Guide
Playstyle: A jungle with great roaming and damage spam. Easily a glass cannon, especially if you don't know when to get out of the fight. Need opponents to be reasonabily still to get your neae infinite Hex combo going.
DISCLAIMER: This build is great once you figure out the combo, but once people catch on and know how to dodge you, it takes more finesse. Higher ranks will know what to look for.
Guide: Level up in the center and try to always have blue buff. Roam often and ALWAYS be killing something. Clear leans and set up for big dunks.
To engage, start in a bush or behind a wall. Begin with Sludge Bomb on your target(s), then Hex spam on top of your opponents then speed pill out.
Item Choices:
Shell Bell: Cooldown reduction so Sludge Bomb up sooner for more Hex spam. Sp. Atk. vamp bonus...
Wise Glasses: Sp. Atk. nuf said.
Sp. Atk. Specs: Sp. Atk. nuf said.
X Speed: Really good in early game, you could make an argument for X Attack or Eject button, but I think X Speed works for this
*Energy Amplifier is also a great option if you want to gear for more late game and swap out Shell Bell. I just like Shell Bell for early sustainability.
Summary: This build can carry your team to wins, but is easily countered if your opponents are smart. Stay away from CC classes like Ninetails, Charizard, etc. until you have a good combo setup. Early game is not where the build shines, but you can get early ganks holding towers by licking people in and Sludge Bombing. Late game you are pretty much unstoppable if you know how to setup.
