Udyr vs Elise

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Udyr's superior clear speed and dueling to control jungle tempo and contest river scuttles early.
Prioritize counter-jungling and objective control to deny Elise's early snowball potential.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears rapidly to cycle camps before Elise can respond, then look for counter-jungling when lanes have priority.
Fight for dragon and Rift Herald setups when you control river vision and Elise is forced to path defensively.
Track Elise's early gank paths to position for counter-ganks and punish her reliance on early dives.

Danger windows

Early invade windows before Udyr reaches level 4 are risky due to Elise's lethal (E) cocoon and dive combos.
Isolated river fights without lane priority expose Udyr to Elise's burst and crowd control.
Forced smite fights at dragon or Herald require Udyr to ensure vision and lane support to avoid Elise's early objective steals.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 4 quickly and gain tempo advantage over Elise's slower three-camp clear.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to secure river control and vision.
Avoid extended fights early without lane priority, as Elise's (E) cocoon and dive threat punish isolated Udyr plays.

Power spikes

Level 4 power spike: Udyr's full stance kit and clear speed enable aggressive counter-jungling and objective control.
First item spike (e.g., jungle item completion) boosts Udyr's dueling and sustain, increasing river fight success.
Elise's level 3 spike with (E) cocoon and rappel demands Udyr respect early invade attempts and avoid isolated fights.

Win conditions

Convert Udyr's elite clear speed and dueling into sustained river and jungle control to deny Elise farm and tempo.
Use vision and lane priority to safely invade Elise's jungle and force her into unfavorable fights.
Leverage Udyr's objective control strength to secure dragon and Rift Herald, snowballing leads into mid-game teamfights.
