How to win the jungle race as Udyr against Ekko · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Ekko.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Udyr Dominant | A double stance point gives an instant trade pattern most junglers can't answer. Later in the game this bites, because a triggered Parallel Convergence stun into passive burst is his entire kill script. But before either of you has a second camp down none of it is online, so take the level-1 crossing and tax every camp Ekko concedes. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Udyr Dominant | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, while Phase Dive hit-and-run trades are decent. Only one of those wins on the second camp, so press it: take the level-2 skirmish, then leave with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it. |
| Level 3 Route | Udyr Dominant | Four stance points are online and your awakened trades hit their hardest window. Parallel Convergence stun setups give them their first real pick threat, and as the first scuttle timer lands that is not an answer. Take the level-3 river fight and make Ekko path away from the camps you want. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Udyr Dominant — Keep Fighting | Levels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Ekko, and he uses 4-5 to plant Parallel Convergence in a lane bush; the stun is the gank and the clear is filler. Sit in their river, take both scuttles, and tax the camps they concede. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Stance Mastery Favoured | Awakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates. You win the breakpoint against Ekko, not the whole game — cash the advantage on the first objective after both sides hit six. |
| 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. Ekko's first item is the point where his dive stops being a trade and becomes a kill, with the rewind as insurance. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Respect Ekko Late — End Early | Ekko 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 Red Buff utilizing Wingborne Storm (R) to maximize early clear speed. Ekko clears at a fair pace with Timewinder and passive procs, but he takes real damage doing it before level four.
