Build a route that leaves a real exit

0:00–8:00; first clear, level-three gank windows, Scuttler at 2:55, and dragon from 5:00

Use a conditioned full clear when lanes lack reliable setup or your early river duel is unfavorable; path to finish near the lane that can actually follow. Look for a level-three gank only when the enemy is overextended, missing an escape spell, or collecting a crashed wave. If the play is absent, keep clearing toward the 2:55 Scuttler window and protect your level and Smite timing. When ahead, repeat pressure through the winning lane; when behind, farm toward catch-up XP and avoid apology ganks.

Path

Choose pressure only when the route pays

If your lanes lack setup or the enemy jungler wins the early river fight, choose a conditioned full clear toward the lane you want to protect, then reassess at Scuttler. If a lane is overextended and your level-three Q–E threat has a clear angle, trade part of the clear for the gank; otherwise preserve camps and your level timing.

With Jarvan IV

• If Jarvan is approaching through fog and your lane can push first, crash the wave or hold the enemy's escape route so his Q–E connects with follow-up rather than becoming a solo entry.
• If Jarvan places Demacian Standard near the fight, stay within practical follow-up range and focus the target he knocks up. You do not need to chase his target through the arena if a safer nearby enemy is already exposed.
• If Jarvan has Cataclysm available and the next objective is close, help him establish vision and lane pressure before the spawn. His engage is stronger when the enemy must choose between contesting the pit and losing a wave or structure.
• If Jarvan is behind, give him a clear peel assignment instead of asking for a miracle dive: when the enemy enters your backline, his knock-up and Golden Aegis slow can buy your damage source time to reposition.
