Udyr vs Jax

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Udyr's fast clear speed and strong dueling let him control jungle tempo and force early objectives.
Prioritize using Udyr's mobility and stance damage to invade safely when lanes have priority and vision control.

Jungle Plan

Use Udyr's superior clear speed to cycle camps faster and maintain jungle control before Jax can respond.
Invade Jax's jungle when lanes have priority and track his camp respawns to punish slow rotations.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald control by leveraging Udyr's objective damage and river presence after securing tempo.

Danger windows

Early invade windows when Jax's lanes have priority or vision control make counter-invades risky.
Isolated river fights without lane support favor Jax due to his (E) stun and (Q) mobility.
Forced smite fights on dragon or Herald when Jax has item spikes or level 6 can turn against Udyr if overcommitted.

Early game

Full clear quickly to reach level 3 and decide between invading or contesting Scuttle based on lane priority.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Avoid early fights when Jax has priority or if lanes cannot cover your exits during invades.

Power spikes

Level 3 spike: Udyr's empowered stance and clear speed allow aggressive pathing and early invades.
Mid-game tempo spike: Udyr's stance dueling power peaks, enabling objective control and skirmish dominance.
Respect Jax's level 6 (R) spike by avoiding extended fights when his (E) is up and punish him after it's used.

Win conditions

Convert Udyr's elite clear tempo into consistent counter-jungling to deny Jax farm and delay his scaling.
Use Udyr's dueling and stun to secure early dragons and Rift Herald, leveraging lane priority and vision control.
Focus on skirmishes and objective setups where Udyr's mobility and sustained damage outmatch Jax's burst and scaling threats.
