Statistical Matchup Analysis

Balanced meta clash: Udyr (2.3%, 35th place out of 54 Jungle champions) regularly faces Naafiri (2.4%, 33rd place). Both champions hold solid meta positions, making this matchup knowledge a direct path to climbing and improving your win rate. Meta strength confirmed: Udyr's superior tier rating (B+ vs B) translates into a solid 52.3% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Udyr ranks 28th in win rate among Jungle champions. Optimize for consistency: Celerity paired with Waterwalking (61.9% win rate, 4.0% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Liandry's Torment > Dead Man's Plate > Spirit Visage with Boots of Swiftness delivers 57.6% win rate against Naafiri.

Lane dominance: Udyr not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (6.23/min vs 5.96 for Naafiri). This 0.27 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Udyr wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (576 vs 590/min), the 52.3% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Udyr wins the matchup (52.3%) despite a lower KDA (2.50 vs 2.90). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Naafiri as Udyr (Jungle)

The Udyr versus Naafiri matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Udyr deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Naafiri deals mainly physical damage (91.37%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Udyr is higher farming statistics (ranked 21st among role champions) (versus 27th for Naafiri), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.9 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Udyr Jungle versus Naafiri Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Udyr player to maintain constant pressure on Naafiri, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
