Hello everybody, I'm TogTMW and this is my first guide. I hope you enjoy it. I will go into detail about Jungle Phoenix Udyr and how to play and build him. Don't forget to give this guide an upvote!

Pros

• Extremely fast clear time
• Great duelist
• Amazing at counter jungling
• Can breeze through the middle of a team fight and target the carries first

Cons

• Has no ultimate
• Kited easily
• Shut down by hard CC or slows
• Needs blue buff for ability spam

Runes for Udyr revolve around his attack speed for both Wilding Claw and Wingborne Storm paths.
The flat Armor is for early jungling and the scaling MR is for Mid game team fights.

You are a jungler, do I even have to elaborate on this?

Flash is the quintessential summoner spell (unless you are Hecarim, in which case you want Ghost. This can be used to secure that kill early on, as well as escape unfavorable engagements all game long.

Ghost is your best escape if you want to play without Flash. Its only superior to Flash when you want to travel farther faster, and there is no wall for you to flash over.

Exhaust is amazing in duels because it can greatly reduce your opponents damage output. When taking this spell you need to remember that you will be replacing Flash or Ghost, making it more difficult to escape a bad situation.

Stance Sequence

Ability list

Udyr's passive, Bridge Between, increases his attack speed by 15% and movement speed by 5 for each stack, and can stack up to 3 times. A stack is added each time Udyr activates one of his stances.

Udyr's Q, Wilding Claw, is an attack speed buff with the activation causing the next basic attack to deal bonus magic damage.

Udyr's W, Iron Mantle, gives udyr a passive HP and Mana regen based on damage dealt while active. When activated, gives Udyr a shield based on his AP.

Udyr's E, Blazing Stampede, gives udyr a passive 1 second stun on hit that will proc every six seconds. Upon activation, Udyr gains a percent MS buff for a few seconds.

Udyr's R, Wingborne Storm, is his bread and butter jungle ability. It is what gives him his insane clear times. Upon activation, rings of fire radiate outward every second for 5 seconds dealing magic damage. Passivly, the first attack after activation and every third attack after will shoot an AOE flame in front of Udyr dealing magic damage.

Starting Items

• Hunter's Machete and 5X Health Potion is the standard jungle start for extra damage and sustain
• The alternate start is Boots and 3X Health Potion is good if you want an early gank after Blue but before Red

First Back

• Spirit Stone will help with sustain and build into a Spirit of the Ancient Golem
• The sight ward will help with counter jungling, and Boots will help ganks if you don't have them already

Transistion out of Jungling

• Spirit of the Ancient Golem is good on Udyr for the extra tankiness and tenacity
• The Phage will build into a Frozen Mallet and the second into a Trinity Force
• Boots of Swiftness reduce the effectiveness of slows and give more base speed than Mercury's Treads, but the treads are better if the enemy team has more hard CC, or the enemy AP carry got more fed than you would like

Late Game AD Offtank

• Trinity Force boosts your auto attacks and gives you some extra tankiness
• Frozen Mallet gives you a slow and lots of health
• Wit's End gives you attack speed and lots of MR
• Maw of Malmortius gives you lots of MR, a shield when low on health, and some extra AD
• Warmog's Armor gives you tons of health and a bunch of regen to go with that
• Enchantment: Furor allows you to stick to your targets easier in team fights

Tanky VS AD, AD

• Randuin's Omen has a massive armor and health boost as well as a slow
• Iceborn Gauntlet gives you an on-hit slow, some AP, some armor, some mana, and some CDR
• Frozen Mallet will give you a nice health boost, as well as some AD and an on-hit slow
• Warmog's Armor gives you that extra 1,000 health, and along with the frozen mallet, you should have lots of health and a nice amount of regen
• Trinity Force gives you that extra bit of oomph to allow you to kill that squishy ADC a little bit faster
• Enchantment: Furor allows you to stick to your targets easier in team fights

Tanky VS AP, AD

• Maw of Malmortius gives you lots of MR, a shield when low, and some AD
• Banshee's Veil gives you some more MR, as well as some health, mana, and a nuke blocker
• Trinity Force gives you that oomph that i talked about earlier to kill that damn APC
• Runic Bulwark gives you MR, Armor, health, and gives your allies a little less of each
• Wit's End gives you that extra MR and attack speed
• Enchantment: Furor allows you to stick to your targets easier in teamfights
• Mercurial Scimitar gives you a cleanse along with your MR and AD boosts

Junglling

Udyr works best when given a leash at Blue, then goes Wolves, Wraiths, Red,(gank top/mid if possible), Double Golems, Wraiths, Wolves, (gank bot/mid if possible).

Counter Jungling

Upon your first back, grab a sight ward along with the spirit stone so that you can Blazing Stampede over to the enemy jungler's blue buff, and ward the bush BEFORE he gets there, around the 7:15 minute mark. If he sees you ward, then you should leave immediately. If he doesn't, then this sets you up perfectly for a smite steal of Blue, and then a kill if the enemy jungler isn't Trundle, Shaco, or Udyr, and mid/top doesn't come to kill you. Other than that, you should be well off.

Your job is as follows:
Activate bear stance and run through the middle of their team straight toward the two carries. It's as simple as that. Kill the two damage dealing squishies and your team has just won that fight.
