The jungle race — the windows in Udyr's plan

Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Rek'Sai.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearUdyr FavouredA double stance point gives an instant trade pattern most junglers can't answer. Fury-fueled Q autos clear fast and win the first raptor fight, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-1 crossing only with the HP and cooldown lead.
Level 2 SkirmishUdyr FavouredBlazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, but the Unburrow knock-up gives a free engage on anyone walking their tunnels. You still win the straight exchange on the second camp; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours.
Level 3 RouteUdyr FavouredFour stance points are online and your awakened trades hit their hardest window. Rek'Sai can make it awkward — an Unburrow knock-up from an unseen tunnel starts every fight on her terms — but not as the first scuttle timer lands. Trade, then walk away with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroUdyr Favoured — Take DuelsYou hold the edge at 4-5, not a blowout. He builds a tunnel network through 4-5 that lets him arrive in a lane from an unwarded direction, so meet them where the camps are, not where their laners are.
Level 6 BreakpointStance Mastery FavouredAwakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates, while Void Rush executes anyone they have prey-marked. You win the breakpoint against Rek'Sai, not the whole game — cash it on the first objective after both sides hit six.
First Item SpikeTrinity / Liandry SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive damage and clear speed multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Rek'Sai's first item is a real jump in duel power, but it is also close to the end of her scaling curve.
2+ Items ScalingUdyr Favoured — Wins LateFrom two items you out-scale Rek'Sai. He executes anything below the Void Rush threshold from across the map, but none of that beats your full build in a straight fight.

How to beat Rek'Sai as Udyr: the first clear and pathing

Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff, opening in Wilding Claw (Q) for the on-hit attack speed since Wingborne Storm (R) is not available until level 6. Rek'Sai clears fast on Fury-fuelled attacks and Furious Bite, and her tunnels make her map speed better than her clear suggests.
