Spells

Cursed Touch (Passive)

's basic attacks cause 10% of all magic damage dealt to the target (before resists) to be dealt again as true damage.

The Passive gives you a huge teamfight potential. Try to AA each nearby enemy Champion once, to get full potential of . Note that your W refreshes the passive effect.

Details

Bandage Toss (Q)

Throws a bandage to target location. If it hits an enemy unit, will pull himself to the enemy, stun them for 1 second, and deal 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (+70% of ability power) magic damage.

This is your gap closer and obviously your most important ganking skill! Notice, it's a skillshot. Use for engaging and then save it up for catching low enemies, trying to disengage.

Details

Despair (W)

Toggle: Nearby enemies take 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 magic damage plus 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 % (+1% per 100 ability power) of their maximum health each second. Ticks for half the damage every half-second.
refreshes on all enemies hit.

will give you a nice teamfight potential and works extremely well with items like or .

Details

Tantrum (E)

Passive: takes 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 reduced damage from physical attacks.
Active: deals 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 / 175 (+50% of ability power) magic damage to surrounding units. Each time is hit by an autoattack, the cooldown on 's active is reduced by 0.5 seconds.

This ability counters attack-speed based champions (like or ). It also makes it very easy to clear the .

Details

Curse of the Sad Mummy (R)

entangles surrounding enemy units, rendering them unable to move or use basic attacks for 2 seconds, dealing 150 / 250 / 350 (+80% of ability power) magic damage to them upfront.
applies to enemies after the damage is dealt.

This ability can change teamfights and the whole game. Don't cast it too early, nor too late! Wait until you are sure you will effect at least 4 to 3 enemies or when you have to protect yourself/allies! It has a very high cooldown.

For , I've chosen the Resolve tree combined with Sorcery. It is obvious, that profits most of Resolve when going full tank and ist even very useful when you are trying some off tank sh*t. But the few extra AP of Sorcery are also really useful.

Resolve

The keystone should be or . isn't really useful in jungle. I like because it protects you from some burst damage (especially when you're ganking mid) and can add some needed extra damage aswell after that.

You shouldn't take . Again, this is a rune, which is considered for poke lanes. It won't proc in your jungle! Therefore you can decide between or . Because I recommend not to splitpush with and nearly always stay with your Team, you should go for . It procs on all enemies (hopefully all 5) you're hitting with , which gives your Team some extra healing, which can decide between winning or losing an important teamfight.

I always pick for full tank because the extra flat resistances in early game are Pretty useful when you're going full tank and in late the 5% scaling is just great. But you can also think of when you want to go off tank. Looking at my (tanky) damage build, I have to say that some extra AP aren't that bad ^^

For a jungler, is very cool, because you can easily proc it with your (or when you're very self-confident and don't mind your allies "signaling missing enemies"). is useless because you have no shields (except you're going for ) or heals.

Sorcery

I just love , especially in jungle. You will get a faster clear and more successful ganks.

has such a great synergy with . Nothing left to say.

Skill Sequence

Ability Sequence
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18

Mainly you can decide between maxing or . Most People are going for because they want to reduce ist cooldown. I think, will be more effective for your jungle clear. If you have played a few times, you should also be able to handle the high cooldown of in laning phase.

Therefore, I max second. It grants you lower cooldown, which is needed because you have no mobility without .

I think it's obvious, that you skill whenever you can ;)

Jungle Clear / Jungle Routes

If you want to gank.

If you want your farm.

I mainly start at , to get . Then I usually do and after this, I have to decide wether I take the rest of my jungle or start ganking.

Only start ganking, if you see some real opportunities, to do a successful gank. If all lanes are pushed or your allies are pretty weak, go for the rest of your jungle.

I made two videos of the safe jungle clear for better understanding :) They are from Season 7 but - for - Nothing really changed yet.

Blue Team.

Red Team.
