Need some jungle champ help!

Hey there! So I've really liked jungling and the last season I primarily did WW, Yi, Vi, and Pantheon jungle. With the new jungle I'm having way more fun with Pantheon and WW. But I was thinking of attempting to learn Udyr since he's one of the junglers I have the hardest times dealing with, and just understanding how his champion mechanics work would be awesome! Plus I have read his kit and I sort of love it!

I have tried playing him several times in bot games, and regular normals and I'm horrid until I get a few items. Granted I'm going trailblazer - devourer for much faster clears, but thinking the stalker - devourer would be a better option to simply shorten the potential of a chase happening.

Anyhow, if anyone is willing to help me out and give me some pointers I would much appreciate it!

Udyr is one of my best JG.

the wonderful thing about udyr is his versatility. meaning you can almost build anything you want and it will work. you can Tank, Assassinate, go Bruiser. AD even Ap build can work with him too. you can literally build him based on the games situation.

My personal preference though is high burst AD fighter. maximising Bear and tigar stances, followed by pheonix, respectively. while having at least 1 point in turtle stance for life steal.

I use Boots of swiftness, trinitys force, and wits end. trinity and bear stance allowed you to not only outrun almost any opponent but the early pre 6 ganks are brutal. activating a stance procs trinitys every time, so playing piano with your stances maximise the damage output you deal.

run into lane with bear, land your stun, then switch to tigar stance to burst down there HP, then finish them off with phoenix. If you run into a tight spot hit your turtle for the shield, dis-engage, followed by bear stance for the escape back into the jungle.

For tanking, maximize turtle and bear, followed by phonix, build for the situation.

though I don't recommend AP unless there are no on your team other than the support. but If you like too. then max phoenix, and turtle, followed by bear. good items are nashor's tooth, sorc boots, and wits end. ROA, iceborn gauntlets, abyssal scepter if you want to be a tanky AP.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that som people prefer to max Phoenix first and built Attack Speed items. like wits end and Blade of the ruined king. this is a good one as well and phoenix has a high damage output.
