'Mastered Stances' upgrades Stance Swaps to Burst speed and ensure each stance provide a minimum +1 to each stats, enabling Get Swole on all stats for all Stances, as well as providing each stance with an extra effect, most notably Bear Stance gaining a stun effect. This drastically improves his offensive and defensive utility, though it notably removes the self-damage synergy from Ram Stance.
- Prioritize Early Deployment
Drop Udyr as early as possible, ideally on Round 1 using cost-reduction relics, to maximize the mana value of his stances and establish early removal.
- Leverage Burst Speed Stances
At 6 stars, Mastered Stances operate at Burst speed. Use them reactively as combat tricks for unexpected Barrier, Stun, or Challenger plays to disrupt enemy attacks.
- Synergize with Support Champions
Cheap champions with good keywords that can be deployed early can utilize Udyr's massive stat boost to end the game before Udyr even come into play. However, more expensive champions allow Udyr to have access to better discount items, allowing him to be deployed early instead. Players can should choose their support champ based on their playstyle and strategy.
- Protect Against Removal
Udyr is highly vulnerable to hard removal. Prioritize acquiring Spellshield through relics like Black Shield or in-run powers to protect your investment.
