Jungling Routes Guide
Blue Side (Good for Manaless Champions or Champions who don't have high mana costs)
Blue side is and advantage for manaless champions or champions who rely on attack speed such as
,
, and
.
(Start Bottom Side Jungle)
Start Krugs with bot lane leash (Smite for the stun passive you get from krugs)
Go to Raptors and kill off the small raptors first before attacking the Big Raptor because the smaller raptors hurts a lot. Unless you got aoe clear such as
. Make sure the smaller raptors are low enough, so you can kill them with your next aoe ability while focusing on the big raptor.
Go to Red and your smite should be close to being off cooldown unless you use the summoner spell cooldown mastery, it should already be off cooldown, depending on how fast you cleared krugs and raptors. Ward your bush that is near red for vision in case the other jungler might invade with champions such as
,
,
, or even
. Smite red for the health and clear the camp.
(Optional) After clearing red, you can go for the scuttle crab near dragon pit. I encourage you to take it early if the other jungler is going to build devourer.
(Optional) Gank mid lane if it's pushed towards your side and you know the opposing mid laner will die or burn
.
(Optional) Gank bot lane if it's pushed towards your side and you know the opposing bot laners will die or burn
.
Go to wolves and clear it. You can kill off the big wolf first because the smaller wolves don't do as much damage as small raptors. Go to blue and your smite should be up to smite it for a faster clear.
(Optional) You can take scuttle crab near baron pit for vision and for regenerating your health if its low. Beware for the other jungler! Because the junglers on red side would usually recall after red or wolves. (Optional) Gank mid lane (Optional) Gank top lane
Clear gromp camp and then recall to upgrade jungle item, buy boots, and potions.
(Optional) If you want to afk farm for 1850 gold to upgrade into devourer. The Raptor camp should have respawned, go clear it, then go clear krugs. You can also gank mid or bot lane, but beware, they could've recalled and gotten items that can 100-0 you. Only gank if you know you won't die.
After recalling, you should stay near the wolves and raptor camps and ward dragon every now and then because it gives you a faster route to gank other lanes.
Red Side (For Champions who run out of mana fast)
In my opinion Red Side jungle destroys champions who have no sustain or champions who don't deal heavy damage early such as
,
,
, and
. Making them recall earlier than if they were on Blue side.
Start at gromp with bot lane leashing and use smite on it early for the poison passive. Unless you are scared your leashers might steal it, you can smite execute it instead. Clear blue and then head to Wolves. Recall after wolves if your low. Upgrade your jungle item and buy potions if you can.
(Optional) After blue you can kill scuttlecrab for extra gold and xp, it also gives you time to regen hp, which may allow you to have enough health after clearing wolf camp to head straight to red. (Optional) Gank mid lane or gank bot lane. You will still be lv 2 if you didn't clear wolf camp after scuttle. So, be careful.
Head to red and clear it using smite for a faster clear and hp. (Optional) Gank top lane (Optional) Gank mid lane (Optional) Take scuttle crab near baron pit Clear raptors and after ganking a few lanes recall to get better items.
