Just in a recent game, enemy jungle successfully invaded our team at lv1....
So, just wondering, (cuz i want to do it back :P), how to invade?
A step by step guide would be helpful ^-^
i would only try this out in normal or draft :P

You have come to the right place my friend. Here is my latest in-depth invade plan.

Step 1 - What are your champions strengths?

Highly mobile?
Lots of early damage?
Strong CC?

Step 2 - decide whether you can take them given the strength of your champion

Step 3 - Figure out where they are starting using early wards or take a guess. If you guess wrong you might be able to take their buff or kill them when they do show up where you are at.

Step 4 - Sit in the buff bush (but keep an eye on the enemy laners in case you are sitting on a ward) and click on the buff monster. When the enemy jungler gets the buff monster low Smite it first. Then kill them if they are low or run away.

Joxuu's plan above may work too or you may end up married. Is that green ball supposed to be a bouquet?

Nice! I'll be honest that I don't invade often because if it goes bad you are put way behind.

One other tip, think about the damage type of the enemy jungler and what runes you have. If you are running all CDR glyphs and they do magic damage you might get a nasty surprise re the amount of damage they do if they decide to fight back.

To invade, you need two things: You need to have a champion with good CC, and you need to have a stronger level 1 power spike than your opponent. For example, someone like Morgana or Blitzcrank, have incredible invade potential due to their CC. Braum doesn't have as strong of a CC like Morgana or blitz, but he still has one of the strongest level 1's in the game, and therefore, it's okay to invade with him.

Basically, if your team has some way to catch out an opponent, or beat your opponent in a fight, then it's okay to consider invading.
A team that would be desirable to invade with would be something like Braum Lucian Lissandra Elise Malphite.
A team that should expect to be invaded would be something like Soraka Kog'Maw Ahri Rek'Sai Quinn.

Trust me. Soraka level 1 is OP. She can keep any of her teammates up, and any team that tries to invade will get their butts handed to them.

However, I think the OP is asking about solo invades as a jungler -- when, how, etc.

I had thresh with me :D. I was adc as mf and leveled up my e first. We also had Akali and evelynn, so it was an okay combination.
