Udyr vs Vi

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Udyr's superior clear speed and dueling power let him control jungle tempo and contest key river objectives early.
Prioritize using fast clears to invade or counter-invade when lanes hold priority to deny Vi safe farm and force tempo advantages.

Jungle Plan

Full clear then track Vi's path to counter-invade camps when lanes have priority and Vi commits to ganks.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes can respond first, using Udyr's mobility to secure objectives.
Use superior clear speed to cycle camps faster and force Vi into reactive pathing, denying her tempo and scaling opportunities.

Danger windows

Early invade attempts before Udyr hits level 4 can backfire if Vi's lanes lack pressure; avoid fighting without lane support.
Isolated river fights are risky when Vi's (Q) dash and (R) knockup are available; secure vision and lane priority before contesting.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near objectives are dangerous; retreat if Vi shows on the map or lanes are overextended.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 4 before contesting Scuttle or invading to leverage Udyr's clear speed.
Contest first Scuttle crab only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights against Vi's early gank threat.
Avoid early fights if Vi's (Q) is up and nearby lanes lack priority, as Vi can punish overextensions with lockdown and burst.

Power spikes

Level 6 is a major spike: Udyr's (E) stun and empowered stances boost dueling and objective control; use this to contest dragons and Herald.
First completed jungle item enhances Udyr's sustained damage and durability, increasing his ability to win extended fights and objective contests.
Vi's level 6 lockdown (R) demands caution; respect this by avoiding isolated fights without lane priority or vision control.

Win conditions

Convert Udyr's elite clear speed and dueling into controlling dragon and Rift Herald through timely river vision and lane priority.
Use counter-jungling to deny Vi camps and force her into defensive pathing, limiting her gank threat and objective access.
Coordinate ganks with lanes holding priority to capitalize on Udyr's reliable (E) stun and snowball mid-game tempo advantages.
