How to Godyr

So today, I'll be talking about Udyr. Udyr is actually a pretty bad ass champion to play. He can go almost anywhere, but is mainly played top or jungle. Jungle Udyr in my opinon, is the best one to play because you an farm effectively and once you get your items, you're almost unstoppable. Hybrid Udyr is really strong right now and is just like Jax, whom I'll go over later because I thought I had done a Jax guide already. They're kind of similar in terms of what to build to go hybrid.

Udyr has a really impressive kit, which makes him an amazing jungler and fighter. He has everything, attack speed buff, life steal, a shield, aoe damage, and attack damage buffs. His whole thing is about using different fighting stances as his abilities. His Q is Tiger stance, when this ability is used he gets 30% more attack speed for five seconds when a point is first put into this, but will scale the more points get put into it. It also makes next the next basic attack to extra physical damage. The next stance is his W, Turtle stance. Yes it is as it sounds, this is the stance that gives him life steal and a shield when activated. His next ability is E the bear stance. when this ability is activated he gains movement speed for about 3 seconds and also his attacks have a stun, but he can't stun the same target until after 5 seconds. Lastly is his R, it's not his ultimate because he can put a point in it at first level, which is what people usually do for hybrid Udyr. His R is Phoenix stance, where he does aoe magic damage to enemies in front of him from on the first, third, and fifth attack. This is the one I usually put a point in first to help with the aoe jungle clears on the camps. I usually go for a point in turtle next for the shield and life steal, then bear for the stun and movement speed to gank and move around the map as fast as I can. Then I put a point in Tiger stance for some help in case I need to clear a camp fast before a gank. I max out phoenix, then turtle, then bear, then tiger stance.

As a jungler, the first item I start with is the mana regen one, then once I kill blue and red and a few camps, I'll go back to get the stalkers blade, then  go back into the jungle until I get enough gold for Devourer, so I get the attack speed and bonus magic damage on basic attacks. After Devourer, i get Guinsoo's Rageblade because it stacks after every attack up to 8 times and gives you everything hybrid udyr needs, AP, AD, and attack speed, once you get these two items or  even just devourer, you can solo drag by yourself as long as you switch between phoenix and turtle stance. the next item I get is Hextech gunblade because It gives you both AP and AD, plus spell vamp. After that you can get more AP items, like Rylie's Scepter because it gives you some health to be more tanky and AP plus a slow. Then you can get a Deathcap to have a huge AP power spike and your phoenix stancce damage will be amazing. You also need boots, so I suggest Merc treads or Ninja Tabi depending on how AP or AD the enemy team is. There are cool Udyr skins, I like the Definitely Not Udyr because whenever you change stances, he changes into a different animal costume. I recently got the Spirit Guardian Udyr which is worth around $30, but my friend got it for me for around $3 with a mystery gift. Now that you know how to use him, go out and play as the stance master hybrid Godyr.
