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 Talon
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge his blades on the return
Get out of the path of Rake (W), especially on the return: the returning blades slow you, and each spell that hits brings you closer to Blade's End (passive).
- Push to keep him in lane
Push your wave whenever you can: he then has to stay and farm instead of roaming by vaulting walls with Assassin's Path (E).
- Engage when his ult is on cooldown
If you can engage, go for him while Shadow Assault (R) is on cooldown: it's his main way out of a fight, and it comes back in 100 to 60 seconds.
- Ping as soon as he disappears
Ping your team as soon as he leaves your vision, and ward the paths behind walls: Assassin's Path (E) lets him vault walls to roam through the jungle.
