How to win the jungle race as Udyr against Gragas · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Gragas.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Udyr Dominant | A double stance point gives an instant trade pattern most junglers can't answer, while Barrel Roll poke plus passive sustain wins the slow first trade. Only one of those wins at the first buff, so press it: take the level-1 crossing, then leave with a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Udyr Dominant | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight. Drunken Rage damage reduction makes their short trades strictly efficient, and with one camp still up on both sides that is not an answer. Take the level-2 skirmish and make Gragas path away from the camps you want. |
| Level 3 Route | Udyr Dominant | Four stance points are online and your awakened trades hit their hardest window. There is no version of this Gragas wins right now — the Body Slam stun engage completes a surprisingly strong early brawl kit, and that folds at the opening scuttle. Show on their side of the river and take the first scuttle and the gank window behind it. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Udyr Dominant — Keep Fighting | Levels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Gragas, and he plays 4-5 around Body Slam angles into lanes, softening with Barrel Roll before the engage. 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. A Cask knock-back separates you from the objective at the worst possible moment — respect that one window, but the six-spike comparison favors you: take the post-6 duel whenever HP bars start even. |
| 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. Gragas' first item makes the Barrel Roll into Body Slam combo a real chunk instead of a nuisance, on a short cooldown. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Udyr Favoured at Full Build | Full-build math leans your way: extended fights and side-lane duels favor you over Gragas — make late fights about 1v1s, not coin-flips. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff utilizing Wingborne Storm (R) to maximize early clear speed. Gragas clears comfortably off Barrel Roll and Happy Hour sustain, and he reaches the river with health to spend.
