Udyr into Jaxmedium

Leverage river presence after securing tempo to prioritize dragon and Rift Herald objectives.

Danger windows

Avoid early invade attempts when Jax's lanes have priority or vision control to reduce counter-invade risk.

Be cautious in forced smite fights on dragon or Herald when Jax has item spikes or level 6, as overcommitting can backfire.
