The Volibear versus Briar matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Volibear deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Briar deals mainly physical damage (72.55%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Volibear is higher farming statistics (ranked 9th among role champions) (versus 25th for Briar), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.7) 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 Volibear player to maintain constant pressure on Briar, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
