Lam S-Tier Jungle Guide: 67% WR Build & Combos HoK Global

Lam's an S-Tier jungler crushing it at 54.9-67% WR. It's all about that insane mobility, burst damage, and Hunter passive dishing +15% true damage under 30% HP. Arcana? Mutation and Eagle Eye. Core item: Boots of Tranquility. Path: Hit Red at 00:30, gank at 01:15 when you hit lvl3. Combos: Wavebreaker into Space Split, finish with Ult. Counters: Lu Bu or Zilong. Patch 1.10.5 (Oct 16, 2025); 73% early WR.

Diving into Lam as a Jungle Assassin on Global Servers

Quick Take on Lam: Role and What Makes Him Tick

Picture this: Lam, your Roving Assassin jungler, built for high-mobility dives and quick escapes. That Hunter passive? It amps true damage by +15% against anyone below 30% HP—tanks beware. In Patch 1.10.5, he's sitting at 54.9% WR, 24.1% pick rate, and 38.7% ban rate in Master+. Hunt low-HP targets first; you'll see 15-20% extra damage in clears and ganks.

Why Lam Dominates Jungle Right Now

Wavebreaker gives +60 MS during its 3-second Submerge (unlimited in river), and Space Split resets on AA. KWC 2025 stats don't lie: 67% WR, 8.7 KDA, 98% pro pick/ban rate, 96% presence across games. Stack those Skill 2 marks at Lv2 for infinite combos; by 01:15 at lvl3, you're ganking duo-lanes under 60% HP with a 73% WR.

Emblem and Arcana That Actually Work

Jungle Emblem Picks

Go Jungle tree with Smith/Flash for that CDR and mobility edge. Stack Mutation 9-10x for +2 PA/+3.6 pierce; Eagle Eye 10x hits 64 pierce against 15-25 armor; Hunt 10x adds +1% AS/MS.

1. Mutation x10: Straight 20 PA/36 pierce.
2. Eagle Eye x10 + Hunt x10: 70-80% effectiveness.
3. Swap-in: Stealth x10/Red Moon x1 for invis and burst spikes.

Arcana Breakdown: Mutation and Eagle Eye Shine

At Lv5, these arcana pump 15-20% power; pair with 10% CDR Boots for synergy. Hunt/Eagle Eye/Mutation combo nets 64+ pierce.

• Go-to: Mutation x10, Stealth x10, Eagle Eye x10 (Flash emblem).
• Budget route: Eagle Eye > Hunt > Mutation.

Tested it myself—+1% AS/MS shaves clears to 00:45 from 01:00. Game-changer.

Your Go-To Item Build, Step by Step

Core Progression: Early to Late Game Flow

Kick off with Rapacious Bite/Hunting Knife (250g into Relentless Blade at 700g). Core rush: Boots of Tranquility (CDR king), Axe of Torment (AS/CDR/HP/pen/slow), Pure Sky (mobility/pen), Cuirass of Savagery, then Siege Breaker (64+ pierce).

1. Early: Boots into Axe right after blue at 01:15.
2. Mid: Pure Sky to Cuirass by 8-10min (73% WR spike).
3. Late: Siege Breaker or Succubus Cloak for sustain.

Boots Choices and Defenses

Boots of Tranquility is non-negotiable for CDR. Gilded Greaves if CC is heavy. Axe slows camps by 15%—rush Boots post-first buff for 20% CDR blue synergy.

Situational Swaps, No BS

Tanks? Muramasa/Blade of Despair/Fenrir's Tooth. Need sustain? Succubus Cloak. Core build hits 67% KWC WR; cloak drops to 55.1% post-patch.

• Space Split: 7s CD/40 mana; 225-425 (+40% Phys Atk)x2, marks heal 50-100 (+75% Phys Atk +2% Max HP), -1s CD reduction/chase boost.

1. Submerge in.
2. Space Split → AA to eat marks/heal.
3. Weave basics.

1. Ping objectives -55s early.
2. Wait for ally CC → Ult pull under turret.

Teamfight Ult Plays

Jungle Paths: Farm Smart, Gank Hard

Top Routes for Efficiency

Camps spawn 00:30 (smalls respawn 70s, buffs 90s). Red start: Crimson 00:30 → Azure 00:45 → smalls/Blue 01:00 → lvl3 gank 01:15 (15-20% gold lead). Blue flip: Azure 00:30 → smalls 00:45 → Crimson 01:15. Red: 15% slow/70-256 true dmg. Blue: 20% CDR/225 HP.

Playstyle Across the Game

Levels 1-6: Aggressive Starts

Lvl3 ganks at 01:15-1:30: 73% WR on <60% HP duo-lanes. Grab that 15-20% gold lead. Freeze lanes; poke towers post-gank, then recall.

Mid-Game: Roam and Objectives

Hold off lvl4 Ult/items till 8-10min for 73% WR. Ambush isolates. Ping -55s on objs.

Late: Become the Carry

Submerge rear for burst on carries. Stack Skill2 infinite against tanks. (Editor note: This is where Lam feels godlike—pure chaos.)

Mistakes to Dodge, Pro Tips to Steal

Don't Overextend

Only gank with CDs up and ally CC. Skip bad targets/paths. Aim 65%+ WR, +gold@10min, 70-80% KP.

• Back-position buffs always.
• Separate attack buttons for precision.

Beating Meta Junglers

Vs Augran/Wukong (55-67% WR): River MS invade. KWC 2025? Lam MVP with Ult drags.
