Intro To Pyke

Pyke has only been out for a little while, but that doesn't stop people from playing him non stop. Most people play support, but it turns out he's a much better jungler than people think. His clearing is pretty good and his ganks are amazing. He's a really strong jungler if used correctly.

Jungle Path

For your first jungle clear, it can be quite tough. Depending on the jungler, one route can be:

Red Buff > Scuttle > Blue Buff > Other Scuttle > (Go back, or try and continue) Gromp > Wolves > (Hopefully not taken) Raptors

The other jungle path is a little more generic.

Red Buff > Raptors (Be careful, they're kinda hard as Pyke) > Blue Buff > Gromp > Scuttle > Wolves

For Krugs, you can get them whenever. I don't recommend getting them on your first clear.

The reason the jungle path on the top can be very strong sometimes is when you're against a slower jungler, getting both scuttles can put you at a higher level and higher gold count than them, causing it to be easier to gank and/or counter jungle.

Items

Pyke can struggle sometimes, due to one of his effects. Pyke cannot gain health from health items, because he instead gains AD based on his health he gains from that said item. Building those said items can also increase the maximum health pool for his ultimate to execute.

Runes

Main Runes

Dark Harvest
The reason dark harvest is good on Pyke is due to his assassin characterists, and the fact that it can be a much later, stronger electrocute that chains between enemies.

Sudden Impact
Sudden Impact takes advantage from Pyke's E and his W, gaining some easy extra lethality.

Relentless Hunter
As an assassin jungler, it's good to get into a small fight, get a kill, and pop out, or you can chase an entire team when they're low health and start one shotting them one by one with your ultimate. Relentless hunter can make many of these things happen.

Secondary Runes

Celerity
Celerity gives Pyke some more movement speed and also increases his AD by a little bit.

Waterwalking
Waterwalking allows Pyke to swim into ganks much faster than he can without it, causing ganks to happen much sooner than normal, possibly allowing numerous kills. It also helps you get scuttle, and then bail.
