Playing as Udyr

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Swap stances between your autos

    Swap stances every two autos: after each spell, Bridge Between (passive) gives attack speed to your next two attacks.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Shen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay on the same side as his blade

    Stay on the same side as his spirit blade: if it doesn't pass through you, Twilight Assault (Q) deals much less damage.

  2. Trade after his E

    Take a trade after his Shadow Dash (E): it's both his taunt and his only dash, on an 18 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. No autos into his Refuge

    Don't waste autos on targets inside Spirit's Refuge (W): they're blocked there. Use spells instead, or wait for the zone to end.

  4. Interrupt his ult

    If you have CC, save it for Stand United (R): Shen channels before teleporting, and interrupting him keeps him away from the teamfight.

  5. Push when he leaves

    When he leaves lane with Stand United (R), ping your team and push your wave: each ult costs him minions and tower health.
