Darius vs Udyr

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use your all-in juggernaut strength to contest jungle camps early and punish Udyr's pathing mistakes before he can leverage his faster clears.
Prioritize river vision and Scuttle control to limit Udyr's high mobility and early invade potential.
Focus on snowballing through early dueling and objective pressure to offset Udyr's mid-game tempo advantage.

Jungle Plan

Full clear efficiently to match Udyr's tempo, then look for invade windows when lanes have priority and Udyr is on the opposite side of the map.
Prioritize controlling river vision and Scuttle crabs to deny Udyr safe rotations and objective setups.
Use counter-ganks around early lane pressure spikes to capitalize on Udyr's limited long-range engage and punish his forward positioning.

Danger windows

Udyr's early invade windows with high mobility and stun require you to avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane support.
Low-health clears expose you to forced smite fights; avoid overcommitting to camps when Udyr is nearby.
Be cautious contesting dragon or Herald if Udyr's lanes have priority and can assist in early objective fights.

Early game

Start with a clear path that allows you to reach level 3 quickly to contest or invade before Udyr can exploit his superior clear speed.
Avoid extended fights early if Udyr has lane priority or vision control, as his mobility and stun can punish overextensions.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to reduce counter-gank risk and secure river control.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your execute (R), enabling lethal extended trades; stack passive before committing to secure kills and snowball.
First completed bruiser item boosts your durability and damage, allowing you to force longer fights and survive Udyr's burst.
Udyr's early clear speed spike demands respect; match his tempo to avoid losing jungle control and objective access.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling wins into counter-jungling to deny Udyr camps and delay his tempo.
Secure Scuttle control and river vision to set up safe objective takes and force Udyr into unfavorable fights.
Use your level 6 execute and bruiser power spike to snowball through kills, then pressure side lanes and objectives to maintain map control.
