Nunu & Willump vs Udyr

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's superior gank threat and objective control to pressure Udyr early and force him off camps.
Avoid isolated duels where Udyr's empowered stances and fast clears give him advantage; focus on numbers advantage and lane CC to engage.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that enables early ganks into lanes with CC follow-up to capitalize on (W) engage and (E) root.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald aggressively after successful ganks, leveraging (Q) plus Smite for secure objective control.
Track Udyr's clear and invade patterns to counter-jungle safely when lanes have priority and avoid direct fights when he shows early aggression.

Danger windows

Beware Udyr's early invade attempts leveraging his movement speed and (E) stun; avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane backup.
Avoid low-health clears where Udyr can force smite fights; maintain camp health with (Q) sustain.
Respect lane states where Udyr's team has priority, as he can use that to invade or force objectives before you can respond.

Early game

Start with a fast clear using (Q) to maintain health and tempo, then look to contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades without lane support since Udyr's high dueling and clear speed make isolated fights risky.
Use (W) from fog to access gank angles Udyr can't match, forcing him to play reactive and ward deeper.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Herald spawn, use (Q) plus Smite to force early objectives and convert gank leads into map pressure.
At level 6, layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to maximize zone control and punish Udyr's attempts to engage.
Respect Udyr's empowered stance dueling power early and mid-game by avoiding 1v1s without lane or team support.

Win conditions

Convert repeated ganks and superior objective control into early dragon and Rift Herald takes to snowball map pressure.
Use (W) angles from fog and lane CC to create numbers advantages for successful skirmishes and objective setups.
Deny Udyr free farm and tempo by tracking his pathing, counter-jungling safely when lanes push, and forcing him into reactive play.
