Great guide! Karthus is really good jungler even if many people don't appreciate that. I definitely upvote, it works (tried) xD

Such a crazy Idea! It just... might... work! And it did! Superb idea for jungle Karthus! I tried it out and man, It's interesting to say the least. He's More of a mid lane kind of character for me but... this build, Lol :P Works so +1 for creativity!

Armor seals are needed to get blue without leash.

EDIT: Due to a patch buffing the jungle creeps, it is now better to start with a cloth armor and 5 health pots. After your Rod of Ages you can sell the cloth armor and continue on as usual.

p.s. sorry it took so long for this edit, I've been really busy in RL :P

and as always.. Happy Smiting fellow Karthus freaks! :D

if you could maybe doing another video thats a bit more recent since they buffed MR on Neutral monsters. looks fun though.

as a player who has mained with karthus for about 6-7 months now i feel my input is needed. as great as this build is, its just not as good as playing karthus in mid or solo lane. there are plenty of people better suited for the jungle. sure karthus has amazing ganking abilities with his wall+ lay waste, but if your good enough with karthus you should have no problem killing your opponent in mid and walking over for a gank in top or bot. as for the unsuspected ult, people will see that you have chosen karthus and will be waiting for the global ult at all times. so his ult is never really a surprise when you use it.

i tried this build out before i commented so i wouldnt seem like a troll, and the results were terrible. you get ganked due to the fact your a squishy little karthus with no escape until lvl 7 if you follow this build to the letter. you get no early game kills which results in less gold, rather than having consistent minion waves coming.

all and all im sorry to say i disapprove of this build, it just isnt nearly as effective as laning, which is where you belong.

I will be trying this when i get home... will comment with results when i get back

Terrible doesn't work at all anymore.

Wow, really amazing build. =D

Interesting way to build him. I personally like the build you made great job! I also made my own karth guide couple days ago. I play karthus as well and rape with him like you do too but i always laned with him. It never occurred to try him as a jungler. Have you ever though of picking up a rylai's with karth? The slow i find is great for defile and lay waste. I was wondering what were your thoughts on it..

I just tried this out. My friend asked me "why would you jungle Karthus" and my response was initially "to let 2 ppl solo while still having a strong early jungle" now my response would be "because it's freaking awesome". I only needed a little bit of help with blue and I was off and running. Ended up with a 14-4-7 score in a 32 min game. So great. I almost got a quadra kill too... :D Thanks for the guide!

This sounds viable, but i dont really feel like trying it, simply because karthus is a really good laner, and harasses enemy champs so hardcore, so that its best to let somebody else jungle.
