How to win the jungle race as Udyr against Ivern · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Ivern.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Udyr Dominant | A double stance point gives an instant trade pattern most junglers can't answer. Friend of the Forest farms without fighting, and before either of you has a second camp down that is not an answer. Take the level-1 crossing and make Ivern path away from the camps you want. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Udyr Dominant | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight. There is no version of this Ivern wins right now — Brushmaker poke from their own brush is their only legal trade, and that folds on the second camp. Show on their side of the river and take 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. Later in the game this bites, because he won't fight you — but a Triggerseed root into his laner's follow-up will. But as the first scuttle timer lands none of it is online, so take the level-3 river fight and tax every camp Ivern concedes. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Udyr Dominant — Keep Fighting | Nothing about 4-5 helps Ivern here: he spends 4-5 marking camps for a laner and setting Brushmaker vision rather than fighting, while you can take any duel you can reach. Invade on the clear-timer, not on a whim. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Stance Mastery Favoured | Awakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates, while Daisy! adds a knock-up frontline to their poke-and-root game. You win the breakpoint against Ivern, not the whole game — cash it 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. Ivern's first item mostly buys shield strength and cooldowns — his spike is what his carry does, not what he does. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Udyr Favoured at Full Build | Two items on, the edge is yours. The one thing to plan around is that he is a shield-and-root support, with Daisy as the only real body he brings — take that away and the fight is a formality. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff utilizing Wingborne Storm (R) to maximize early clear speed. Ivern clears without fighting at all — Friend of the Forest frees camps on a timer, so his level and gold are always on schedule.
