Playing as Udyr
Tips to maximize your impact
- Swap stances between your autos
Swap stances every two autos: after each spell, Bridge Between (passive) gives attack speed to your next two attacks.
- Iron Mantle when you take damage
Switch to Iron Mantle (W) when you're taking damage: you gain a shield, and your next two autos heal you. Once awakened, it also heals you over time.
- Stun one target after another
In Blazing Stampede (E), each auto makes you dash to your target and stuns them. Switch targets to stun several: the same target can't be stunned again for a while.
- Awaken your Stampede to engage
To engage into a team full of CC, awaken Blazing Stampede (E) by recasting it: you become immune to immobilizing effects and gain move speed.
- Run at them in your storm
Cast Wingborne Storm (R) while running at the enemies: every second, it damages and slows everyone around you.
Playing against Gwen
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Enter her mist or wait
To hit her during Hallowed Mist (W), walk into the mist or wait for it to fade: from outside, you can't target her.
- Trade before her 4 autos
Take short trades before she lands 4 autos: each one adds a snip to Snip Snip! (Q).
- Get out of her needles' path
Step out of the Needlework (R) line: she can recast it twice within 6 seconds, with three then five needles.
- Send two to answer her split
Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: A Thousand Cuts (passive) heals her on every auto against a champion.
