Basic AS jungler build for newbies.

I've been using this build for my junglers for awhile now, and it genuinely pays off quite a bit. But primarily only for Udyr, Xin Zhao, Vi, or Warwick, as these champs have ideal skill sets for this build to shine. It's based off high sustain, longevity, and damage output. I'll just give the full 6 items in order of which I believe they should be purchased, with 2 possible variants of the build due to circumstance.

  1. Stalker's Blade - Devourer. (stalker's blade to allow you to use your smite to steal move speed away from an enemy)
  2. Blade of the Ruined King.
  3. Spirit Visage (For tankiness)
  4. Trinity Force (For killingness)
  5. Guardian Angel (Also for tankiness and engaging.)
  6. Boots of Swiftness - Alacrity. (Gotta go fast m8.)

Spirit visage is great to use VS tanks because of the healing and tankiness given back to you. Also the MR is always appreciated. But if you're up against a more squishy, AD oriented team. You can switch Visage out for a Hydra, for more flat life steal and AD.

This build revolves around the 4 previously mentioned junglers mainly based off their skill sets giving attack speed, mobility, and sustain (except for Vi, who doesn't get heal from her kits.)

In my current match history, as jungler with this build in mind, i've gone 7 wins, 1 loss. And the loss had me at 7-6-9 KDA.

It's a pretty solid build, and should help people get away from the nasty "recommended items" lists.

While BoTrK isn't awful, Guinsoo's is probably a better choice to rush after devourer's because it's pretty good right now. I would also include deadman's; the MS and the small slow are decent for ganks, and it's overall a pretty solid armor choice on anyone.

Guinsoo's Rageblade is probably better for Xin Zhao that Blade of the Ruined King. Healing 100+ HP every second basic attack is fantastic and it provides the waveclear he lacks.

Udyr is probably better with Trinity Force than Blade of the Ruined King due to his synergy with Spellblade and movement speed.

While Vi can be played with Devourer, it's typically more efficient to build her with AD. Quite frankly, Warrior + Trinity Force or Titanic Hydra + Deadman's Plate would offer significantly more sticking power and burst damage.

Warwick has rather poor synergy with Trinity Force. Frozen Heart would probably be a better option for the additional durability (making his sustain more valuable).

Also, that build provides almost no armor for the majority of the game.

Quite frankly, that build is rather poor on all of them. There are more efficient builds for each of them which offer significantly better synergy with their kit and role.
