How to win the jungle race as Udyr against Master Yi · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Master Yi.
| 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 Alpha Strike untargetability dodges your key spell and Wuju true damage wins long trades. 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 Master Yi concedes. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Udyr Dominant | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, while Wuju Style helps the clear more than the duel. 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. Meditate buys time but wins nothing, and as the first scuttle timer lands that is not an answer. Take the level-3 river fight and make Master Yi path away from the camps you want. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Udyr Favoured — Take Duels | Through levels 4-5 you remain the stronger duelist — keep taking short, decisive trades vs Master Yi, but only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Yi's R | Master Yi wins the breakpoint outright — Highlander's slow immunity plus Alpha resets snowball any post-6 cleanup, and Highlander makes him un-kitable and every takedown resets the chase. Hard CC is the only answer — chain stuns or do not take the post-6 fight, then trade objectives cross-map until your items land. |
| 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. Master Yi's first item is the start of the curve rather than a spike — his real jump is the second and third. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Danger — Master Yi Outscales | Every minute past 25 tilts toward Master Yi — he is the strongest 1v1 in the game and hard CC is the only answer left. Force your win condition early or watch it slip away slowly. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff, stance-dancing Wilding Claw (Q) and Iron Mantle (W) for damage and sustain — Wingborne Storm (R) is your ultimate and isn't available at level 1. Master Yi clears very fast with Alpha Strike and Wuju Style, and he will be a level ahead if nobody interrupts him.
