Use Briar's high clear speed to maintain tempo and contest river control against Udyr's fast clears.
Prioritize fighting around lanes with priority to protect your frenzy commits and avoid Udyr's strong early dueling.
Jungle Plan
Path toward volatile lanes where you can engage with (Q) and (R) when lanes can follow for protected skirmishes.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first to secure river control and deny Udyr's tempo.
Counter-jungle Udyr when you spot slow rotations or after forcing him off camps with lane priority, focusing on objective setup over chasing low-value ganks.
Danger windows
Beware Udyr's early invade timing when he can leverage his superior clear speed and movement to force fights.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane priority, as Udyr's (E) stun and mobility can punish overextensions.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Udyr has lane priority or can kite you away from your target during fights.
Early game
Start with a healthy full clear to keep tempo and look for early river Scuttle control if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades unless you have solid lane priority or vision on Udyr's position to prevent collapse.
Use (R) cautiously into fog or river after tracking Udyr's path to set up safe counter-ganks or skirmishes.
Power spikes
Briar spikes when (Q) and (R) are available to engage and stick to targets, enabling extended skirmishes.
Udyr spikes with empowered stances and (E) stun; respect his early dueling power by avoiding isolated fights without lane support.
Briar's scaling through sustained damage makes extended fights favorable, so look to snowball tempo into mid-game skirmishes.
Win conditions
Convert healthy tempo and protected skirmishes into objective control by securing dragons and Rift Herald with lane priority.
Use (Q) and (R) to create sticky engages and clean up fights, denying Udyr's scaling through sustained pressure.
Track Udyr's camp respawns and rotations to counter-jungle effectively and force him into unfavorable fights or slow clears.
