Udyr Tips and Tricks

Udyr has strong objective control, so make sure to secure every Dragon when possible to increase your chances of winning. To make ganking easier, approach from behind and activate your E at the last possible second. Using it too early may cause the movement speed bonus and stun to expire before reaching the enemy, allowing them to escape. Udyr is a strong duelist and can take on most enemies in a one-on-one fight. If the opposing jungler has a weak early clear, look for opportunities to invade and gain an early lead.
