WilliefknP's Guide to AD Udyr - GRANDMASTERS +
By lolWillieP
Introduction
HELLO WilliefknP at your service. I am a multi-seasonal challengar Udyr one trick, I play on the NA server and stream over on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/williefknp
Welcome to my AD Udyr guide! Why AD Udyr? It's easier to carry with, can snowball games faster than AP, and allows you to be an anti-carry one shot bruiser. If you ask me, it's also night and day more fun than AP tank playstyle.
Is it hard to learn? Nope. Give yourself some grace and about 10-20 games to learn the playstyle, and I promise you'll never go back to AP tank. You'll also learn how to snowball any game, winning or losing.
I hope you enjoy, if you have any comments please let me know as I try to improve wherever I can.
Mindset
This is THE most important part of playing Udyr, AD Udyr especially.
Your teammates do not matter. What I mean by that is you have the ability to solo carry games, regardless of how many lanes win. Mute chat if you need to, but your mental is or should be above all the normal nonsense.
Instead, focus on the fact that you're playing a SUPER solo queue carry champ. Udyr is not a carry champ, he's in the league above that. Arguably one of the best champions in the game for climbing.
You have the ability to farm faster than anyone, take objectives quicker than any other jungler, one shot the enemy midlaner/adc, and scale into a super split push monster. You can solo baron and win most 1v1s every stage of the game.
You're a GODYR. Don't let your teammates or small mistakes let you forget it.
Early Game
Alright, early game is fairly straightforward. Level 1, get a ward on the enemy raptors and start your redside. Then, two clear paths I do:
1) Full clear. If I can't invade (weak laners, hard jg matchup, etc) just do a full clear and hit level 4. You should aim to clear all 6 camps in less than 3:10
2) If the enemy jungle starts raptors, eat your red then go take the enemy blue + gromp. You'll hit level 3, and if the side lane closest to you is gankable you can go gank. If not, go kill your raptors + krugs + crab and hit level 4 that way
Once you get 1200 gold, go back to base and get a tiamat. Farm until you get enough gold.
After that, you're playing for objectives. When dragon spawns, kill it right at 5:00 or within the first minute. Then move to grubs and skip all farm.
If you can't get grubs, that's fine, but prioritize dragons as much as you can. If you get the first 3 grubs though, try your best to get all 6 ; it is game winning to get 6 grub stacks on this triforce build. You'll melt towers and plates.
If you have to decide between second dragon and 6 grubs, go for 6 grubs.
When objectives are on cooldown, invade and farm the enemy jungle first. THEN farm your own jungle only if: 1) objectives are down 2) you've tracked/farmed the enemy jungle 3) no lanes are gankable, and 4) you have a full side of the jungle to farm
That's literally it. You can climb to challengar playing exactly like this every game, I've done it many times.
Mid Game
Your top priority is get a tiamst on first back, then finish trinity force as fast as you can.
Hopefully, you'll have rift grub stacks. With trinity force and grub stacks, you FRY turret plates. Always look for angles to take turret plates, ie mid roams bot instead of counterganking I prefer sprinting mid and taking 3 turret plates. After successful ganks, always shove in and try to take plates.
Past 14 minutes, rift herald is important but not game winning. Prioritize dragons in my humble opinion.
At the 18 minute mark, start setting up baron pinks and look for bush cheese opportunities. You can 1 shot people with PTA + tiamat + trinity force. You also can do a 20 minute baron SUPER fast with an adc and/or dps toplaner.
For items, I strongly recommend getting either deadman's plate or Steraks 3rd item, then upgrade tiamat into titanic hyrda for the aa reset active. You can 1 shot people with the titanic active + awakening q.
Start building whatever 5th item you think you need - MR, arrmor, damage, it's really up to you. The new items Terminus and Experimental Hexplate are very fun if you are snowballing.
Late Game
It's crazy that 20+ minutes is "late game" nowadays. Games used to last 45+ minutes when I first started playing.
Past 20 minutes though, I strongly prefer teamfighting over split pushing if possible. Flash one-shot whoever the carry is and you insta win fights.
If you can't teamfight (bad teamcomp, super far behind in gold, etc) then you can try to go splitpush. Get a deadman's plate for the movement speed sooner rather than later if this is your plan.
For your final item, you can really build whatever you want. Situational tank or more damage, up to you.
A lot of people think AD Udyr can't teamfight, I honestly believe this to be a common misconception. With AD Udyr, you can either peel your adc by one shotting the enemy player that tries to engage, or *you* can be the engage by flash one shotting a carry. Up to you depending on the game.
Additionally, if the fight starts turning south, sprint to the closest lane and clear all minions. The enemy team can't take towers if the minion waves are dead, plus they might chase you and waste 30 seconds. You're REALLY fast with e max second and deadmans.
Finally, remember bush cheesing works all the the way to challenger. Look for opportunities to delete some carries who path poorly.
