A Challenger Jungler (NA) and Youtuber
Hello, I'm KingStix. I'm a challenger jungle main on NA and I play a variety of jungle champions in challenger.
Karthus has an insanely high win rate. Even though it can be tough to gank with him (needing to land your Q's) he is also great at power farming and just pressing R assuming your team isn't super far behind. I would recommend picking up
Karthus to play against squishy enemy team comps.
I'm passionate about improving at the game and helping other people improve as well. So, I make guides and other educational content for League of Legends on my YouTube channel .

He scales really well
He has a great clear speed (2nd to only

He can power farm and be useful without ganking

He's not very good into tanky team comps
He is countered by

His Q's can be very difficult to land
Managing his mana can be difficult

The clear speed on

Depending on what side of the map you are on, it should look like this:
Red > golems (smite) > raptors > wolves > blue > gromp (smite) OR
Blue > gromp (smite) > wolves > raptors > red > golems (smite)
After your full clear you can look to do 1 of 3 things- gank, scuttle, or reset.
Option 1. If you see a gank that you know will result in a kill, you can gank at this point. However, be mindful of where the enemy jungler is to avoid a counter gank. If your laner is too low, don't go. If ganking is not a good option at this point then go with option 3. just reset.
Option 2. If you clear correctly, you should be able to show up to the scuttle crab right around the time that it spawns. Depending on your health, lane priority, who the enemy jungler is and where he is, you may or may not be able to go to scuttle. If you think you might die then go with option 3. just reset.
**Clear TIPS**
-Only level up W at level 3 if you see a free gank on the map. If not, put a 2nd point in Q to clear faster. You will be level 4 at the end of a full clear and have your W for a gank anyway at that point.
-Only use E to flick on and off to finish off monsters quicker or you will run out of mana.
-The clear combo should be Q - auto when you first start the camp then Q - Q - auto because his auto attacks are on a longer cool down than his Q.

To effectively gank on



**TIP** Ultimate hunter is a noob mistake. You won't be able to 1v1 the enemy jungler, you won't be able to solo objectives, and you will be lower health in your jungle which will make you more likely to die to the enemy jungler if he invades. You can also tank baron for your team, if needed, with ravenous hunter and late game even duo baron with your ADC.
In the mid and late game, you should still be farming it up as much as possible for the gold and xp. Mid and late game jungle xp is now stronger in this current patch, 10.8, so it is even better now than it was before! When it comes to team fighting, the best option is for you stand behind your tank(s) throwing Q's out which will make it much easier for you to land them while they are being CC'd by tanks and not focusing you. If there is no tank on your team, let the enemies engage on your team first and utilize
