Hecarim vs Udyr

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Hecarim's fast clear speed and high mobility to maintain jungle tempo and punish Udyr's overextensions early.
Focus on leveraging mid-game scaling and ultimate engage to convert jungle tempo into impactful objective fights and teamfights.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize fast camp cycling and reset tempo before dragon or Herald to control objective entry and vision.
Use speed and ultimate fear to counter-gank predictable Udyr ganks and punish his mid-clear rotations.
Invade or contest camps only when lane priority and vision deny Udyr safe exits, focusing on denying his tempo and objective control.

Danger windows

Respect Udyr's early invade window post-level 3 when his clear speed and stun (E) allow strong counter-jungling.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority as Udyr's stun and AoE damage (R) can punish poor positioning.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision since Udyr's objective control and dueling can force smite fights unfavorable to Hecarim.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward lanes showing push to maximize level and item spikes before contesting river.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Udyr's strong early invade and counter-jungle threat.
Avoid early fights without vision as Udyr's high clear speed and dueling make him dangerous in isolated river skirmishes.

Power spikes

Hecarim spikes mid-game with items and ultimate (R) fear engage; use this to force objective fights and teamfights.
Udyr's early clear speed and empowered stance dueling peak early; respect his level 3-6 window by avoiding isolated fights.
Hecarim's (E) charge grants strong engage and mobility; use it to initiate fights when Udyr is out of position or cooldowns are down.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and speed ganks into securing early dragons and Rift Herald to deny Udyr scaling and tempo.
Use ultimate engages from fog of war to start teamfights favorably and force Udyr into reactive play.
Track Udyr's camp respawns to counter-jungle safely and maintain jungle control, limiting his mid-game power and objective access.
