Shyvana vs Udyr Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Shyvana, the Half-Dragon, meets Udyr, the Spirit Walker, in the jungle. 610 tracked games on 16.13.1 put Shyvana at a 44.4% win rate into Udyr. Sitting 5.6 points below the 50% line marks Udyr as a genuine problem pick for Shyvana.
Blazing Stampede (E) is the ability Shyvana has to respect, just as Udyr plays around Emberstrike. Whoever spends Dragon’s Descent or Wingborne Storm first hands the other a window. Fury against Mana — the sustain maths are not symmetrical here.
With Shyvana and Udyr both dealing physical damage, stacking a single stat answers most of it. Shyvana opens on 625 health and 35 armour, Udyr on 664 and 31. At full build levels the gap widens to 2240 HP versus 2228, favouring Shyvana.
Both champions are melee (Shyvana at 150, Udyr at 125), so the matchup is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
Udyr is the more demanding of the two to pilot (7/10 versus 4/10), which quietly shapes the win rate. Everything comes from Emerald+ solo queue and refreshes without manual input.
