Phoenix Stance (R) maximization is first priority, followed by Turtle Stance (W), Bear Stance (E), and Tiger Stance (Q). This order provides optimal balance between damage output and survivability.

Starting items for Udyr jungle should always include Emberknife for efficient jungle clear and a Refillable Potion for sustain. Early game focuses on farming efficiently and looking for gank opportunities using Bear Stance's mobility.

The core build path focuses on AP bruiser items early game, transitioning into full tank items for late game scaling:

• Start with Emberknife + Refillable Potion
• Rush Demonic Embrace for damage and tankiness
• Build Sunfire Aegis as core mythic item
• Follow with defensive items based on enemy composition:
  • Spirit Visage against AP threats
  • Dead Man's Plate against AD threats
  • Force of Nature for magic resistance
  • Thornmail against heavy healing teams

Skill sequence:

1. Q-level 1 (highest single target damage)
2. R-level 2 (AoE clear)
3. W-level 3 (sustain)
4. E-level 4 (mobility/ganking)

Max order: R > W > E > Q

Early game priority is efficient jungle clearing while maintaining high health through proper stance dancing between Phoenix (R) for damage and Turtle (W) for sustain. Look for ganking opportunities when Bear Stance (E) is available, especially on overextended lanes.

Key gameplay tips:

• Use Phoenix Stance for camp clearing
• Maintain shield uptime with Turtle Stance
• Bear Stance for ganking and escaping
• Weave abilities for maximum passive benefit
• Focus on objective control with strong single target damage
• Late game, act as frontline tank while disrupting enemy backline
