Top Udyr Thoughts?
Was just wondering about a top udyr.
Try and build tear then tanky. After that build essencereaver and manamune and keep muramana's toggle up for longer. Botrk. more tanky.

IMO Q start is better for level 1 cheese, Q, wait a bit, auto for proc then Q auto again to get them 1/3 health
I'd rather not wait ten minutes for my powerspike on Udyr, thanks.
Jax is pretty weak early game though, I'd take Q on anyone who is easy to bully I.E riven, jax, mundo level 1
Saturn,
Lots of people below are giving the advice that I'm about to say, so I hope we all help you. Trick2 plays Udyr top a lot. He's hilarious with it too... enemies have to fight to catch him.
In addition, there's a lot of builds out there, not one of them recommends tear on Udyr. Most people either start Trinity or Sunfire/Randuins first (based on their enemy), maybe Bork. No one really starts tear.

For top udyr myself it depends on who i am playing against, lets say im against a Jax, i would probably start Q over R, why? Q hits faster than R does, Since Jax does alot of dammage in a small time i rather have 15 hits of (let say 80) than 12 of (lets say 90) If u are playing safe, and wanting to clear minion waves fast; i would upgrade R.
But IMO i like Udyr junlge more than Top since u can roam and still backdoor turrets.
I'm not a fan of tear on Udyr. When I took him top, I typically used the following build, with some variations:
Items: 
or 
, 
, 
, 
, 
or 
, 
or 
Runes: MS Quints, Atk Spd Marks, Armor Seals, MR Glyphs
Masteries: 21/0/9 or 0/21/9 or 21/9/0 or 9/21/0
Skill Order: R>W>E>Q
Summoner Spells: Teleport and (Ghost or Flash)
I prefer Phoenix Stance on Udyr over Tiger Stance for a few reasons:
- It is better at quickly pushing the wave, allowing you to proxy farm and split-push with ease
- It keeps a passive counter so you don't have to keep reactivating it for damage
- It is longer ranged which allows you to harass the enemy while last-hitting minions without using mana
- Phoenix Stance deals more damage than Tiger Stance when you don't have items and it is AoE. Since I build Udyr primarily as a tank, Phoenix Stance lets me have more impact in teamfights and duels.
- You get a burst of damage on your first AA after activating Phoenix Stance and on every third hit afterwards. You can queue up an Phoenix proc, AA, R, AA for a good burst of damage.
