Predator: This rune is what makes Udyr viable. Excessive amounts of speed is just what he needed!
Cheap Shot: You get free True damage whenever you stun and hit your enemy, so why not? BTW 
Sudden Impact does not work on Udyr's Bear Stance, because it's just an autoattack with increased range.
Eyeball Collection: Out of the three options, this one is the one that raises your damage. Since you will gank a lot, you will come by a lot of wards, and each one you destroy gives you one eyeball.
Relentless Hunter: You don't need to go and try to get all the Bounties, but the more you have the easier you will gank people.
Celerity: this will make you fast and add damage based on your bonus movespeed to your attacks. You have Bear Stance, Monkey's Agility, Boots of Swiftness, Deadman's Plate AND Youmuu's Ghostblade to boost you up! 
Waterwalking: Synergises well with Celerity, and with the fact that you will use the river as your highroad to Speed City.Abilities Back to Top

Core Items
Situational Items
I could go all day explaining what other items you can choose, but those are the ones that come to mind when you want to make the river red with the enemy's blood.
Machete has built-in attack speed against monsters, which is primordial for a good start.
Poacher's dirk is a great way to build Ghostblade. Build it only if you can safely steal enemy camps.
vs 
: If the enemy is heavy on AD, use Deadman's Plate. If they are not good at defending their turf, Ghostblade will help you gank and invade them. Either way, get both.
Guinsoo is expensive and should only be bought if you are stomping people.In case you are wondering: black, blue then white are the best colours after red.

XayahEasy
VS
Ashe
Medium
She has an extremely hard to dodge slow (and very effective at that) and a stun that's almost the size of the dragons. Don't bother with her, unless you're fed.
VS
Caitlyn
Medium
Her traps are easy to stop, but a well placed slow will stop your gank attempt faster than you can say gank attempt! Also, gigantic basic attack range.
VS
Corki
Medium
If you try and gank him, he has two options: flee with his dash, or all-in against you. The latter can work sometimes, so be careful. If he's out of mana, it's safe to engage; otherwise, tread carefully.
VS
Draven
Hard
He has a lot of speed, a combo of hard and soft CC, and more damage than you can afford to take. Leave him alone.
VS
Ezreal
Easy
He can poke you down, which is disencoraging, and his blink ability can go over walls, but that alone won't save him if he's past the middle of the lane!
VS
Jhin
Medium
He may not have dashs and blinks, but his invisible traps will severely slow you down, and a follow-up W of his will give him enough room to walk away from danger.
VS
Jinx
Medium
Dodging her slow is easy when you are fast like a bullet from hell, but her traps will make you detour, and potentially lose your gank, so beware.
VS
Kalista
Medium
Be careful, she may be weak but her oathsworn ally may be not.
VS
Kog'Maw
Easy
You can side-step his slow. Low health and armor equals easy kills for you!
VS
Lucian
Medium
He's fast, has a dash and tons of damage, but no CC makes him just a challenging prey.
VS
Miss Fortune
Easy
The only way she can stop you is using her slow, which she probably will not level much. Low health and low armor equals mince meat!
VS
Sivir
Medium
Sivir has superior agility, both her ultimate and passive will make her faster. Also, her shield will block your stun and grant her stun immunity (Bear Stance) for 6 seconds.
VS
Tristana
Hard
Her ultimate will send you back to the jungle, and her jump will make you wish you didn't gank at all.
VS
Twitch
Medium
Twitch has a powerful area-of-effect slow and can (and will!) go invisible if you try to gank him; but be alerted, because he can go back and start attacking you from VERY far away.
Udyr hates everything that is out of his reach.
VS
Varus
Hard
Varus has a combination of area slow and hard CC. Gank him only if you are confident that you can dodge his ultimate!
VS
Vayne
Medium
If you try to gank her, do so when she already used her ultimate, because she can all-in you with tons of true damage and an excellent disengage skill.
VS
Xayah
Easy
She can use her ultimate to get away from you, sure, but then you just have to side step her E and she's done. That, or gank soon again.
How to play: Back to Top
There are many counters against Udyr and/or this build in general.
- First: enemies that can move faster than Udyr and especially those that can go jump over walls: don't bother chasing them, unless they already used EVERYTHING - from Spells and Skills to mana and health! - otherwise don't mind them.
- Second: enemies that can stop you on your tracks, or slow you down. Doesn't matter if they are your target, this enemy can screw you up and will do everything in it's power to do so. They are not a primary threat, but a huge nuisance.
- Third: enemies that either deal more damage than you do (burst mages and assassins) or enemies that will not die in less than 5 seconds (tanks and bruisers do that a lot). If matched against them, you will have then to change from Assassin to Tank or Fighter, and this is not what this build is about.
- And last but not least (actually the most important), any combinations of the above!!!
Now that the counters are out of the way, we can talk about your targets.
High priority targets are usually ADCs, but some of them have escapes and snares, so let me put everything in a more general way:
NO SPELLS > LOW MANA > LOW HEALTH > LOW ARMOR
Between two nearly identical targets, focus the one with lower level, even if it grants less gold/experience.
The plan is for you to use the Predator rune enchantment+the river+Rift Scuttler's buff to get the most movespeed. This is so you can get close before they can react, and to not let them run away.
