0–8:00 — clear to priority, create reliable collision windows

0:00–8:00 (drake 5:00, grubs 8:00)

Complete a high-tempo clear toward the lane with priority for the first objective. If an enemy is past river without Flash and the wave is crashing, pivot the last camp to a gank; choose the E line for the likely dodge and use E-Flash during the dash only when it corrects a likely miss and your laner can follow. Otherwise hold E, take crab, and stay on schedule. Start W before a predictable counter-gank or burst exchange so its reduction covers the channel and following damage; delay it when no meaningful damage is imminent. Use Q to check brushes and control chokes, detonating early for an immediate slow or letting it ferment when enemies must cross the zone. Hit 6 on schedule. Ahead, convert pressure into drake with bot/mid priority; behind or versus strong duelists, mirror-clear away, ward entrances, and trade grubs for drake if bot is losing.

Path

Default full clear, break to priority or crab

If your lanes will not have priority by 3:00 or the enemy jungler wins early skirmishes, start opposite your win-condition lane and full clear toward the 2:55 scuttler. If bot/mid will have push and drake is the first plan, end bot; if top has priority and grubs or an invade is planned, end top. If a lane is gankable with the enemy past river and no Flash, pivot the last camp to a 3-camp gank; otherwise take crab, re-clear, and stay on time for objective setups.

With Gragas

• Ping your lane state 60–90 seconds before each objective; if you can shove two nearest lanes, do it early so Gragas can sweep and claim a Faelight. His engage is only good if someone follows within a screen.
• If Gragas is hovering fog, play the pick game: sit on the angles he threatens, not mid-wave. One Body Slam + Cask pick turns into free objectives — ward deep only when he is nearby to act on information. If the target's dodge would defeat a normal E, give him space to use E-Flash only when you can follow the corrected collision.
• Front-to-back comps: position behind Gragas and let him peel first. If he uses R defensively, recognize whether its vector sent the diver away from your carry; re-engage after enemy engage tools are burned. If he holds E for an interrupt, do not force him to spend it on a low-value target.
• If he places Q at Baron or dragon and enemies must respect the entrance, wait for the zone or hit the nearest safe target without chasing through it. If he lands Cask to split their team, convert the numbers with a fast objective call; do not chase past the pit while his Smite is up.
