Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.3% popularity, Udyr constantly encounters meta-dominant Nocturne (7.0%, 6th place out of 54 Jungle champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Udyr performance in the current patch. Optimize for consistency: Phase Rush paired with Axiom Arcanist (57.5% win rate, 6.2% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Liandry's Torment > Dead Man's Plate > Mejai's Soulstealer with Boots of Swiftness delivers 78.0% win rate against Nocturne.

Lane dominance: Udyr not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (6.23/min vs 5.80 for Nocturne). This 0.43 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 635/min), the 51.7% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Udyr wins the matchup (51.7%) despite a lower KDA (2.50 vs 2.80). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Nocturne as Udyr (Jungle)

While statistically Udyr is slightly stronger than Nocturne in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Udyr deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Nocturne deals mainly physical damage (85.01%), 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 34th for Nocturne), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Udyr Jungle versus Nocturne 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 Nocturne, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Udyr tips:

  • Damage is applied to turtle shield post-mitigation. Therefore, buying defensive items can drastically increase your survivability.
  • Udyr is one of the best junglers in the game. Taking advantage of this can give your team a large XP advantage and map control.

Playing Against Nocturne

  • Stay close to your allies when Paranoia is cast - there is strength in numbers!
  • Nocturne's Unspeakable Horror is broken with range, so try to save your movement abilities for when he casts it.
