Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on surviving early clears and avoid river fights before level 6 due to weak dueling and invade resistance.
Prioritize reaching level 6 to unlock camouflage and high gank threat for pick potential.
Use stealth and AP scaling to punish overextended lanes and create cross-map pressure post-6.

Jungle Plan

Full clear safely, then path through fog of war to flank pushed or isolated lanes after level 6.
Contest Scuttle only when allied lanes can move first to avoid Zyra's poke and root setups.
Prioritize objective setup by leveraging pick threat rather than direct river fights early on.

Danger windows

Early clears with low health are vulnerable to Zyra's root and plant poke in river.
Isolated river fights before level 6 risk heavy poke and crowd control from (E) and (R).
Avoid forced smite fights when Zyra's ADC can follow up on roots or when brush control favors Zyra.

Early game

Clear camps efficiently to hit level 6 without low-health river paths that Zyra can punish.
Avoid early Scuttle fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Use control wards and sweeper to secure safe post-6 flank routes around river and objectives.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks camouflage and (W) charm, enabling high gank threat and pick potential.
Completing core AP items increases burst damage, enhancing threat in skirmishes and objectives.
Post-6 stealth allows for cross-map plays, punishing Zyra's immobility and lack of escape.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure to reach level 6 and unlock stealth pick angles.
Use camouflage to flank and pick off isolated targets before major objectives.
Convert picks into dragon or Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes that have priority.
