Udyr vs Ivern

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Udyr's elite clear speed and dueling power let him dictate jungle tempo and contest river control early.
Prioritize invading or counter-jungling Ivern when lane priority secures safe entrances and exits.
Focus on converting early tempo into dragon and Rift Herald control to leverage Udyr's objective strength over Ivern's utility scaling.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears rapidly to cycle camps faster and deny Ivern's slower jungle tempo.
Contest first Scuttle only if adjacent lanes have priority to support fights or counter-ganks.
Invade Ivern's jungle when his camps respawn and lanes can cut off his escape, leveraging Udyr's dueling and mobility.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Ivern's root (Q) and Daisy knockup (R) can turn skirmishes.
Be cautious contesting objectives if lane priority is lost, as Ivern can leverage team utility and crowd control.
Watch for forced smite fights when Udyr's health is low after clears; Udyr's dueling drops, increasing risk of losing objectives.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 3 quickly, then decide between invading or contesting the first Scuttle based on nearby lane priority.
Avoid fighting Ivern alone early; instead, use Udyr's mobility to track Ivern and counter-gank when lanes can collapse.
Secure river vision after first clear to spot Ivern's unusual pathing and prevent his buff-sharing routes.

Power spikes

Level 3 spike boosts Udyr's dueling and invade threat; use this to pressure Ivern's jungle and contest Scuttle.
Completing key jungle items early enhances Udyr's objective control and sustain, enabling stronger fights around dragon and Herald.
Udyr's mid-game tempo peak allows aggressive counter-jungling and objective setups before Ivern's utility scaling becomes impactful.

Win conditions

Use Udyr's superior clear speed and dueling to deny Ivern jungle camps and force him into reactive play.
Convert early jungle pressure into secured dragon and Rift Herald control with lane priority and vision dominance.
Apply consistent counter-ganks when Ivern attempts early ganks, leveraging Udyr's stun (E) to snowball lanes and maintain tempo advantage.
