How to win the jungle race as Master Yi against Udyr · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Master Yi's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Udyr.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Udyr out-classes you at the first buff — 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. Skip the level-1 crossing, full-clear away from them, and trade map pressure instead of health. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Do not be seen on the second camp: Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line. On top of that, Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, so they get there first. Pre-position toward your tier-two side and dodge the first stun engage. Refuse the level-2 skirmish and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands. |
| Level 3 Route | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Hard no-contest for Master Yi at level 3: 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. Path opposite, ward your entrances, and let the clock carry you to your own spike. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Respect Udyr — Path Opposite | Levels 4-5 still belong to Udyr in a straight fight — farm the opposite side, answer their ganks cross-map, and wait for your spike. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Highlander Favoured | Highlander's slow immunity plus Alpha resets snowball any post-6 cleanup. Udyr's six is not empty — awakened Blazing Stampede chains stuns faster than your cooldowns recover. Take the duel from even health rather than from behind, and break the chase with walls — his power is point-blank and he cannot force the fight. |
| First Item Spike | Kraken Slayer Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage, attack speed, and on-hit 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 | Master Yi Favoured — Wins Late | Udyr falls off relative to you — from two items on you win the raw stat check, even though he is an awakened-stance brawler with sustain, damage and a stun on a short timer. Drag the game long and force the 1v1s. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health sustain and red buff true damage. Udyr clears extremely fast with stance swaps and shields himself through it, so he is rarely below full health.
