In the meta of TFT Set 15, finding a unique strategy to dominate matches is key to winning. Udyr, the 5-cost champion with powerful shapeshifting abilities, is emerging as a potential powerhouse, capable of carrying the entire map if built correctly. The Udyr Big Form team, combining the strength of Duelists and Titans, is an innovative strategy that many high-ranking players are relying on.
Overview of Udyr Big Form Team
Firstly, this team composition does not require many high-cost champions, but focuses all resources on Udyr. Duelist champions will serve as valuable support pieces, increasing attack speed and turning Udyr into a true “monster” on the battlefield.
In this team, Udyr will be the main carry, acting as both a tank and a massive damage source. Champions like Ashe, Viego, and Lee Sin will help activate traits and provide attack speed for the entire team while also boosting Udyr’s damage.
Building the Udyr Big Form Team
For Udyr to maximize his power, it is essential to acquire core items. Players should prioritize items that enhance survivability and physical damage.
Early Game
Objective: Maintain health and accumulate gold. Don’t attempt to roll too early.
Playstyle: Build a strong team with low-cost Duelist champions like Kayle and Kai’Sa/Gangplank. These champions can temporarily hold items for Udyr, Ashe, and Lee Sin. Since the team revolves around champions costing 3 gold and above, players should focus on conserving gold to upgrade their team over time instead of hyper rolling.
Mid Game
Players will need to reach level 6 early to increase the chances of rolling Udyr, who is a 3-cost champion. At this stage, having the basic framework completed will give players an early advantage to secure wins. This is not only to maintain health but also to maximize gold income. Additionally, since Udyr, a 3-cost champion, is strong, upgrading him will not be easy. Players can roll faster during this stage.
Late Game
The objective in this stage is to add quality damage sources to support Udyr while upgrading him to 3 stars. This is a team composition that does not heavily rely on 5-cost champions, but having Lee Sin will ensure high rankings for players. If possible, reaching level 8 or 9 will make it easier to upgrade Ashe or Lee Sin to 2 stars.
Optimal team composition at level 8: Gangplank – Lee Sin – Zac – Udyr – Viego – Kayle – Kai’Sa – Ashe.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The Udyr Big Form team is a strong and worthwhile option in the current meta. Although this playstyle carries high risk due to reliance on upgrading a 3-cost champion to 3 stars, if successful, the power it brings is overwhelmingly dominant.
Strengths: Huge damage and survivability; can easily turn the tide of battle.
Weaknesses: Reliant on items and luck; vulnerable to control or heavy burst damage compositions.
