Question 1

Beware her parry (W)

Accepted Answer

She parries your E and ult on reaction — both have a slow wind-up. A tight Q → R forces the ult damage through parry, unless she has heavy tenacity.

Question 2

Mind-game the Q

Accepted Answer

Don't Q the instant you're in range — every Volibear does, and she just parries and turns. Hold the Q to bait the parry, then commit.

Question 3

Max Q, not W

Accepted Answer

You can't max W here. Rank-1 Q is too slow to chase her Q-poke — maxing Q lets you run her down through her vital speed by rank 5.

Question 4

Your window

Accepted Answer

Your CDR spike (Cosmic Drive + Navori) is when you start to threaten her; at full build your shield is big enough to tank multiple vital procs if you space the fight cleanly.

Question 5

What should you never do as Volibear vs Fiora?

Accepted Answer

Never throw your Q the moment you reach her — that instinctive engage is the free parry she's waiting for.
