How to win the jungle race as Shyvana against Udyr · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Shyvana'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 Shyvana 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 | 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 | Dragon's Descent Favoured | Dragon's Descent is one of the biggest six spikes in the jungle — the farm machine just became a duelist. 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 | Spear of Shojin / Titanic Spike | Your first completed item pushes your damage and clear speed well past Udyr's, letting you clear both jungle halves faster and contest objective pits more aggressively. He can no longer win a straight river duel once you're a full item ahead. Udyr's first item is where the awakened stance rotations stop being a heavy trade and start being a kill. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Shyvana Favoured — Wins Late | From two items you out-scale Udyr. He is an awakened-stance brawler with sustain, damage and a stun on a short timer, but none of that beats your full build in a straight fight. |
Start your clear at the Raptor or Red Buff camp, using Inferno Aegis's delayed detonation to speed up the AoE portion of the camp. Track Udyr's opening camp choice so you know which side of the jungle he's clearing toward before you commit to a full loop. Udyr clears extremely fast with stance swaps and shields himself through it, so he is rarely below full health.
