Udyr into Ekkomedium

Overview

Use Udyr's superior clear speed and dueling to control jungle tempo and river early.
Prioritize early Scuttle crab and punish Ekko's slower rotations before level 6.
Convert fast clears into objective pressure and force Ekko into reactive plays.

Start with a full clear, then invade Ekko's jungle when lanes have priority and Ekko is away or low.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes control river entrances and exits to limit Ekko's escape.
Use clear speed and dueling to set tempo around dragon and Rift Herald, denying Ekko scaling.

Avoid isolated river fights pre-6 where Ekko's stun and repositioning punish.
Be cautious contesting objectives with Ekko's up, as he can reset fights and heal.
Maintain vision to spot Ekko's fogged gank setups and reduce surprise engages.

Full clear quickly to hit level 3 first, then choose invade or Scuttle contest based on lane priority.
Avoid river fights if Ekko's lanes lack priority or if his is available.
Invade or counter-invade only when nearby lanes can assist to secure camps or objectives.

Udyr's level 3 grants strong dueling and invade potential; contest camps before Ekko's combo unlock.
Empowered stance and stun enable mid-game tempo to force objectives before Ekko's key items.
Respect Ekko's level 6 for escape and resets; punish after its cooldown.

Use Udyr's elite clear speed and dueling to consistently counter-jungle and deny Ekko farm.
Leverage lane priority to secure Scuttle and dragon control, forcing Ekko into defensive pathing.
Pressure Rift Herald and dragon mid-game to snowball advantages into objective leads and map control.
