Warwick Jungle guide

Warwick jungle is a low-health hunter: Blood Hunt (W) reveals and speeds him toward anyone under half health, Jaws of the Beast (Q) closes the gap and heals him off the bite, and Infinite Duress (R) leaps at and suppresses the first champion he collides with to lock down a kill. Eternal Hunger (passive) adds bonus magic damage to his attacks that turns into a bigger heal once a target drops below half health, then triples under a quarter.

The build

Rune page: Lethal Tempo, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand (Precision), with Waterwalking and Celerity (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order takes a single point in Jaws of the Beast (Q) at level one, then maxes Blood Hunt (W) first with Jaws of the Beast (Q) second. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Stridebreaker, Blade of The Ruined King, Thornmail, with Spirit Visage, Kraken Slayer, and Death's Dance as later options.

Ability mechanics

Blood Hunt (W) triples its bonuses once a target drops under a quarter health instead of half.

Infinite Duress (R) scales its leap distance with his bonus Move Speed.
