How to win the jungle race as Briar against Udyr · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Briar's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Udyr.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Respect Udyr | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, and Briar has no clean answer to it at the first buff — Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. Pre-position toward your tier-two side and dodge the first stun engage, and give up your opening camps rather than the kill. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Respect Udyr | The window on the second camp belongs to Udyr: Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight. Your own line is real — Blood Frenzy sustain turns level-2 skirmishes into races she usually wins — but it arrives second here. Pre-position toward your tier-two side and dodge the first stun engage, then refuse the level-2 skirmish. |
| Level 3 Route | Respect Udyr | At level 3 this window belongs to Udyr: four stance points are online and their awakened trades hit their hardest window, and Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. Pre-position toward your tier-two side and dodge the first stun engage. Give up the level-3 river fight and bank tempo on the opposite side of the map. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Respect Udyr — Path Opposite | Do not trade windows with Udyr here: he farms 4-5 at speed and takes any fight near a wall, since Blazing Stampede needs only a straight line. Path opposite, keep your entrances warded, and answer the map, not the champion. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Udyr's R | Udyr wins the breakpoint outright — awakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates, and 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, then trade objectives cross-map until your items land. |
| First Item Spike | Sundered Sky / Eclipse Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage and sustained fighting multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Udyr's first item is where the awakened stance rotations stop being a heavy trade and start being a kill. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Even Scaling — Prep Decides | Neither of you out-scales the other. He is an awakened-stance brawler with sustain, damage and a stun on a short timer, so the late game is decided by who starts the fight, not who wins the stat sheet. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff camp utilizing your W frenzy to maximize early clear speed and sustain. Udyr clears extremely fast with stance swaps and shields himself through it, so he is rarely below full health.
