Build: talisman > red smite > mobility boots > duskblade > warrior enchantment > death's dance > then chose wisely what you need (tank items, more dmg). You can build Tiamat if you really need it for the clear but I usually don’t. You’re very prone to being counter jungled due to your very poor clear in the beginning so be careful for that.
Gank as often as you can, he's ultra strong in ganking. Focus on squishy and slow champions.
