Poppy vs Udyr

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Poppy's strong early-game pressure and terrain-based CC to contest Udyr's mobility and clear speed.
Prioritize invading and river control where wall stuns can punish Udyr's dash-reliant paths.
This matchup is about tempo control and denying Udyr's fast clear advantage through targeted invades and objective setups.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with terrain to threaten (E) wall stuns and hold (W) to deny Udyr's dash engages.
Invade Udyr's jungle when lanes have priority and Udyr is on slow rotations to deny his fast clear tempo.
Use (R) to disrupt Udyr's objective attempts, especially around dragon and Rift Herald, forcing resets or numbers advantage.

Danger windows

Udyr's early clear speed and mobility create high invade risk before Poppy secures river control.
Isolated river fights without lane support are dangerous due to Udyr's reliable (E) stun and dueling power.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Udyr arrives first or has lane priority, as forced smite fights can be lost.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into a level 3 gank or invade near walls to maximize (E) stun threat.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse and secure river control.
Avoid extended fights early without terrain advantage, as Udyr's clear speed and dueling are strong.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Udyr or remove him from objective fights, forcing him to respect your engage.
After first tank item, hold (W) to absorb Udyr's dash engages and extend front-line presence in skirmishes.
Respect Udyr's early empowered stance and (E) stun for his strong dueling and gank threat; avoid fights when these are up and Udyr has lane priority.

Win conditions

Convert terrain control and (E) wall stuns into successful invades and counter-jungling to deny Udyr's fast clear tempo.
Use (R) to disrupt Udyr's objective control, securing dragons and Rift Herald for your team.
Leverage gank threat from terrain angles and (W) dash denial to snowball lanes and maintain map pressure, limiting Udyr's scaling opportunities.
