Hi, I'm Gluchos, and I want to present to you my vision of




Pros
-Very strong ganks
-Strong whole game
-So much CC, zomg, he stole some CC from other champs
-Very good pick when u have strong AD champ at top (such as


-AP Jungler
-Can carry the game if played correctly
-Quite fast jungling time
-THIS VOCIE~!
-He's only TITAN in league, sry bro, that's simply cool.

Cons
-Sometimes has lacks of dmg
-Rather hard to master
-When not used to him u can have mana problems
-Really thin lane between good and bad












If you don't like









I know, I know, OMG HE STARTS WITH

Nope.
Starting with

When starting with

after that I think I'm going as most





So it goes like this




Simple isn't, it?

I do route similar to this in Stonewall008 video:
/league-of-legends/ability/riptide-472

Don't worry when u get countejungled. It's not good when they took your blue, beacuse you will have some mana issues, but if it was red, you can just laugh. You don't need redbuff.
After lvl 6 your ganks become even more powerfull, cuz u can start with
Depth Charge(rly good range) then just walk to guy who is ulted, slow him with
Riptide, immobilize with autoattack and grab him with ur
Dredge Line when he flashes or starts to run away. And that's just you, but u also have teammate by your side, lol. So overpowered.
Doing drake with
Nautilus is a little bit harder than with others junglers, but after geting
Rod of Ages you shouldn't have ANY problems with it.

What I DO NOT recommend is starting with
Regrowth Pendant &
Health Potion, I know it will give you faster philosopher's stone, but it slows you down. Your first route is slow enough, you don't want to make it slower. Also it forces you to use diffrent, less viable runes.

Well here comes the part that I figured out alone. It's strange and you will not see many Naut players doing this way, unless this guide becomes popular, but I doubt it, because there are no cool images and stuff, which ppl like.
So you are starting with
Cloth Armor and 5x
Health Potion, also u can start with
Boots and 3x
Health Potion or even
Doran's Ring, but unless u are good naut player I strongly do not recomend
Doran's Ring.
Then u are rushing philosopher's stone. U want to have philosopher's stone &
Boots afap. then u rush catalyst of the protector. It gives u many advantages - moar hp and mana=more surv & better shield with
Titan's Wrath & less mana issues + passive is amazing when u lvl up right after a gank, which has left u with 50% hp. After catalyst of the protector U want you
Rod of Ages. It's best item that u can imagine for naut - more surv, more mana, more dmg, better shield. Then U want to go
Mercury's Treads &
Aegis of the Legion. 99% of times start building aegis from
Ruby Crystal for more hp & better shield.

That's your core build
Mercury's Treads, Philosopher's Stone,
Rod of Ages,
Aegis of the Legion

It gives u mix of tankyness, and dmg, which is exactly what u want.
Then it starts to complicate.
If u'r going good and want to deal more dmg go for
Rabadon's Deathcap.
If u'r going good, want to deal dmg but need to be more tanky go for another
Rod of Ages instead (it's really, really good option!)
U'r doing dmg but they are killing u and u cannot do almost anything?
If they deal most magic dmg go for
Banshee's Veil first(some consider
Force of Nature - don't! -
Banshee's Veil gives u less mres but more hp&mana, and hp scales with ur shield
Titan's Wrath, which is better) then go for
Randuin's Omen (hp, armor, regen + GREAT active - perfect.
Riptide+active from
Randuin's Omen, trolololo amumus ult v2)
If they deal more attack dmg go for
Randuin's Omen first then for
Banshee's Veil
For last item I almost always go for
Abyssal Mask - more dmg, more resist + mres reduction. If you are going very good, or just don't like
Banshee's Veil go for
Abyssal Mask instead of banshee. That's good choice too, and I'm doing it by myself quite often, to deal more dmg. In general
Abyssal Mask is strongly recomended on Naut, especially with this build, cuz you have lacks in magic pen.
Well I must say that 75% of games will end after U will build your core items, cuz that's really deadly combination, and gives u everything u want.

And thing about boots. Get
Mercury's Treads when you think you should. Take
Boots afap, but then you can wait with upgrading them to
Mercury's Treads. Sometimes I buy them even after
Aegis of the Legion, other times before
Blasting Wand but after catalyst of the protector. When u have philosopher's stone u can even use
Dredge Line to move faster around map, but I do not recomend doing it to often.

Since you are a jungler and it's an AP jungler, you need to know your place. You are not killer. I usually end up games with stats like 5/6/17 or my last Naut game 3/3/13. You want your teammates to kill. Of course on early game, when you are very strong you can take a few kills to get your core build earlier. If i'm going really good I have RoA about 16-20 minute, when bad sometimes even about 25. I had some games when with Rabadons deathcap on board I have scored a few triple kills, beacuse it gives amazing dmg boost.

Your place in teamfight.
Here comes so many misunderstandings. You are an AP offtank, sounds funny? I know, but you are really strong. You have thousands of CC, you deal tons of dmg and you can stand in the middle of teamfight, kida cool isn't it?
Naut is great initiator. Use ur
Depth Charge on their ad carry(or ap carry, or support, you must choose yourself, best is to choose some1 who is usefull, and stands behind everyone at the moment) grab yourself with
Dredge Line to someone of them,
Titan's Wrath &
Riptide imiedietly after use
Randuin's Omen active too and here comes the hard part - YOU MUST TRY TO HIT EVERYONE AT LEAST ONCE - really, Nauts passive
Staggering Blow is amazing and when you are beetween three players you can almost stun them (
Riptide +
Randuin's Omen) and then when they almost cannot move u can easily immoblizie them with passive, plus when you have your
Titan's Wrath's shield on you will deal really good dmg too.
When they are chasing your ad/ap carry, and you are around - help him! Just hit them once to immobilize with [staggering blow]], use your
Riptide, and if you know that you might get killed just use your
Dredge Line somewhere around to grab yourself to wall, with slow from your
Riptide, and immobilize from
Staggering Blow u can easily run away and save your ad/ap carry.
While you are in the middle of enemy team just try to do as much mess as possible, slow them, grab them, immobilize them with
Staggering Blow while having your
Titan's Wrath on, when u have
Titan's Wrath on, you will attack everyone close to each other, and they will be close, because of all those slows and stuff, belive me. Your team should do the rest. (thats why naut usually get assists instead of kills - you initiate, and after good initiation enemies will have like 2/3 to 1/2 hp and you will have 7-8 seconds while you will be waiting for your cooldowns, and they will be slowed, immobilised and stuff, usually in this time your team is doing ace, or at least 3 kills)
