Udyr Jungle guide

Udyr jungle is a stance-swapping brawler: open with Wilding Claw (Q) for bonus attack speed and physical damage on his next two hits, weave in Blazing Stampede (E) to close distance and stun his first target, then Recast whichever stance the fight calls for instead of swapping again.

The build

Rune page: Press the Attack, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Approach Velocity (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order: Wilding Claw (Q), Wingborne Storm (R), Iron Mantle (W), Blazing Stampede (E), maxing Wilding Claw (Q) first, Blazing Stampede (E) second. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling, into Boots of Swiftness. Core build: Spear of Shojin, Experimental Hexplate, Death's Dance, then Liandry's Torment, Dead Man's Plate, and Spirit Visage later.

Ability mechanics

Bridge Between (passive) lets Udyr swap between four stances and Recast an ability to renew it with a stronger effect, speeding his next two attacks after every cast. Wilding Claw (Q) adds attack speed and bonus physical damage to his next two hits; its Recast calls lightning on those hits. Iron Mantle (W) shields him and heals off his next two attacks, growing into a bigger shield and a heal over time on Recast. Blazing Stampede (E) grants movement speed and stuns his first target, and its Recast adds immunity to immobilizing effects. Wingborne Storm (R) damages and slows nearby enemies; its Recast makes the storm track enemies for extra damage.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Jarvan IV, Sylas, Viego, Master Yi, Graves. Best matchups: Lee Sin, Nocturne, Kayn.
