Volibear vs Illaoi in Top lane is a lane that swings with levels on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: after 6 with her ult up, a single E one-taps you — landing it loses you the fight. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Never eat her E

After 6 with ult up, if she hits E you run — even 2/3 kills up she annihilates you; if she misses it, you're fine.

Force her ult

Go in and trade to force her ult — if she doesn't use it, you win the trade most of the time, then re-engage.

Dip until items

Until you have Rod of Ages and Navori, dip in and out of fights instead of committing.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never eat her E after 6 while she has ult up — even fed, she straight up one-taps you.
