Udyr Tips and Tricks
When playing Udyr, use your W for early sustain and trading. If you’re facing a poke-heavy lane, avoid overextending and wait for opportunities to all-in when your abilities are up. Be sure to position yourself properly when using your R for maximum uptime and crowd control. During the mid-game, focus on objectives and split-pushing, making sure to apply constant pressure to the enemy. If you’re behind, prioritize staying safe, farming, and scaling into the late game.
The Best Udyr Builds, Runes and Items for Top

For a standard Udyr setup, take Ghost and Teleport as your Summoner Spells. Use Grasp of the Undying as your keystone, with Shield Bash, Second Wind, and Revitalize in the primary tree. In the secondary tree, pick Biscuit Delivery and Approach Velocity. For rune shards, take Adaptive Force in offense, Adaptive Force in flex, and Health Scaling in defense. Start with Unending Despair, then build Plated Steelcaps and Winter's Approach. Complete your build with Spirit Visage, Thornmail, and Frozen Heart. Max your abilities in the order W - E - Q.
Situational Udyr Runes and Items
Adjust your build depending on the enemy team composition, lane matchup, and game state. Consider taking Armor or Magic Resist rune shards based on your opponent. Additionally, think about switching up your item choices to adapt to the situation, such as prioritizing tankier items against heavy AD or AP damage dealers.
