Level 1, pressure the bush, use Q and passive to poke, deny Volibear bush control.Use Grasp and Sheen Q to poke, freeze wave to prevent Volibear from pushing and recalling.After 6, Sheen damage falls off; watch out for Volibear's burst after his E lands.Mid-game, Sheen damage is diluted; avoid all-ins, use barrels to poke.In teamfights, position well, use ultimate to zone and protect backline.
