Zed vs Udyr

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Zed's high mobility and burst to contest Udyr's tempo control and avoid prolonged fights where Udyr's dueling excels.
Prioritize denying Udyr early jungle camps and vision to disrupt his fast clears and objective setups.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading Udyr's jungle after your level 3 power spike when lanes have priority to punish his early pathing.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first, otherwise focus on full clears and setting up vision around dragon.
Use your mobility to cross-map for side-lane picks and force Udyr into reactive plays rather than direct fights.

Danger windows

Udyr's early high clear speed and empowered stance make level 1-3 invade attempts risky without lane priority.
Isolated river fights near Udyr's strong dueling camps can quickly turn against you if you are caught without backup.
Forced smite fights around early objectives like dragon require caution since Udyr's sustain and dueling threaten losing these contests.

Early game

Start with a fast three-camp clear to reach level 3 quickly and unlock your full combo before Udyr can fully pressure.
Avoid early river fights unless your nearby lanes have priority to support a Scuttle contest or invade.
Track Udyr's pathing to anticipate his counter-jungling and prepare counter-ganks accordingly.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (W)+(E)+(Q) combo, enabling strong burst trades and early gank threat; use this to invade or contest camps.
Level 6 (R) grants lethal all-in potential and escape, so track Udyr's position to capitalize on isolated targets.
First completed lethality item enhances your burst and wave control, allowing you to pressure Udyr's jungle and lanes more confidently.

Win conditions

Convert early level 3 and 6 power spikes into counter-jungling to deny Udyr's farm and tempo.
Use superior burst and mobility to secure side-lane picks and force Udyr to respond, creating objective windows.
Maintain vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to leverage your pick potential into objective pressure and scaling denial.
