Udyr Build Guide by Dwane

Introduction

Hey all,
This is my first guide on Mobafire. I play League Of Legends quite a long time now, and i researched builds of others to let this build fit my playstyle. This build fits my playstyle. If you don't play my style, this build could be less effective.
Udyr is fun to play. He has a stun, high mobility, a shield, damage over time, and great gank possibilities.
I play Udyr on the phoenix way. I started with tiger Udyr but when i tried phoenix Udyr, I never played tiger Udyr in the jungle anymore.

Pros / Cons

Pro's: + High damage without stuff + Good sustain + Very tanky + Very mobile + Great counterjungling + Powerful if fed/farmed + Good Anti-carry

Items

To start the game I grab some decent item's for ganking with Udyr. I start with Boots of Speed and 2 Health Potion's

Then I start my route. This can be seen in the "Jungling" Chapter.

I try to recall when I have at least 850 gold. Then I can get my Mercury's threads and (if I have the money) a Madred's Razors or Vampiric Scepter. If you don't have enough money for the Madred's Razors then get the Vampiric Scepter.

Next up is the Wit's End. I get this item for the attack speed, that lets my Phoenix Stance have more proc's. And, of course, for the Magic Resistance.

I get Phage because it is, in my opinion, 1 of the best items for Udyr. Phage gives health and attack damage. It also gives a 25% chance to slow by 30% for 2.5 seconds, on hit.

Sheen is a Great item on Udyr because of his low cooldowns and his basic attack based playstyle.

Now quickly finish the Trinity Force.

Great item if tanks are being a problem. Get in this case the Recurve Bow first. If you don't buy this sell your Madred's Razors!

This is another item out of Phage slow on each hit is really handy on Udyr and you get pretty much HP

Great item, gives some extra sustain and tankyness too with the lifesteal. It can turn fights paired with Turtle Stance.

A must-have against Karthus. You could also consider it when playing against a fed/strong AP carry.

When your support is not getting the Randuin's Omen you could get this. Ask your support if he/she is taking it, if not buy a Heart of Gold early on and take this item in a later stage of the game.

It can be a valuable item. However, there are way better items out there!

Great item when fed, but take this when you are sure you're score will be great.

Some people consider this viable. I do understand why, but to get more healing lifesteal is better and I already have plenty of magic resistance. But that's my opinion.

Nice item against hard AD carry's

Great item for more tankyness! Always take this in combination with Atma's Impaler

Great item! Take this when you deal with fed AD carry's and AP carry's.

Pretty new item but so viable against AP carry's

Take this against heavily fed AP based chars!

Take this against heavily fed AD based chars!

Great choice to get more DPS!

Great choice for more DPS!

Viable due to CoolDown Reduction and armor penetration. The active comes in handy too!

Great choice when having much HP!

Good for more Attack speed and more Phoenix Stance procs

You could consider this...

Take this is you feel like having mana problem's. I never needed it though.

Take some wards with you to ward when jungling.
