These Jungler Champions will help you dominate Wild Rift.

Out on the Wild Rift things are heating up as more champions are added to the pool of choice. The roles are pretty much the same, though games are shorter and more intense than those on Summoner's Rift.

The things to consider when picking your champion continue to change with new additions, updates to Abilities and reworking items. This tier list can help you decide the best Jungler to use in different circumstances as of the 3.3 patch.

Out on the mini-rift, your best bet at the moment is Shyvana if you end up in the Jungle. Her latest rework has her ruling over the map, especially if your take Conqueror, Pathfinder, Triumph and Hunter Titan for survivability.

A build including Trinity Force, Blade of the Ruined King and Death's Dance will deal consistent damage, and the Glorious Enchant will top off this bruiser. Always max Flame Breath first and start the Brambleback for the easiest Jungle clear.

Another great Attack Damage Jungler is Olaf, with Black Cleaver, Sterak's Gage and Death's Dance. To make sure he survives team fights remember to build Guardian Angel, Spirit Visage and the Glorious Enchant. If you're up against an Evelynn you're going to have a bad time, as her Jungle win rate is the highest out of the current 40 champions, and she counters Olaf hard.

Taking Counqueror, Weakness, Adaptive Carapace and Pathfinder Runes can help, but you'll want to focus on a tankier build against Master Yi and Jarvan IV too.

The previous leader of the Jungle, Evelynn is still an incredibly strong pick due to her agility and high damage. By building her with a combination of Ability Power and Attack Speed, similar to the PC game, she is easily one of the strongest champions for the role.

Her weak spots are when she's matched against Gragas, Rammus or Xin Zhao, as they can most easily tank her burst damage while locking her down with crowd control. Evelynn has the highest win-rate when she takes Electrocute, Brutal, Adaptive Carapace and Mastermind.

A great pick for a balanced addition to the team, Wukong is very strong solo and in the Jungle. By building Divine Sunderer, Black Cleaver and Death's Dance his Attack Damage will slice through squishy champions, and the Ability Haste means you can keep using your dashes to chase down more mobile enemies.

With the runes, Conqueror, Pathfinder, Triumph, and Hunter Titan, Wukong can remain up close in a fight, and take quite a beating if he needs to.

This Jungler is a bit more of a bruiser, able to survive fights and deal more damage over time, especially if you build her with a Triforce and Death's Dance. Always take Conqueror Runes, along with Brutal, Mastermind, and Hunter Titan for survivability in this role.

Vi does really well against AD Marksmen with this Armor and Attack Speed build, but struggles when matched against Pantheon, Xin Zhao or Jax. Thornmail or a Guardian Angel can help in those cases though.

Gragas is another brilliant pick, especially for his surprising amount of ability and power damage. He throws out some great crowd control too. By building him with Rod Of Ages, Infinity Orb, and Rabadon's Deathcap, Gragas becomes an unstoppable, initiating machine, able to surprise foes from the Jungle and even pick off a squishy alone.

Electrocute, Weakness, Hunger Titan, and Mastermind all work well on him, and if you come up against him, good picks include Xin Zhao, Kha'Zix and Jaravn IV.

The next highest win-rate in the Jungle is Kha'Zix, a brilliant Attack Damage assassin, able to delete a squishy before they know what's happening. The best items on him include Duskblade of Draktharr, Black Cleaver and Youmuu's Ghostblade, as well as the Quicksilver Enchant.

Your best bet to counter his explosive damage is Crowd Control and Armor, specifically on Rammus, Amumu or Jarvan IV. Electrocute is also a good addition to Kha'Zix's kit.

Lee Sin is the next best pick, taking Conqueror runes, along with Brutal, Hunter Titan and Mastermind. He does best when built with lots of Attack Damage and some Magic Resist, so Sterak's Gage, Black Cleaver, Death's Dance and Spirit Visage are all great items to add to his kit. A Stasis Enchant is very helpful when you go all in and then have to wait for your teammates to back you up.

Be careful when matched against Dr Mundo, Rammus or Xin Zhao, as they won't get burst easily and can lock a Lee Sin down long enough to take him out of the fight.

For those looking to gank a lot, Xin Zhao is a great pick at the moment. With Conqueror and Pathfinder Runes it's much easier and more rewarding to help out your laning teammates. Build Black Cleaver, Divine Sunderer, and Guardian Angel to stay in team fights for longer while dealing sustained Attack Damage.

His presence is best felt early game, so try to get your team ahead when you're at your strongest, and be wary of an enemy Kha'Zix which can counter you heavily right from the start.

With her amazing 1v1 potential, Irelia is an amazing Jungler, especially once you reach mid-game. It's smart to play off of her stacking passive, Ionian Fervor, and build Attack Speed items such as Blade of the Ruined King and Wit's End, while taking the Statis Enchant and the Nullifying Orb Rune to survive for longer during team fights.

Irelia's presence in a lane alone is enough to distract the entire enemy team as she will push to their Nexus very quickly. This champion is great if you want to solo carry your games.

Maybe a surprising choice, but Morgana's win rate in the Jungle has skyrocketed on the Wild Rift. Her ability to lock down an entire lane with her Ultimate, Soul Shackles, as well as the incredible burst damage she carries throughout makes her a brilliant champion to gank lanes with. Her clear is pretty good too, with her W Tormented Shadow dealing extra damage to Jungle Monsters.

Her build as a Jungler doesn't really differ from her more typical Support item builds, such as Luden's Echo, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment, and the Statis Enchant for her Ultimate. However, champions such as Kha'Zix can take her down quickly, and Rammus can survive her Ability Power burst.

There are plenty of differences between Summoner's Rift and Wild Rift, but something that hasn't changed is that the only build path for Master Yi is Attack Speed and Damage, and lots of it. Start out with a Blade of the Ruined King, Statikk Shiv, and eventually an Infinity Edge with the Quicksilver Enchant. He will also benefit from the same Runes as Lee Sin.

To counter a Master Yi on the Wild Rift you need a speedy Jungler with Crowd Control, such as Rammus, or a jump, like Jax or Kha'Zix.

The ultimate Jungle hunter, Rengar becomes an invisible, pouncing menace once he reaches level five. Make sure to max out his Q, Savagery, first as it's an auto-attack reset which works well with an Attack Damage build.

Buying items such as Youmuu's Ghostblade gives a speed boost too, as well as Duskblade of Draktharr which provides a bonus damage if you go unseen for one second, which is pretty easy as Rengar.
