Bring Ghost/Ignite for kill potential

Relic Shield: stay in turtle all the time, AA each minion once for a tiny bit of sustain and use Relic charges when possible. When you have an opening, bear to stun then drop a Tiger proc. This'll take 1/4 health if you're lucky. Once enemy is poked down, go all in with ghost+bear, tiger, ignite, more tiger

Upgrade Relic ASAP, more gold income so you can carry from support.

Grab tier 1/2 boots, start building triforce

Roam with sheen and fuck up some bitches. Gank as if you were jungle 'dyr

Once triforce is done, you have options. If they have a tank or two, get cleaver or BoRK. If you need to be tanky, grab Maw or Frozen Mallet. If you want to be a damage carry, get BoRK and Guinsoo's. Finish any of the builds with Frozen Heart/Visage etc. Feel free to sell your support item for the offensive build if you want a second tank item, but make sure to grab blue trinket so you can still ward.

I've played like this a few times, and we even win lane against long ranged poke. No one expects the crazy damage from a double Q proc, bear, Q early game. If you can hide in the bush to get behind a carry, this combo will easily chunk half of their health early on.

Your general engage combo will go something like this:

Bear to stun ADC/Support, depending on the champs (for example, always focus soraka first) then Q. Usually takes a few seconds for enemies to realize how much damage you do. If they try to fight, turtle until you can stun or Q again. The kill potential with Udyr and a carry is outrageous early on, and Udyr is one of the few off-meta supports I've tried that can still carry the game as if he were a jungler or laner.

Try it out, you might be surprised.

alternatively you can start tiger with ghost ignite and just run them the fuck down at level 1.

I was gonna share my secret strategy but I wanted to keep it secret.... I normally do this in the jungle but it works as support as well.

In the jungle, it goes like this

If you are blue team, go straight to the bush by the enemy's wolves. Take the wolves with a double q proc (no smite) and then a 3rd Q. Proc another Q, get bear for level 2, then wait in the bush until they nearly finish blue. Smite it, then hit them with both q procs, a stun, and maybe a 3rd Q and you have first blood. I bring ghost/smite just in case, plus ghost makes for better ganks. For red team, do the same thing but with raptors on the enemy side.

I've done this with support, and for some odd reason I got level 2 off the camp the first time but not the second time. Either way, you can still get a double q proc and the ignite makes up for the lack of stun. Ghost if necessary. Support first blood, now go fuck botlane.
