She's very quite easy when you get the use of her tanking abilities.
She's a hard core tanker, she's like volibear and a nunu, but probably much better!
In the start, you would need to keep up with your health and mana, so you can most likely stay alive through everything. I went bot and never went back to base till the past 15minutes. If your enemies are mia, you would want to gank mid very fast and try to get some easy kills in.
Doran's shield I started off with and went back for a Philosopher's stone and some mana regain since she uses her mana A LOT during game battle.
When you come back, you would want to get some armor or magic resistance. Maybe even a giant's belt (if you're that fed) I ended up with 3k after a team fight and was able to bring in 2 giant's belt and finished my mercury's threads and my Shurelya's Reverie.
Your health is like 3k now around level 15, I was 8-0-11 and was just still surprised she was that easy to tank in battles and get away even with half hp. You would want to farm for blue A LOT, mid game, end game. Farming for her is very very good. Even your team getting dragon a few times. Anything is needed, that's why I probably had kept the stone for quite sometime since it had given me 5 gold every 10 secs which is needed.
The only thing I was struggling on the most is really her items are very expensive, but with the right team and right support, who can't say that every game you'll be more of less to fed than to be feeded on?
Aha, well you should catch on to the build. it matters about the team mates as well, my build from my last game is a bit different but that was only to keep my health running for quite the while so I didn't have to keep going back to base or so. I never tried the life steal build for her, but don't think that would be more of help, jungler or not. I was just very surprised with the build I came up with, she's quite the good champion.
Anyways, this was my first time here making a build. I probably failed seeing as I was quite lazy to fill in some extra stuff but if you have questions or want to see me play I'm always on LoL Daily @ RageQuiiit ! ! !
