Jungler Role is One of the Key Heroes to a Team’s Success in Defeating the Enemy Team

The jungler is responsible for applying pressure to the enemy team, securing objectives, and dominating the game with high damage.

To become an effective jungler, players need to understand three main aspects: rotation, farming, and ganking. Here is a complete guide to mastering the jungler role efficiently.

1. Choosing a Jungler Hero

In Honor of Kings, jungler heroes are divided into two categories:

• Jungler Tank: These heroes have high defense and mobility with decent damage, though not as high as damage-dealing junglers. Examples of tank junglers include Dun, Menki, and others.
• Jungler Damage: The opposite of tank junglers, these heroes have high mobility and damage but lower defense and HP. Examples include Lim, Luna, and others.

Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. Players should choose their jungler hero based on the team composition and playstyle.

2. General Jungler Strategy

A. Early Game

• Start with Jungle Buff Monsters: Players must begin by taking the blue or red buff, depending on the hero being used.
• Focus on Reaching Level 4 Quickly: Players should reach level 4 as fast as possible by clearing jungle monsters to unlock their hero's ultimate skill. This allows players to start applying pressure to enemy lanes or perform pick-offs on enemy heroes.
• Rotate to the Lane Based on Last Jungle Monster Path: After securing buffs and jungle monsters, players can rotate to the lane where they last cleared a jungle monster. If the blue buff area is where they are, they assist in the gold lane; if they are at the red buff area, they help in the clash lane.

B. Mid Game

• Frequent Rotation: Junglers should rotate frequently across the map to help teammates with ganks or pick-offs of isolated enemy heroes, increasing pressure on the enemy team and expanding the area that the team can control.
• Control Objectives: Make sure to secure objectives like Tyrant and Overlord, which provide significant buffs for the team and make it easier to pressure the enemy.

C. Late Game

In the late game, the jungler’s role is to secure the Tempest Dragon and focus on eliminating key enemy heroes such as marksmen or mages. The jungler also controls the map to prevent the enemy team from finding opportunities.

3. Utilize Jungler Items

In Honor of Kings, there are three item choices based on the player's needs:

• Runeblade: This item is ideal for junglers who deal magical damage as their primary source of damage. It also increases movement speed and reduces cooldowns.
• Rapacious Bite: This item is suitable for junglers who deal physical damage as their primary damage. It also provides increased movement speed and cooldown reduction like Runeblade.
• Giant’s Grip: Ideal for tank junglers, this item boosts max HP and offers movement speed and cooldown reduction like other jungler items.

4. Mistakes to Avoid

• Not Rotating: A jungler must always rotate. It’s essential to assist teammates and keep pressure on the enemy team.
• Using Smite Incorrectly: Don’t waste Smite. Use it wisely, especially during objective contests.
• Being Too Aggressive: Many players overestimate their ability to defeat enemy heroes due to their high damage. Being overly aggressive often results in falling victim to enemy ganks, leading to unnecessary deaths and giving the enemy team an advantage.
• Ignoring Key Enemy Heroes: Don’t waste time and resources attacking tank heroes during team fights. Focus on enemies like marksmen or mages.
