Rek'Sai vs Udyr

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rek'Sai must leverage her superior early game pressure and high clear speed to outpace Udyr in jungle tempo.
Focus on invading and contesting camps early to deny Udyr's fast clear and strong objective control.
Prioritize early ganks and river control to snowball before Udyr's mid-game power spike stabilizes.

Jungle Plan

Use tunnel paths to approach from unexpected angles and secure early ganks before Udyr can respond.
Invade Udyr's jungle camps when lanes have priority and Udyr is on the opposite side of the map.
Control dragon and Rift Herald setups by coordinating with lanes to deny Udyr's objective tempo and force him into reactive plays.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting Udyr when he has just completed a full clear and likely has smite available for objective contests.
Be cautious contesting isolated river fights without lane priority, as Udyr's stun (E) and AoE damage (R) threaten lethal trades.
Rek'Sai is vulnerable during low-health clears or after unsuccessful ganks without tunnel escape paths; reset or reposition accordingly.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early invade or counter-gank to exploit Rek'Sai's strong early dueling and gank threat.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to secure river control and vision.
Avoid extended fights without tunnel escape options against Udyr's empowered stances and stun.

Power spikes

Rek'Sai's early level 3 with access to tunnels and knockup (W) allows aggressive invades and ganks; use this to force Udyr off camps.
Udyr's empowered stances and high clear speed spike mid-game; respect his dueling by avoiding isolated fights without vision or tunnel escape.
Rek'Sai's ultimate (R) execute chase is a key spike for finishing kills during early skirmishes; commit when Udyr's stun (E) is on cooldown.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and successful invades into secured dragons and Rift Heralds before Udyr's mid-game strength.
Use repeated tunnel ganks to snowball lanes, especially targeting flashless or low-mobility enemies to maintain map pressure.
Deny Udyr free farm by tracking his pathing and counter-jungling camps when lanes have priority, preventing his scaling and objective control.
