Kayn vs Udyr

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe form progression by full clearing efficiently to avoid early Udyr dueling and invades.
Use Kayn's superior mobility and wall paths to avoid Udyr's early river pressure and counter-gank lanes pushed by Udyr.
This is a scale-oriented matchup where Kayn must manage tempo to outpace Udyr's early objective control and mid-game fighting strength.

Jungle Plan

Path for fast full clears focusing on form orbs and avoid extended fights before transformation.
Use wall routes to cross-map and punish predictable Udyr rotations or slow camp resets.
Prioritize dragon control after form by coordinating with lanes that have priority to contest Udyr's strong objective tempo.

Danger windows

Udyr's early level 3-6 clear speed and stun (E) create high invade and counter-jungle threat; avoid overextending without vision.
Isolated river fights are risky before Kayn's form; avoid contesting objectives without nearby lane support.
Forced smite fights early are dangerous due to Udyr's dueling and sustain; only contest with numerical or positional advantage.

Early game

Start with a full clear to secure orbs and form progress before contesting river or camps.
Avoid early invades unless lanes have clear priority and Udyr is spotted on opposite side of the map.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and Udyr is delayed by his slower pathing or ganks.

Power spikes

Kayn's mid-game form transformation grants high mobility and skirmish power; use this to force fights on your terms.
Udyr's early clear speed and empowered stance make him a dangerous duelist; respect his level 3-6 window by avoiding isolated fights.
Post-transformation, Kayn can punish Udyr's lack of ranged engage by leveraging terrain and surprise angles.

Win conditions

Convert form timing into aggressive terrain-based ganks to deny Udyr farm and force his fallback.
Use superior mobility and wall paths to counter-jungle Udyr when lanes have priority and Udyr is on opposite side.
Secure dragons and Rift Herald with lane priority to leverage objective control and snowball mid-game advantage.
