Volibear vs Anivia Matchup Summary

The Volibear vs Anivia matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Anivia wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Volibear's 44.4%, giving Anivia a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Volibear controls the early laning stage, but Anivia outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Volibear needs to press advantages before Anivia reaches their power spikes, while Anivia should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Anivia leads by 1.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Anivia has a strong advantage in this matchup. Volibear players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Anivia overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
