Udyr vs Skarner · Jungle
The lane in ten seconds, then the whole brief — written by our coach for your level, from Riot's own kits for patch 16.22. Every number checked against Riot's data. Options, never orders.
The same lane is not played the same way in Silver and in Diamond: pick your level, the advice changes. Signed in, Olymps opens on your rank. Coaching, not statistics — the abilities and Riot's cooldowns are the same at every level.
Fight in the open. Stay away from walls when his E is ready.

How the lane plays · Iron – Silver
Close early fights: Udyr wins by fighting in the open and away from walls, Skarner wins by landing E (Ixtal's Impact) or a level 6 suppress.
Clear clean and keep your health high. If you meet near a camp, E (Blazing Stampede) stun starts the trade. Skip fights after he has powered up his Q boulder.
Look at where your laners are before you gank. Contest scuttle only when you can see him, because his E charges through terrain and can pin you against a wall.
His R (Impale) suppresses one target and drags them to his team. Warn your laners when he shows up, and avoid fighting with his ult ready.
Play it aggressive
Invade his camps if you see him on the other side of the map. Start with a camp that has no wall behind it.
Fight when his E is on cooldown. Open with E (Blazing Stampede), hit him, then follow with Q or R.
Scuttle when you arrive first. A stun and a shield make early skirmishes in the river worthwhile.
Play it safe
Don't walk into narrow jungle paths when his E could be ready. Walls make his stun stronger.
Back off if he gets the first Q boulder hit and Quaking builds up. Quaking can deal heavy damage over time.
Be careful with low health around his level 6. Chasing a hurt Skarner can end with a suppress.
Their threats · Riot's cooldowns
Charges a long way, even through terrain, and stuns you if he slams you into a wall. Fight in open space, away from walls and jungle borders.
Suppresses and drags you into his team. Don't chase low-health targets into his side of the map when his ult could be ready.
Gives him a shield and slows you in a wide area. Don't dive in while it's up. Wait for the shield to fade or trade elsewhere.
Your combo

Everything about Udyr →How this is written
Our coach reads both kits exactly as Riot publishes them for the current patch — abilities, cooldowns, costs, ranges — and writes the lane for one level at a time: Iron – Silver, Gold – Platinum, Emerald – Diamond, Master+. Every number in the text is checked against Riot's data; a line that cites anything else is dropped. No win rates, no tier lists: coaching, not statistics.
