Udyr: stance buffs and durable attackers

Udyr wins with repeated stance buffs; players differ on immediate spell buffs, champion protection and the later duplication payoff. This is a six-star Secret Technique, Hidden Tome and Black Shield setup: it values earlier spell mana and protected allies. A Chemtech Duplicator version is covered below: it needs the champion and its mana threshold.

Secret Technique

Power: When an ally gains stats from a spell, it gains twice that many instead.

Buff spells provide a larger stat payoff. The value is in repeatedly casting the ally buffs used by this plan, rather than merely equipping it on a large champion.

Hidden Tome

Power: When you play or level up a champion, refill your spell mana.

The play and level-up refill enables spells on the turn you establish the champion. A summon without the relevant trigger does not automatically supply that refill.

Black Shield

Power: When you summon an ally, grant it Spellshield.

Team Spellshield protects the board from one hostile spell or Skill each. It gives setup time but must not be treated as permanent immunity after the shield is consumed.

Use Stance Swap on an ally you can keep alive. At three stars the target grows and the first stance play on an ally each round makes it strike the weakest enemy. Choose a stance for the actual need: a combat keyword for connection, healing for a damaged engine, or a damage effect when it secures removal.

Stat amplification rewards repeated buffs and team protection preserves the investment. The six-star upgrade replaces the stance spell and changes its speed; do not assume the upgraded spell is available at three stars.

Keep cheap stance access and a unit that can survive to receive the buffs. Spell discounts and spell-mana refills let you spend more actions on the stance engine. Save an upgraded Burst stance for the enemy turn when its chosen effect answers an attacker; do not spend every stance on raw stats while a dangerous board remains.

Another version runs Frozen Tomb, Secret Technique and Chemtech Duplicator. The delayed summon supplies Udyr without spending that round's unit mana; duplication becomes valuable once he is in play and you meet the relic's six-mana condition. It can also duplicate interaction, rather than only ally buffs.

Or use Innervating Locket for protection and sustain alongside stat amplification and duplication. Players debate faster champion deployment versus keeping Spellshield. Larger stats alone do not stop Silence or removal after the shield is consumed.

It's unclear in which order the fourth-star spell-stat bonus and Secret Technique stack. Treat both as their stated effects and check the resulting preview rather than assuming they multiply every bonus together.

Stance Mastery III

Your Stance Swap are replaced with Mastered Stance Swap. Your Mastered Stance Swap accelerate to Burst.
