Trax, The Bushwacker

Trax and his trusty dog Tupper are a melee jungling duo, focusing their strengths on powerful ganks and team wide utility. With his abilities, he can ensure his team is always on time when arriving at objectives, can aid in taking down high priority targets, and give his teammates some unique mobility options.

After covering enough distance on foot, Trax gets hungry and eats some trail mix. This heals him a small amount and causes him to regenerate some health over time.

Trail markers do not grant vision, and can be destroyed by enemies.

First Attack - Trax lunges his machete forward, dealing moderate damage to enemies in a line.

Second Attack - Trax lights a flare and releases it directly in front of him, dealing damage to enemies in a cone.

Third Attack - Trax grabs his hatchet and goes for one opponents vital organs, severely damaging them.

Trax equips his trusty crossbow and fires a bolt with a line attached to it. The bolt will hit terrain or enemy champions. After the bolt hits a target, Trax creates a zip line, allowing one ally to travel to the struck location.

Playstyle

Trax is a gank and supportive focused jungler. On his initial clear, he’ll start marking trails to increase his mobility for future clears. Marking a trails to lanes means he can continue to repeat gank to try to get his allies ahead. His gank initiation is fairly safe, but is reliant on hitting a skill shot.

Once he hits level 6, his ganks become much more interesting - His ultimate allows him or an ally to initiate a gank, or he can use it to help a teammate escape. Continuing to place trail markers means that his team can quickly get to objectives before the enemy, giving your entire squad an upperhand.

Trax is very vulnerable to counter jungling, and is not inherently tanky, so falling behind is a concern. Although your trail marks are always useful, if you have no jungle control they won’t survive long enough to be used.
