Udyr into Shenmedium

Overview

Convert early pressure into river control and objective setups to limit Shen's global impact.
Track Shen's pathing to predict counter-invades and avoid unfavorable fights.

Use fast clears to cycle camps quickly, then invade Shen's jungle when lanes have priority and his pathing is predictable.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only when your lanes can pressure Shen's jungle entrances and exits.
Prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald setups using vision to force Shen into teamfights where Udyr excels.

Avoid isolated river fights when Shen's taunt is available and enemy lanes lack priority.
Be cautious contesting objectives with low health or smite, as Shen can capitalize on forced smite fights.
Watch for Shen's ultimate timing; hard push lanes or secure vision to mitigate his cross-map impact.

Start with a full clear to leverage Udyr's very high clear speed before choosing invade or Scuttle contest.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to reduce risk of Shen's counterplay.
