (Q) and (W).

Danger windows

Respect Jayce's empowered (Q) through (E) poke, which can chunk health and deny melee trades.
Be cautious when Jayce commits hammer form (Q) as it can finish low-health targets and knock back with (E).
Avoid extended trades if (Q) or (E) is missed, as Jayce can disengage and punish Volibear's cooldowns.

Early game

Aggressively engage with (Q) to force melee contact and start trades before Jayce can safely poke.
Use (E) to shield and slow Jayce when closing distance to prevent his disengage.
Avoid chasing through minion waves where (Q) cannot reach to maintain trade effectiveness.

Power spikes

At level 6, leverage (R) to dive Jayce under turret or force him off the wave with increased durability and damage.
After completing first bruiser or tank item, pressure trades and skirmishes to outlast Jayce's poke with repeat (W) healing.
Respect Jayce's first damage item spike as his poke becomes more punishing; avoid unnecessary trades when his empowered (Q) is available.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane pressure by forcing health leads with (Q) and (W) to enable level 6 dives with (R).
Deny Jayce scaling by controlling wave state and punishing his cooldowns to prevent safe farming.
Transition early advantages into durable engages or side-lane pressure leveraging Volibear's brawler identity and sustain.
