While statistically Graves is slightly stronger than Volibear in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Graves deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Volibear has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Graves is higher farming statistics (ranked 22nd among role champions) (versus 40th for Volibear), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Graves player to maintain constant pressure on Volibear, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
