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 Qiyana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Check her weapon's element
Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.
- Back off when she changes element
Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.
- Stay away from walls and the river
Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
