Tanks with continuous hard cc are very dangerous to this build, as you aren't too tanky. Only engage on tanks if you know they're alone.

Introduction
Hecarim, the scary pony. Hecarim in my eyes is one of the most mobile and overpowered champions right now. His base damages are insanely high, and his utility is also high. I have been playing Hecarim when he was super meta in the middle of season 7, but when he fell off, I still played him as a niche jungler. I started playing him using his most common build, Trinity Force into full tank. However, I felt like I could do more, so I added a Youmuu's Ghostblade into the mix, along with some other items with carry potential. It feels nice to have some extra damage in your kit, compared to the boring full tank build. Furthermore, with the addition of the new runes, you get a nice speed buff from Predator. PS: If I forgot something super obvious in my guide, please message me to add them. Thanks <3
Summary
Pros / Cons
Demolishes Squishies
Runs fast, good at roaming
40% CDR early in game
Monstrous if ahead
Still useful late-game to dive backline
Cons
Somewhat squishy before finishing cinderhulk
Won't survive diving into 5 enemies (usually)
Runes Reforged
Predator
Predator is a nice buff to hecarim, as it gives him even more speed for his increase in AD
Sudden Impact
The only other important rune for this snowballing build. You can take all of the other stacking runes that follow in the Domination Rune path, but Sudden Impact's tenacity boost and damage boost is really good for your charges and initiations.
Eyeball Collection Eyeball Collection allows you to snowball even faster after nabbing a couple kills.
Relentless Hunter Relentless Hunter gives you more speed the more kills you get. The more base movespeed you have, the higher your AD will grow because of Warpath.
Unflinching Unflinching combined with Ghost allows you to run through most cc and at least reach your desired target.
Overgrowth Still probably the closest thing to strength of the ages. Farming the jungle allows you to get free extra health to add onto your bulk, and subsequently make your Cinderhulk stronger.

Starting Items
Hunter's Talisman
Generic Starting Item for hecarim, start blue side or else you will run out of mana
Refillable Potion
Do NOT buy normal Health Potions in the jungle, Refillable Potion is much more cost efficient
Skirmisher's Sabre
Most hecarim guides tell you to buy Stalker's Blade to be more sticky, but this build is mainly for killing people, build Skirmisher's Sabre for more burst and better dueling.
Core Items
Trinity Force
This is your most important item. It gives you some of the fast jungle clear speeds in the game, and allows you start destroying the squishies with the Sheen damage along with the Devastating Charge damage.
Skirmisher's Sabre Enchantment: Cinderhulk
Enchantment: Cinderhulk is still the best jg item that hecarim can get. Enchantment: Warrior would give Hecarim more burst for sure, but he would be extremely squishy.
Boots of Swiftness
Gotta go fast. Switch out for Mercury's Treads when you want to have a little more cc resistance.
Youmuu's Ghostblade
This amazing item gives Hecarim movespeed, which in turn gives him more AD because of Warpath. With his bonus damage, Hecarim can safely one-shot most of the squishy champions. And, they won't be able to run away, because Ghost, Youmuu's Ghostblade, and Devastating Charge makes Hecarim one of the fastest champions in the game.
Optional Items
Quicksilver Sash
This item is great for passing through single hard cc that could possibly stop your charge. For example, Twisted Fate gold card and Xerath stun. You can even run right past Veigar's Event Horizon, leading to an easy kill. Turn it into a Mercurial Scimitar if you have nothing better to do with your gold.
Dead Man's Plate/
Edge of Night
Buy either one of them for more resistances if you don't want to be shredded as fast. Dead Man's Plate is also good if you want even more movement speed. Edge of Night for the additional spell shield.
Guardian Angel
For the late game, gives you another chance if you messed up somehow.
Sterak's Gage
Only get this item if you are really ahead and can afford to lack some resistances so you can hit harder.
