Malzahar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

Farming
8.2Malzahar
6.3Udyr

Damage
1,130Malzahar
608Udyr
Malzahar heavily out-damages Udyr by 522 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Udyr should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Malzahar's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
14,686Malzahar
12,163Udyr
Malzahar generates a commanding 2,523 more gold per game than Udyr. This substantial economic advantage means Malzahar consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
2.2Malzahar
0.9Udyr
Malzahar brings significantly more crowd control than Udyr, with 1.3 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Malzahar far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
594Malzahar
1,968Udyr
Udyr vastly out-sustains Malzahar, healing and mitigating 1,373 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Udyr can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Malzahar is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Malzahar, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
