She has no built in sustain, so any damage dealt by jungle camps is essentially permanent.
Neither do
(this list is probably short, as I do not study who can/can not jungle. If you count those with shields, but no healing, that list is even greater.). But then again, that might be why we have
and the new
.
She's squishy, so jungle camps technically hit her harder than others.
Because obviously she will not compare to the tank junglers(actually, she starts with more ar than Zac and Amumu, and is .04 away from Warwick, but they have greater scalings), let's compare her to her fellow marksmen junglers during the first clear.
24 base, +3 growth
24.376 base, +3.4 growth (don't forget the 5 ar from his e)
24.3, +3.75 growth
23.04, +3 growth
23.38, +3.5 growth
20, +3.5 growth
(he was done as Jungle a while ago, but Im not sure if that is the case anymore. However, his armor has not been changed since then) 19.88, +3.5 growth
On a related note
*Of these, who has built in sustain?
None.
*Who has aoe?
with 2 aoe skills, and 3 autos becoming aoe after using a spell = 5 instances that she can do aoe damage, which is a ton of aoe...
q+autos
does his poison count(attacking once to allow the poison to tick and switching)? Lets go with 1/2 a spell, as it only does 26 damage to start.
q is aoe. That is about it.
q+w.
His e. But I don't think that is the spell that is maxed first.
his e and w(only applies his poison though, which sets up his e)
Xayah actually has more aoe than all of them, except for Graves due to his every attack being aoe. Lots of AOE = fast clears = potentially a good jungler
Her biggest weakness is chasing people, so how do you people expect to gank with her?
Same way I imagine most jungler's do when they don't have great cc by themselves, hope that the laner does, or come in from behind. But she also has better cc than the rest of her marksman competition, as she has a root(which can be proced by q+ auto -> e) while the rest have nearsighted, a blind, or just a slow(though Kindred's is actually a good %, Kog, not so much)
