From the ever exceptional music production team at Riot comes a mythical, nomadic yet tranquil theme worthy of the embodiment of primal animal spirits
Udyr is the latest League champion to get a complete makeover
Released way back in December 2, 2009, Udyr is one of the first champions ever to endear us to the world of Runeterra. However being one of the first releases comes at its own cost, for years the champion’s VGU had been obsolete and his kit disharmonious with the rest of the game.
League community collectively voted Udyr as the champion to be updated in February 2021. Seeing the mighty Godlike being reduced to appearing like a homeless hobo on the streets of Florida has evidently debased his awesome theme and saddened his loyal fanbase.
The new rework promises to breathe a gale of fresh air into the fearsome primal being. Riot has already teased Udyr’s reworked gameplay, which we have covered in more details.
The champion’s reworked skill set
Passive – Spirit Walker
Awakened Spirit: Udyr has four basic Abilities that swap between Stances. Udyr can re-cast his stance during its cooldown to Awaken it, refreshing it with bonus effects.
