How to win the jungle race as Rammus against Udyr · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Rammus's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Udyr.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Do not be seen at the first buff: 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. Skip the level-1 crossing and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Danger — Avoid Udyr | Hard no-contest for Rammus at level 2: 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. 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. |
| Level 3 Route | Respect Udyr | Blazing Stampede's stun-lock into awakened stance damage runs you down in a straight line — Rammus has no answer to that at level 3. Four stance points are online and their awakened trades hit their hardest window on their half of the map too, so give up the level-3 river fight and answer the pressure cross-map. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Even — Farm & Track | Levels 4-5 are a stalemate vs Udyr — match their clear speed, keep river vision, and bank gold for the level-6 window instead of coin-flipping. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Soaring Slam Favoured | Soaring Slam adds engage range to the taunt-and-thornmail kit autos still cannot solve. Awakened Blazing Stampede chains stuns faster than your cooldowns recover — respect that one window, but the six-spike comparison favors you: take the post-6 duel whenever HP bars start even. |
| First Item Spike | Thornmail / Sunfire Aegis Spike | Completing Thornmail or Sunfire Aegis stacks damage reflection or a constant area burn on top of Defensive Ball Curl (W), which completely overpowers traditional physical brawlers in extended fights. 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 your clear at the Raptors or Wolves camp, rolling Powerball (Q) through the pack to hit multiple monsters at once while Defensive Ball Curl (W) reflects their damage back for sustain. Udyr clears extremely fast with stance swaps and shields himself through it, so he is rarely below full health.
