i've always killed the smaller parts of the camp before tackling the big one (ie the small parts of blue and red, the small chickens) but i just realized that i have no proof that it actually makes my clear faster and it could be all in my head.
is your first clear better if you kill the smaller ones first?
ThatCoolBacon1 votesit really depends on the champ, like kha clears super fast if you take out the little guys first, but for an aoe jungler like skarner amumu pheonix udyr its better to hit the main guy and the little guys get low in the process. however if you do kill the little ones first which are easier, they will stop attacking you sooner so you would take slightly less damage at each camp, thats why you see alot of pro junglers kill the little chickens first because they hurt so much.
shyv1 votesi main shyvana jungle so when it comes to chickens i don't need to autoattack them, an e w combo will kill them all, but with red / blue / wolves, you lose less health if you kill the little ones first right? im not making this up? lol

Pretty sure her aoe clear makes it a moot point. Only worry about it when you use a champ with more single target damage.
shyv1 votesbesides the chickens because i know i dont need to attack them to kill them, ive always killed the little parts of the camps first just because they annoy me.........
ThatCoolBacon1 votesfor shyvana, it doesnt really help her, because you just wanna clear the bigger guy and it will normally take 2 burnouts to clear it, which would also kill the little guys in most other camps, and it makes it a little slower to hit the little guys 2-3 times each, o not so much worth it to do on shyvana.
Dediguise1 votesAs lee I kill the little chickens first on my first clear. For later clears I might trade a few autos on them so that they die to my E. The big thing is to make sure to use the passive stun form golems on the big one in between killing the little ones. I also tend to clear chickens as my second camp so that I have smite for red and can outplay a jungle invade. Hope that helps.
