Udyr vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Udyr's fast clears and strong dueling let him control early jungle tempo against Nunu's sustain and objective focus.
Prioritize invading and counter-jungling when lanes have priority to punish Nunu's weaker isolated dueling and slower pathing.

Jungle Plan

Start with full clear, then path to invade or contest camps when lane priority and vision deny Nunu's snowball angles.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only if your lanes can respond first to counter Nunu's early objective starts.
Convert successful ganks into immediate dragon or Rift Herald attempts before Nunu can leverage (Q) plus Smite for secure steals.

Danger windows

Beware of Nunu's (W) knockup ganks from fog angles when lanes lack vision; hold river entrances tightly.
Avoid low-health jungle clears near contested objectives where Nunu can force Smite fights with (Q) sustain.
Respect early dragon or Herald setups if your lanes lack priority or vision, as Nunu can start these quickly and punish contest attempts.

Early game

Full clear quickly to hit level 3 before contesting Scuttle or invading, leveraging Udyr's superior clear speed.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Nunu's strong gank follow-up from (W) angles.
Avoid isolated fights early without lane support since Nunu's (W) knockup and root can turn numbers advantage quickly.

Power spikes

Udyr's level 3 spike enhances dueling and clear speed, enabling aggressive invades before Nunu matches power.
First dragon or Herald spawn boosts Nunu's objective secure with (Q) and Smite; Udyr must contest or preempt these with lane priority.
Udyr's (E) stun and empowered stances peak mid-game, use this window to force fights before Nunu's level 6 (R) zone control becomes threatening.

Win conditions

Use Udyr's superior clear speed and dueling to maintain jungle control and deny Nunu free farm and safe objective setups.
Leverage lane priority to invade safely and convert tempo leads into dragon and Rift Herald control.
Apply pressure through counter-ganks and skirmishes around river objectives before Nunu's teamfight utility peaks at level 6.
