How to beat Udyr

Common role: Jungle / Top

A stance-shifting bruiser with strong sustain and a point-click stun.

What makes Udyr dangerous

Udyr cycles four stances — a damage-over-time claw (Q), a defensive shield (W), a bear stance that grants move speed and a point-blank stun (E), and a phoenix AoE burst (R). Awakening a stance twice empowers it. He sticks to a target, stuns them and grinds them down with sustain.

How to play against Udyr

• 1Kite his bear stance — he needs to reach you to stun, so use range and slows.
• 2Bring Grievous Wounds; his turtle stance sustains him through trades.
• 3He has no ranged threat — poke him down before he closes the gap.
• 4Save your dash/Flash for his stun; once E is used you have a window.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Limited gap-close outside of bear move speed — kite him.
• ✓Grievous Wounds cripples his turtle sustain.
• ✓No ranged poke; he must commit to reach you.
• ✓Predictable stun timing you can juke.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Udyr's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  精霊の繋ぎ手

  4つの通常スキルで「型」を切り替え、スキルを再発動すると「型」がリフレッシュされて究極の効果を得る。さらに、スキル使用後、次の2回の通常攻撃の攻撃速度が増加する。

  Strong: awakening a stance twice empowers it with bonus effects. Weak: he can only empower one stance at a time — read which he's committing to.

• Q
  野性の爪

  攻撃速度が増加し、次の2回の通常攻撃が追加物理ダメージを与える。再発動: 攻撃速度がさらに増加し、次の2回の通常攻撃が対象に電撃を放つようになる。

  Strong: tiger stance stacks heavy damage-over-time. Weak: melee only — kite him and the DoT never applies.

• W
  鉄の外皮

  シールドを獲得し、次の2回の通常攻撃で自身の体力を回復する。再発動: より耐久値の高いシールドを獲得し、数秒間かけて最大体力の一定割合を回復する。

  Strong: turtle stance shields and sustains him through poke. Weak: Grievous Wounds guts its healing.

• E
  焔の猛進

  移動速度が増加し、各対象への最初の通常攻撃が対象をスタンさせる。再発動: 少しの間、移動速度がさらに増加し、移動不能効果を受けなくなる。

  Strong: bear stance grants move speed and a point-blank stun to stick to you. Weak: he needs to reach you — save your dash for the stun.

• R
  氷翼の嵐

  極寒の嵐に身を包み、周囲の敵にダメージとスロウ効果を与える。再発動: 嵐を強化して解き放ち、敵を追跡させて追加ダメージを与える。

  Strong: phoenix stance adds AoE burst around him in fights. Weak: short range — spacing keeps you out of the burn.

Itemization

Grievous Wounds and kiting tools win. Range, slows and disengage keep him off you; save mobility for his bear-stance stun.
