Hey, just little thoughts about AP Udyr. He is very similar to
Singed in terms of damage (AoE+Proc), tankyness (turtle spam), mobility (bear+passive), pushing and coming back into the game. Of course, his basic tankyness is lower, but his
Iron Mantle makes up for that. And in the lane, he can be even stronger than
Singed. His cc is worse, but a stun to everyone slapping is usefull aswell. I got this idea for the build:





That build is seriously lacking in tank power. If you wanted to go to a more damage oriented build, I think
Lich Bane instead of one of the last 2 would be more worthwhile.
The main thing here is that
Singed doesn't need to go into a different mode like
Udyr. When he goes turtle he does **** damage. So I guess he needs a more defensive-oriented build in order to play similarly.
Even so, I have no idea right now how to make it work, honestly.

I wouldn't buy rod of ages on udyr, it seems pointless. He has huge mana problems in early game, but later on he's fine. Don't build him that much focused on ap, you should try more hybrid so it's harder to counter you. For example, Nashor's Tooth and Sheen upgrade (trinity force or frozen fist). He doesn't need many damage items to be strong, just outlevel your opponents and you will be fine. Also botrk makes him much more fearsome duelist
Resistances are excellent on him, his shield prevents 220 damage on lv 5 with 5 seconds duration, so it's basicly free health that scales with all resistances.
Boots should be swiftness or ninja tabi (depending on enemy team), or maybe mercury against fiddle or long tenacity affected cc like that.
For runes, try hybrid penetration or attack speed marks (and quints, but less important).
In conclusion: build him less ap oriented and more tanky.

But that build is neither AP nor anything near




And a catalyst is a must in the lane.







HP, AS, 265 AP, 30 MPen, MRes, Armor, spellbalde, Sunfire damage ticks. If this isn't tanky enough, take out

Meh. Could work.
As you see, without RoA and Zhonya's you really lack AP, as this puts you up to 400. And AP = Shield Strength = Tankyness.
And that 150 AP more makes up for the
Sunfire Aegis passive, it adds up 35 damage more onto phoenix waves without the passive proc.
The only thing that brings the difference here is the
Lich Bane proc, but that one also lowers your tankyness by a big amount.
Hmm, maybe this: Get
Athene's Unholy Grail for CDR, AP and MR instead of
Nashor's Tooth and
Abyssal Mask, then get
Rylai's Crystal Scepter instead of
Rod of Ages and get
Lich Bane on top of it. So it would look like this:
Sorcerer's Shoes
Athene's Unholy Grail
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Liandry's Torment
Lich Bane
Zhonya's Hourglass
This way we still have all the stats but now also have a slow and the sheen proc. AS isn't really that needed as your damage and especially your survivability more relies onto CDR.
