Taliyah vs Udyr

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's high clear speed to contest early Scuttle and control river vision before Udyr can leverage his faster clears.
Prioritize pathing through river chokes to maximize (W) and (E) effectiveness against Udyr's melee engage and mobility.

Jungle Plan

Full clear camps while preserving worked ground to maintain tempo and arrive early at contested river objectives.
Fight for first Scuttle only when allied lanes have priority to reduce risk against Udyr's strong dueling and mobility.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around dragon and Rift Herald, then force Udyr into unfavorable fights or deny his objective access.

Danger windows

Udyr's early clear speed and empowered stance create high risk during isolated river fights before Taliyah secures vision and lane priority.
Avoid low-health clears or extended fights near jungle entrances where Udyr can collapse with his stun and mobility.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision or lane priority, as Udyr can force smite fights or counter-ganks effectively.

Early game

Start with camps that allow efficient worked ground use to maintain clear speed and reach river first for Scuttle contests.
Avoid early full invades unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-jungling against Udyr's strong early dueling.
Prioritize early river control and vision to track Udyr's fast clears and prevent surprise ganks or counter-invades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), significantly increasing Taliyah's map pressure and gank threat; use this to force picks and secure objectives.
First completed mage item boosts poke and wave control, enabling safer contesting of camps and river control against Udyr.
Level 3 gives access to (Q), (W), and (E) for punishing Udyr's dashes through worked ground and displacement zones.

Win conditions

Use superior clear speed and worked ground pathing to arrive first at dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Udyr into reactive plays.
Punish Udyr's predictable movement with (W) displacement and (E) zones in river chokes to deny his dueling and gank threat.
Leverage (R) roams to create cross-map pressure, securing vision and objectives while Udyr is forced to farm or respond defensively.
