Viego vs Udyr

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Viego should leverage medium early pressure and strong dueling to contest river fights where lanes can assist in securing first takedowns.
Prioritize skirmishes that create reset opportunities to snowball and convert into objective control rather than blind invades.
Respect Udyr's superior clear speed and invade resistance by avoiding early isolated fights without lane priority or vision support.

Jungle Plan

Path through camps that shadow lanes with strong CC or kill pressure to maximize counter-gank potential.
Contest Scuttle Crab and river vision when lanes can collapse quickly to leverage (W) stun and reset chains.
Use skirmishes around dragon and Rift Herald to convert takedowns into objective control, avoiding direct smite contests against Udyr's clear speed.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Udyr's (E) stun and mobility can punish without lane backup.
Be cautious during early objective setups where Udyr's tempo advantage can force unfavorable smite fights.
Respect Udyr's high invade resistance and fast clears by not overcommitting to counter-jungling without vision and lane support.

Early game

Opt for a stable first clear to reach level 3 on time and prepare for river skirmishes with lane assistance.
Fight for first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to ensure a favorable 2v2 or 3v3 scenario.
Avoid invading Udyr early unless lane priority and vision coverage guarantee safe counter-jungling or resets.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks execute and reset mobility; seek skirmishes where one low target can start chain takedowns.
First fighter item significantly boosts sustained dueling and reset potential; fight around lanes with priority to extend engagements.
Udyr's early clear speed and empowered stances demand respecting his early invade and counter-jungle windows until Viego's spikes.

Win conditions

Use (W) stun and camouflage (E) to initiate skirmishes where resets are achievable, snowballing kills into dragon and Rift Herald control.
Prioritize pathing through lanes with priority to maximize counter-ganks and deny Udyr's tempo advantage.
Convert reset chains into objective pressure, leveraging mid-game scaling to outduel Udyr and force teamfight advantages.
