How to win the jungle race as Udyr against Talon · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Talon.
| 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 the Q-W bleed burst plus wall-hop angles start fights you never saw coming. 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 Talon concedes. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Udyr Dominant | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight, while Rake's return damage makes mid-range poke trades free for them. 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. Wall-hop pathing means they only pick fights when the numbers favor them, and as the first scuttle timer lands that is not an answer. Take the level-3 river fight and make Talon path away from the camps you want. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Udyr Dominant — Keep Fighting | Nothing about 4-5 helps Talon here: he wall-hops through 4-5 into lanes that have pushed, and the Rake slow closes every remaining gap, 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. Talon's six is not empty — the R stealth burst plus wall-hops mean the fight starts when he says it does. Take the duel from even health rather than from behind, and sweep your jungle entrances — his burst needs the surprise angle to kill clean. |
| 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. Talon's first item is the point where the bleed rotation goes from a heavy chunk to a full kill on a squishy. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Udyr Favoured at Full Build | Two items on, the edge is yours. The one thing to plan around is that he removes an isolated carry and leaves over a wall before anyone reacts — 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. Talon clears fast with Rake and Noxian Diplomacy bleeds, and the wall-hops mean his path is shorter than yours.
