Run armor penetration marks with AD quints so the Long Sword invade, Hydra rush, Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, and Bloodthirster all hit as hard as possible from the first clear onward. Armor seals keep the jungle route stable, while magic resist glyphs cover early skirmishes without slowing the damage plan.

Go 21 Offense for the armor penetration, lethality, crit damage, attack speed, and execute damage that match the Sword of the Occult into Infinity Edge snowball. The 9 Defense points are just enough jungle durability with Smite, Tough Skin, armor, and Bladed Armor so you can start Long Sword and still invade after blue.

  • Deceive (Q) takes points at levels 2, 8, 10, 12, 13.
  • Jack In The Box (W) takes points at levels 1, 14, 15, 17, 18.
  • Two-Shiv Poison (E) takes points at levels 3, 4, 5, 7, 9.
  • Hallucinate (R) takes points at levels 6, 11, 16.

Start boxes for the first clear, take Q for the invade, then max Two-Shiv Poison first for chasing low-HP targets while the Hydra and high-AD build handle camps and burst.

Why these items

Corein buy order

  • 1

    Long Sword400gThe Long Sword start gives the raw AD for early invades.

  • 2

    Tiamat1,900gTiamat is the first rush so your jungle clear and burst both come online quickly.

  • 3

    Ravenous Hydra3,300gFinish Ravenous Hydra early so the sustain lets you stay on the map instead of resetting.

  • 4

    Berserker's Greaves900gBerserker's Greaves supply the attack speed this version is missing after skipping Statikk Shiv.

  • 5

    Sword of the Occult1,200gSword of the Occult turns the kill lead into stacking AD and movement speed.

  • 6

    Infinity Edge3,800gInfinity Edge is the big crit damage spike once the snowball is rolling.

  • 7

    Last Whisper2,300gLast Whisper cuts through armor when targets start stacking defenses.

  • 8

    The Bloodthirster3,200gBloodthirster is the last damage item because it gives far more AD than Youmuu's in this setup.

  • 9

    Oracle's Elixir400gOracle's Elixir lets you keep killing stealth targets instead of letting them disappear.

  • 10

    Elixir of Fortitude350gElixir of Fortitude adds temporary health and attack damage for the final fights.

  • 11

    Elixir of Agility250gElixir of Agility adds temporary attack speed and crit chance for the final fights.

Situationalonly when the game asks for it

  • Phage1,250gas an early movement-speed idea after Tiamat, though the finished build went into Hydra and damage instead

  • Statikk Shiv2,500gskip it in this version; the attack speed feels nice, but Berserker's Greaves covers that job

  • Youmuu's Ghostblade2,700git is an option if you want the active and lethality, but this build chooses Bloodthirster because the AD is much higher

  • Oracle's Elixir400gbuy it when enemy stealth is stopping kills or escapes

Notes

the author's own words

Start Long Sword and use the early AD to invade after blue. You have a lot of raw damage at level one, and with lethality plus armor penetration the enemy jungler's rune armor barely matters, so look for low-HP targets and keep the pressure moving.

Rush Tiamat, finish Ravenous Hydra, then add Berserker's Greaves because this setup skips Statikk Shiv and needs attack speed from boots. Sword of the Occult is the snowball piece; once it is stacked, the movement speed makes you extremely fast. From there, go into Infinity Edge, Last Whisper for armor, and Bloodthirster for the highest AD finish, using Oracle's Elixir when stealth champions like Vayne need to be revealed.
