How to win the jungle race as Udyr against Shaco · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Shaco.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Udyr Favoured | A double stance point gives an instant trade pattern most junglers can't answer. Pre-placed Jack in the Boxes turn their level-1 'duel' into a 3-versus-1, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-1 crossing only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Udyr Favoured | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, but Deceive's backstab plus box damage wins any fight near their stacked bushes. You still win the straight exchange on the second camp; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Level 3 Route | Udyr Favoured | Four stance points are online and your awakened trades hit their hardest window. Shaco can make it awkward — stacked Jack in the Boxes plus a Deceive backstab make bush fights unwinnable — 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 Macro | Udyr Favoured — Take Duels | You hold the edge at 4-5, not a blowout. He spends 4-5 boxing his own entrances and invading with Deceive the moment you commit to a camp, so meet them where the camps are, not where their laners are. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Stance Mastery Favoured | Awakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates, while the Hallucinate clone bait eats their key cooldown and doubles their damage. You win the breakpoint against Shaco, 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. Shaco's first item is where the Deceive opener plus box damage becomes a one-rotation kill on squishier targets. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Udyr Favoured at Full Build | You are the better full-build side, narrowly. He is a box-and-clone pick threat who wins on confusion rather than on stats, so take the duel with cooldowns up and never mid-rotation. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff utilizing Wingborne Storm (R) to maximize early clear speed. Shaco clears very fast with boxes pre-placed, and the first clear is usually finished before you have seen him once.
