Pro Commentary
Pros and Cons
PROS
High mobility
High sustain
Very strong laning phase, cannot be pushed out due to Turtle Stance and cannot be outdamaged due to Tiger Stance
CONS
Mana problems early on in the game
Relies on snowballing from early game to be a huge threat late game
Slows ruin his ability to close gaps with Bear Stance; can be kited easily
depends. if you go top lane with him, you max q first. if you go jungle, q or r both work. q for ganking and counterjungle. r for clear speeds and aoe teamfight damage. its best atm to rush sunfire cape on him. i prefer boots of swiftness on him since its not really hard cc that stops him, its persistent slows. going full tank with him works really well. and once you get randuins, you can do neat tricks like a flash-randuins activate into multiple stuns. after taht you can fall back and protect the carry.with stuns and your base tiger dot. with udyr, its best to use straight ad marks and quints for tiger stance, and attack speed for pheonix in the jungle. hope that helped :)
he doesn't have an ult so any champion that has a good ult while able to survive his early game in general can beat him in lane and late game. examples are rengar, darius, riven, riven is a bit iffy if you're not willing to miss some cs early on to avoid hid q.
you can also pick ranged tops such as teemo who can completely sh!t on udyr if he times his q right and harass him in lane. jayce and nidalee can also make it difficult for him in lane.
irelia gets countered by him, don't try unless you're sure about your irelia play.
gl, this champion is a great top laner and the reason he is not played top much because he is boring and he doesn't have an ult/a moment of shine in a teamfight.
This ability set is also very good for jungling because tiger stance is normally your main form of dmg, if you can max it while in the jungle (as well as being a strong jungle tool) you can powerfully gank earlier than you would with phoenix stance.
wy not put Phoenix Stance at lvl 3? It helps to clear creeps quickly and Phoenix Stance -> Tiger Stance great combo bc Phoenix Stance helps whit AD for Tiger Stance

do u really want to clear the creeps waves fast ? ;) so u push and play at his tower ... easy gank for them ;)
JUST LASTHIT !
Phoenix Stance great for clearing waves, but Tiger Stance does more Solo Dmg. You are fighting essentially one target on top lane, if you push and harass then Tiger Stance is the Way to go. However if you are constantly getting harassed, I would put more points into Turtle Stance then Tiger Stance earlier on to help you sustain.
Also there are points at in the game where you want to hold the line. If you can hold the line effectively at your tower he is losing out on creeps. It is very tricky to do that with Phoenix Stance.
(However do remember by holding the line at your tower, forces your top lane opponent to roam which yes also causes him to lose Creep Score. But it can also get him a kill in other lanes or your Jungler)
Hey Pobelter,nice guide bro. Just wanted you to ask:Do u consider Philo and HoG to be viable items for some early boost in gold and/or for mana reg/health/health reg? Keep up da great work :)
Yes they are both great items to get, I get them as a Jungler on a Regular Basis. I also know several Top Laners who get them as well, but remember by doing this your also going for a stronger mid to late game player. (30+ Minute Games).
So keep in mind on what you need to do and how you want to play that match. If your falling significantly behind in Creep Score then yeah I would most likely get them to help you catch up in gold.
I know this isn't major or anything, but why not max Initiator over Enlightenment? Udyr's cooldowns are all already very low and he suffers form getting kited, so wouldn't the MS help him more?

Posted 7/28/2012 11:55:35 PMThe more chances I get switch to Tiger Stance, or Turtle Stance...... The more Damage I can deal or take.
Read: Tiger Stance ...... Udyr's first attack rends his target, dealing an extra ## / ## / ### / ### / ### (+1.5) magic Damage.
First Attack after activating the stance...
