How to win the jungle race as Udyr against Briar · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Briar.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Udyr Favoured | A double stance point gives an instant trade pattern most junglers can't answer. Briar can make it awkward — Blood Frenzy lifesteal out-heals your full combo once she commits — but not before either of you has a second camp down. Trade, then walk away with a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Udyr Favoured | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight. The margin is thin: Blood Frenzy sustain turns level-2 skirmishes into races she usually wins, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Disengage cleanly or finish her — half-measures just feed her frenzy healing. |
| Level 3 Route | Udyr Favoured | Four stance points are online and your awakened trades hit their hardest window. Frenzy healing plus charged Chilling Scream is one of the hardest level-3 all-ins, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-3 river fight only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Udyr Favoured — Take Duels | Through levels 4-5 you remain the stronger duelist — keep taking short, decisive trades vs Briar, but only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Stance Mastery Favoured | Awakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates. Briar's six is not empty — Certain Death locks onto you from across the screen with a self-fearing all-in. Take the duel from even health rather than from behind, and peel her with CC mid-frenzy — she cannot disengage her own ultimate. |
| First Item Spike | Trinity / Liandry Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive damage and clear speed multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Briar's first item is a step change: the frenzy lifesteal starts out-healing full combos rather than just chip damage. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Even Scaling — Prep Decides | Both kits pay off at 2+ items — late fights vs Briar come down to who enters with cooldowns, vision, and numbers. Win with setup, not stats. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff utilizing Wingborne Storm (R) to maximize early clear speed. Briar clears fast and healthy because Blood Frenzy heals her through the camps, so she is usually first to the river.
