Jungle Plan
Use three-camp into gank or invade paths that leverage (E) wall stuns near terrain to lock down Lee Sin's mobility.

Start with a three-camp clear into early river or invade when walls and terrain angles enable reliable (E) stuns.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide support to avoid Lee Sin's level 3 invade.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 3 unless you have vision and lane priority to counter-gank Lee Sin's aggressive early moves.
Power spikes
Level 3 grants access to (E) wall stuns and (W) dash denial, enabling strong anti-dash trades and early invades; use this to pressure Lee Sin's early skirmishes.
