How to win the jungle race as Brand against Udyr · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Brand's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Udyr.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight on top of that, so level 1 is a straight stat check Brand loses — pre-position toward your tier-two side and dodge the first stun engage, and give the river vision-line respect. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Udyr out-classes you on the second camp — Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, and Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. Refuse the level-2 skirmish, full-clear away from them, and trade map pressure instead of health. |
| Level 3 Route | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Do not be seen at the opening scuttle: Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. On top of that, four stance points are online and their awakened trades hit their hardest window, so they get there first. Pre-position toward your tier-two side and dodge the first stun engage. Give up the level-3 river fight and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Udyr owns 4-5 outright. He farms 4-5 at speed and takes any fight near a wall, since Blazing Stampede needs only a straight line, so treat every crossing as theirs and take the camps they are furthest from. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Udyr's R | Awakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates, which is the whole problem: awakened Blazing Stampede chains stuns faster than your cooldowns recover. Break the chase with walls — his power is point-blank and he cannot force the fight, and spend Pyroclasm to equalize rather than to open. |
| First Item Spike | Liandry's Spike | Liandry's converts your Blaze uptime into percent-health melt that makes tanks regret existing. Your camp clear becomes one rotation per camp and your poke chunks become kill threats. Force Udyr to contest pits where your full rotation reaches the whole team. Udyr's first item is where the awakened stance rotations stop being a heavy trade and start being a kill. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Brand Favoured at Full Build | Two items on, the edge is yours. The one thing to plan around is that he is an awakened-stance brawler with sustain, damage and a stun on a short timer — take that away and the fight is a formality. |
Start the buff that chains into raptors — your E-W AoE wants the multi-camps early. Track Udyr's start through leashes and path away from their level-3 power window; your burn needs two more levels to argue back. Udyr clears extremely fast with stance swaps and shields himself through it, so he is rarely below full health.

Not exactly — Udyr pressures 5 of the 7 windows, so Brand is playing catch-up and has to lean on the map.
