Video Comprehensive reworked Udyr guide from Challenger player.

183 Upvotes

Link to Udyr Guide (YouTube)

Hey guys I'm Udysof a Challenger player and Coach of Pentanet. I've played at world's and last year I coached at MSI. I've done a lot of research on the new Udyr and I think there are a lot of misleading click bait bandwagon videos on YouTube right now, so I've compiled all my learnings into this one guide and I hope it can help some of you! My sources: kr/na/euw highelo Udyr one tricks, pro players, I play tested him in 15 Smurf games(plat elo) and 5 high elo games(masters/gm).

As I was making the video the Q buffs came in so I'm still testing those to see how good AD-tank Udyr is. From my findings so far it's still not as good as the AP-Tank build in my video.

I'm still trying to find how to optimise my W awaken usage in teamfights and skirmishes, I think the ability is strong but it will take a lot of play testing to master it's limits. So if you guys see cool clips of it being used feel free to share them with me as it will help me and others here!

Finally, if you guys have any questions for me please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always happy to help :)

Edit: forgot to mention this video is geared around Jungle Udyr.

Was placed in silver at the start of the season (OCE). Started with liandrys tank udyr, then pta shojin hexplate, experimented with protobelt zhonya ap builds, then landed on stormraiders shojin deaths dance. Snuck into winners queue and hit a 13 winstreak to land in diamond. gg

1432LP gained with udyr.

I set myself this challenge over a year ago, and things usually go well, but I’m not sure what to do when the bot and top lanes are heavily "trolling." Any advice on how to carry them with this build?

Help Finding Udyrs "rhythm"

1 Upvotes

I main Briar and Shyvana, both junglers that farm well and invade/duel well. I wanted to expand my pool so I gave Udyr a try for a few games.

He definitely fits my playstyle well and has a lot of tools, but I've found him mechanically exhausting which is taking away from my macro.

How critical is it to get into a rhythm to optimise Udyrs attacks and stance changes? I find I'm looking at my cooldown bar a lot during jungle camps trying to optimise, or losing the rhythm and being half a cooldown off and cycling 4 skills instead of 3. Also as Udyr gets more AS from Q skillups and items (triforce etc) I find that in fights I end up button mashing and missing some of the second autos.

Does it get mechanically easier after a while for Udyr, or am I overthinking how important it is to optimise the micro?

(Fun side note for older players, if anyone remembers Bards in the original Everquest there was a technique called twisting to keep multiple buff stacks up. Udyr feels like that, but without the dial-up speed latency)

Help Curious if Udyr is worth maining?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a champ who plays a bit aggressively, can take a punch and give it back. I know he might not be great against ranged matchups but seems to have an answer for it in his ult? Someone who bullies enemies not just in lane. One who is also a good team fighter. My original thinking was Renekton or K’Sante but seems K’Sante isn’t a great option. Would Udyr be a good option for this?

Discussion Build Questions

3 Upvotes

I've been maining Udyr jungle for a while now and I think he's pretty busted but outside of the generic build guides, I have no clue how others play this champ since he's just so versatile.

Questions are as follows:

#1 - what skin do you guys run?

#2 - do you usually build AD/ AP or Hybrid?

#3 - bruiser build or max damage?

#4 - what skill order are you usually maxing in?

#5 - does anybody have niche tips on interactions?

#6 - who do you think is his worst counter

#7 - what runes do you usually run?

Ill go first:

1 - Dragon Oracle

2 - Depends but usually Hybrid

3 - Bruiser, usually shojin > liandry > DD > spirit vis.

4 - Q > E > W> R

5 - I don't have any

6 - Haven't really found one but I think Shyv is my worst

7 - Conq into beefy comps and PTA into squishys

Possibly contender for single best item for Udyr, getting 2 stacks per Q auto is just wild, it sets up for insta kill with awakened Q almost every time.

Help Udyr - Serious disscusion about importance of character

0 Upvotes

ive beeen maining udyr for the past 6 years and after all this time i finally accepted that Udyr is probably shittest most usless character of all time before and after rework. I Believe that udyr should be replaced with some hot bae like nidalee or tahm kench. i dont even want to play it anymore, now i prefer more skillful characters like Mel or Rammus. I am trully sad that yall didnt wake up yet but its okay may the divine light shine upon you. When my eyes rest in the endless light yours would be covered by darkness.

Discussion Classic Udyr Builds

5 Upvotes

Given Phreak’s latest Classic update (https://youtu.be/MC0hzSndOUU) my guess is that Udyr will finally be joining Classic with a month or two.

Given the items and runes that currently exist in League Classic, how will we be playing him? with ZzRot recently added, I’ve been theory crafting a John Dyr classic style build for top or jungle.

What do you all think? AD Godyr Feral Flare? AP Bruiser Flame Pop? Double Dot AD Top? What will be good?

Discussion can you climb with udyr

1 Upvotes

hello everyone !

I mained ad udyr for sometime now maybe a year and I find him the most fun champion to play but its been so long since I managed to climb with him
I am sliver currently and I cant carry with him even if I have 5/0 early game I just feel like the game slip from my hand
I cant really team fight without losing all my health instantly and in the end game I feel like I am just useless
I want to ask you guys do you play other champion or should I continue to one trick udyr and do you really can climb to high elo with udyr

Discussion Udyr alternatives ?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I very much like playing Udyr Jungle and would like to discover new similar champs.
I'm an Iron player, so I'm not really looking for building an optimal champion pool I just don't want to OTP.
I've already played Volibear before, but I just feel like he is so much squishier and slower. And teamfights feel bad with the bear whereas I enjoy teamfighting with Udyr.
I also don't really know if Udyr has notably bad matchups, but if he does I would like to learn about those.

If it may help, here's what I like about Udyr :

  1. fast clear
  2. independant
  3. moves quickly around the map (and when catching up with enemies)
  4. easily useful in teamfights

Wouldn’t it be nice is switching stances reset you aa’s so you can do more with the stun. Just a thought.

Discussion Topdyr as a blind pick?

6 Upvotes

Thoughts about this. I'm mid Emerald right now and trying to get to Diamond. My main is Gangplank but I have come to the realization is that I will probably never be good enough at GP to blind him into his bad matchups like Irelia, Jayce, Kled, or Cho, or Gwen. I've played Udyr a fair bit before when he was really OP and I do enjoy his kit a lot. Just wondering what's strong because I've played him in ranked a little but always feel weak.

How does topdyr scale? I feel his dueling is relatively weaker than most other actual 1v1 top laners. Is it worth trying to use him as a blind pick?

Discussion Udyr Gets 0 Love

After being a one trick pony Udyr and struggling to diamond, I've started to play tank top champions/meta and went from struggling emerald 1 diamond 3 over 5 times, into breezing through to d2.

Udyr top especially sucks and provides little to no value for rhe team when compared to other meta tops. So we have to excel in lane, then play the map better than other tops, and play a version of the games others do not understand.

The good thing is, because the average Udyr main has a higher IQ than most league players, we can climb much easier when we play meta champions.

We also deserve more skins and a rework for all the meta champs now.

I was thinking how little I use empowered E compared to the other abilities and thought: wouldn't it be a cool buff to make it go through walls for the 1.5 second boost. Like Kayn or smolder E.

What do you think?
