Win Condition
Dictate the map pace with superior clear speed. Use your early lead to secure Neutral Objectives. In late game, either peel for your carries using and slows, or find an isolated carry and delete them with recast .
Playstyle
A versatile juggernaut who adapts to any situation. You control the pace of the game through fast clears and relentless pressure. You aren't just a tank; you're a disruption machine that dictates where fights happen by alternating between high sustain, hard CC, and area-of-effect damage.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- +Insane clear speed using and attack speed procs
- +Extreme flexibility—can pivot between a tanky disruptor or a single-target shredder
- +High stickiness and CC immunity using recast
- +Elite objective control due to high sustain from and solo-kill potential with
Weaknesses
- -Easily kited by high-mobility kits if recast is misused
- -No traditional 'ultimate'—relies on consistent stance management over one big impact button
- -High mana consumption if stances are spammed without purpose in early skirmishes
- -Passive reliant—without , your individual abilities are weaker than most modern champions
Abilities
Every ability swap gives you 2 fast autos. Recasting an ability (Awaken) is your primary decision-making tool. Use it on for teamfights or for 1v1s. Manage the cooldown of carefully; it's your most powerful weapon.
Your primary 1v1 tool. It gives attack speed and bonus damage. Recasting calls down lightning—this is most effective when the target is isolated from minions, as the lightning will hit them repeatedly.
Your survival button. Gives a shield and lifesteal on the next two hits. Recasting provides a massive shield and restores health over time based on your max HP. Use this to bait enemies when you appear low on health.
Your only mobility and CC. You stun targets on the first hit. Recasting makes you unstoppable and grants a massive burst of speed. Use the recast to run through CC like Veigar's cage or Morgana's root.
Your clearing and teamfighting tool. Creates a glacial storm that slows. Recasting releases the storm to track enemies and deal extra damage. This is your primary tool for sticking to targets while dealing consistent AOE damage.
Teamfight Role
Frontline Disruptor and Peeler
Your job is to be an annoyance. Use to stun anyone diving your backline, then use recast to slow the entire enemy team. You are a 'drain tank' that uses to soak focus fire while your team cleans up.
If you are built for AD/Lethality, your role swaps to an Assassin; wait for CC to be blown, then use recast to one-shot a priority target.
Combos
Standard Gank
-> auto (stun) -> -> auto auto -> recast
Engage with movement speed, land the stun to lock them in place, then drop the storm and empower it to ensure they cannot escape the slow zone.
Duelist Burst
-> auto (stun) -> recast -> auto auto
The highest single-target damage combo. Stun the target so they can't run, then unleash the Awakened lightning immediately for maximum physical damage.
The Unstoppable Dive
recast -> auto (stun) -> -> auto auto
Use this when running through enemy CC or under a tower. The recast E prevents you from being stopped, and the W ensures you have the shield to soak the trade.
Teamfight Lockdown
(hit multiple targets) -> recast ->
Run through the fight stunning different priority targets with , then drop the Awakened storm to disrupt the entire team while staying alive with W.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | Starting gives you one of the fastest level 1 clears in the jungle, allowing for early invades or full clears. |
| Level 4 | You have access to all four stances and two points in your primary damage ability ( or ), making you a tier-1 skirmisher. |
| Level 9 | Your primary damage stance is fully maxed, maximizing your mid-game pressure and objective take speed. |
| Level 16 | The cooldown on is significantly reduced, allowing you to use Awakened abilities multiple times in a single extended teamfight. |
Tips & Tricks
- •Always weave exactly two auto attacks between stance swaps to maximize the passive attack speed and stance-specific on-hit effects.
- •The recast makes you immune to CC—buffer it right before getting hit by a skillshot like Blitzcrank hook to nullify it.
- •Recast tracks the target you were targeting when you cast it; if they Flash, the storm will follow them automatically.
- •Isolated targets take massive damage from recast . If fighting in a wave, use to clear minions first so the lightning hits only the champion.
- •You can use while retreating to gain a shield and heal off jungle plants or monsters without committing to a full fight.
- •Watch the white bar under your health—that is your cooldown. Never hard-engage if that bar isn't ready.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Spamming recast inside a minion wave→The lightning bounces to minions, losing over 50% of your potential burst damage on the enemy champion.
- ✕Clipping your auto attacks by swapping stances too fast→You lose the empowered effects of , resulting in significantly lower DPS and less healing/shielding.
- ✕Using recast before the enemy uses their dash→They can easily jump out of the storm's radius, wasting your most powerful teamfighting tool.
- ✕Neglecting in close 1v1s→You might lose a fight you could have won by simply using the recast W shield and max HP heal to out-sustain the opponent.
- ✕Engaging without available→Udyr has no dashes; without the MS boost from E, you will be kited and killed before reaching the target.
