Nasus vs Udyr

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Focus on surviving Udyr's early jungle pressure by matching his clear speed with a full clear and avoiding risky invades.
Prioritize stacking (Q) safely and reaching level 6 to leverage your scaling and extended fight durability against Udyr's early aggression.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize safe jungle pathing and stacking (Q) by farming camps efficiently before contesting river or objectives.
Fight for Scuttle Crab only when lane priority supports it to leverage vision and objective control.
Use counter-gank timing around Udyr's early ganks to punish his moderate gank threat and secure Dragons or Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Udyr's early invade window after his first clear is dangerous; avoid isolated river fights without lane priority.
Contesting objectives like Dragon or Scuttle without vision or lane support exposes you to Udyr's strong dueling and invade resistance.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights early increase risk; back off if Udyr is visible or lanes cannot assist.

Early game

Start with a full clear to keep pace with Udyr's very high clear speed and reduce vulnerability to early invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if your nearby lanes have priority to avoid unfavorable fights.
Avoid early river fights and invades before you have (R) and meaningful (Q) stacks to survive Udyr's dueling power.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants durability and extended fight potential; use it to survive Udyr's early aggression and force longer skirmishes.
High (Q) stacks turn you into a powerful duelist; pressure side lanes to force Udyr into defensive play.
Respect Udyr's early to mid-game clear speed and dueling power by avoiding jungle control fights before your spikes.

Win conditions

Convert safe early clears and (Q) stacking into side-lane pressure once (R) and high stacks are active to force Udyr into defensive play.
Use counter-ganks around river objectives and vision control to deny Udyr tempo and secure Dragons or Rift Herald.
Exploit Udyr's lower late-game scaling by focusing on extended fights and split-push scenarios where your durability and stacks dominate.
