Volibear vs Yone

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's early lane pressure to deny Yone a calm scaling lane and force health leads.
Prioritize aggressive trades and tower dive threats to prevent Yone from using his (E)+(Q) combo safely.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q) to stun Yone and place (E) to slow and shield yourself in the fight path.
Commit to second (W) hits to maximize healing and pressure, punishing Yone's limited disengage.
Avoid trading when (Q) is on cooldown or if you miss (E), as Yone can punish Volibear's reduced engage tools.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup and snapback as his main engage and disengage tool; avoid overextending when it's available.
Be cautious when (Q) third cast knockup and (R) displacement are up, as they can turn fights instantly.
Volibear is vulnerable after missing (Q) or (E), so avoid extended trades without these cooldowns.

Early game

Pressure the wave early to force Yone into passive farming and reduce his ability to stack (Q).
Use (Q) to initiate trades and follow with (E) and (W) to maximize healing and damage before Yone can snap back with (E).
Avoid extended chases that let Yone use (E) to escape and reposition.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q)+(W)+(E) combo to threaten brawls and force Yone to respect your engage.
At level 6, leverage (R) to dive under tower and force Yone off low-health waves.
After first bruiser or tank item, pressure trades and skirmishes confidently, using increased durability to outlast Yone's burst.

Win conditions

Use early lane pressure and repeated (W) trades to build health leads and force Yone into defensive play.
Convert level 6 into tower dive opportunities to deny Yone farm and force recalls.
Sustain through fights with (W) healing and (E) shield to win extended brawls and snowball the lane advantage.
