Udyr vs Graves

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Udyr's superior clear speed and dueling to control jungle tempo and secure early river vision.
Prioritize invading or contesting camps only when nearby lanes have priority to ensure safe exits and counter-gank support.

Jungle Plan

Execute a full clear then look to invade Graves' jungle when lanes hold river priority to deny his tempo.
Contest first Scuttle only if your laners can assist or if Graves is visible on opposite side to avoid 2v1 scenarios.
Use fast clear and empowered stance dueling to pressure camps and force Graves into reactive pathing, enabling objective setups.

Danger windows

Beware Graves' early invade windows when he has lane priority and can kite you with (E) dash.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Graves can burst with (R) and disrupt with (W) smoke screen.
Low-health clears expose you to losing smite fights; ensure health and vision before contesting objectives.

Early game

Full clear quickly to hit level 3 before Graves and decide between invading or securing first Scuttle based on lane priority.
Avoid extended fights early unless you have lane priority or Graves is pathing predictably to counter-jungle.
Use Udyr's mobility to contest river control and set up for early dragon or Herald if lanes allow.

Power spikes

Level 3 grants Udyr strong dueling and invade potential; use this to contest camps or Scuttle aggressively.
First major item spike enhances objective control; leverage this to secure dragon or Herald before Graves scales.
Mid-game tempo is Udyr's strength; maintain pressure on Graves' jungle to deny farm and force him into defensive play.

Win conditions

Convert Udyr's elite clear speed and dueling into sustained objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use counter-jungling when Graves shows on predictable gank paths to deny his scaling and force tempo resets.
Leverage Udyr's mobility and stun to secure ganks on priority lanes, snowballing leads into map control and objectives.
