LoL jungle camps are how your jungler banks gold and XP between ganks, and the optimal route is the one that lands you at level 4 with full HP, full mana, and tempo to influence the map before the rest of your team needs help. The standard answer: Red \u2192 Krugs \u2192 Raptors \u2192 Wolves \u2192 Blue \u2192 Gromp \u2192 scuttle, finishing around 3:15-3:30. The actual answer depends on your matchup, your laners’ wave states, and whether the gank is up at level 3 or you’d rather hit level 4 first. Below is the full breakdown: every camp’s gold and XP value, the three jungle routes that win games at different ranks, the scuttle math, and the full-clear vs gank-first decision that decides whether you climb.<\/p>\n
