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 Taliyah

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't cross her minefield

    When Unraveled Earth (E) is on the ground, don't cross it with a dash or get thrown through it by Seismic Shove (W): the stones explode under you and stun you.

  2. Engage after Seismic Shove

    If you can engage, go in after Seismic Shove (W): without it, she has nothing left to push you back, and no dash to escape.

  3. Knock her off her wall

    If you have CC, save it for Taliyah while she surfs on Weaver's Wall (R): once immobilized, she stops surfing immediately.
