Welcome to my Zilean jungle guide!Although Zilean is meant to be played as a support i like to play him as jungle as if played rigt he can really help his team. While I was browsing Mobafire, I noticed there weren't many guides written on Zilean jungle. To fill this hiatus, I've tried to put my experience playing Zilean jungle into words, resulting in the guide you are reading right now! My plan is to keep adding to the guide as I play more games and my experience grows. For questions, comments and additions, feel free to make use of the discussion section! Let's get started!

Pros-

-Can give his team mates a lane advantage by giving them levels.
-Amazing slow for ganking.
-Easy to land cc.
-Great for towerdving with his ult.

Cons-

-Difficult to master.
-Slow early clear.
-Squishy.
-Vulnerable to counter jungling.

Get your botlane to give you a heavy leash and then go straight to raptors your q + stun makes it very easy to clear even with smite on cooldown, after raptors go to red buff and then gank what lanes you can after your first back jungling should be pretty easy.

The Items chosen for this build are for max damage output and slows as it helps his team when hes able to output lots of cc at the same time as buffing allies.

In summary Zilean jungle is a strong pick as it has the capability to give massive advantages and buffs to allies during fights and ganks as well as this his cc is great for stopping champions like Yi or Tryndamere from chasing.
