How to win the jungle race as Gragas against Udyr · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Gragas'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 Gragas 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 | Do not be seen by Udyr at levels 4-5 — you lose every exchange. Full-clear away from them, ward your entrances, and trade map pressure, not HP. |
| 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 Explosive Cask to equalize rather than to open. |
| First Item Spike | Tank Item Spike | First tank item online, your trades become rude: drink, slam, barrel, and walk away healthier than the exchange deserved. Camp clears speed up enough to full-clear into every objective spawn. Force river fights where the cask has walls to play with. Udyr's first item is where the awakened stance rotations stop being a heavy trade and start being a kill. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Respect Udyr Late — End Early | Udyr out-stats you from two items on — stop taking straight 1v1s, close through objectives and picks, and keep the game on a clock. |
Start either buff and lean on Q-W sustain — you need no leash and end healthy. Watch Udyr's entry side from leashes; you can shade toward them for a level-3 slam ambush if their clear runs low. Udyr clears extremely fast with stance swaps and shields himself through it, so he is rarely below full health.
