Stolen Powers

[[Zatanna's Psychic Assault]]- This is a great power to use while jungling, as it provides a way to slow down your target. Most people prefer to use the Super Speed to chase a running target, but in my opinion Psychic Assault is better for a jungler, because it allows you to slow your target so your team mates can help you kill it, which with the Super Speed they wouldn't be able too as they would be too far away to help.

[[Atomic Joker's Detonate]] - This power it's used to deal damage to creatures or enemy drones. Target one creature and it will give it damage and also some AOE damage around it, making for fast clear times. It's good early game but looses it's effectiveness late game. With Atomic Joker's version you will have it avaliable more often due to the reuced cooldown.



Superman's Skills


KRYPTONIAN MIGHT (Q) - This is the skill I level first, as it will be a good skill to deal damage. It gives you bonus damage to your next basic attack while reseting it's cooldown. It means you should basic attack and use Q right away so you do 2 basic attack in a row. It also has 2 charges so you can do 4 basic attack in the time of 2. It's a great skill. I start with this for the jungle camps.


FROST BREATH (W) - With this skill you can slow your opponent. If your opponent is  really close it will be rooted for a brief period. Great skill to use in ganks or to slow fleeing enemies. IT scales of power damage for the damage it does, so you won't be doing too much damage with it, but it also scales of health for the slow, so you will still have some use for it.


HEAT VISION (E) - Superman uses his heat vision to push his opponent back. If you use the skill again will make you dash and deal some damage to him. Great skill for ganks. Go from behind, signal your teammates the enemy to focus and then use this to push him to your team, then dash to him and deal your damage and use W if needed.
It's also a good skill to peel for a teammate, pushing enemies away from them.


SPEED BULLET (R) - My favourite skill of this game. Superman flies from a good distance to hit his enemie hard. It's great to kill fleeing low health targets, or even for the first engage.
Your teammate died and the enemy thinks they are safe?? Think again. Superman comes flying to avenge his teammate
Carefull with the use of this skill. Make sure you won't be going into a bad situation of you vs severall enemies. Also be aware that enemies can see a line with your trajectory and put them selfs between you and your target and take the bullet (pun intended) for their teammate.


MAN OF STEEL (PASSIVE) - His passive grants you a shield when using skills and it's off cooldown. Not the best of passives, but its good to take notice when it's availiable, so you can go in to a trade more confident.

Early Game

I start with Marauder Knife (1) and Marauder Shield (1). I buy both the Knife and Shield instead of Knife tier 2, because with the Shield I will loose less health from jungle camps. With this 2 items I'm allways with more health in early game than if I would go with tier 2 of Knife. After your first camps and hopefully a successful gank you can go to one of your turrets and upgrade to Knife tier 2.

I usually go for the health camp, so either bot or top depending which side your team his, taking it alone with the help from Detonate. With the new deployables on the jungle you get a health pad, that I use in my 2nd, 3th or 4th camp depending on my health, dealing damage to creatures and healing my self, or if a lane needs it I'll give it to them. Don't forget your Detonate. I like to use it on the Speed and Health camps or the top and bot camera Destroyers. With this strategy you should be able to be in jungle for a long time. I usually only go base if I die or have a really bad trade. Even at low energy I'm able to gain health in jungle.

I usually gank bot or top at lvl 2 with Q and E. I'll go in from behind, ping my target and push him to my team with my E, and use Q and basic attacks and using Psychic Assualt if needed. If gank is successful you get good gold to start your build quick. If your team is decent this results almost everytime. But you need them to be aware of your incoming gank. Use those pings. Maybe let them know before match starts on your intentions, so they don't push the lane and do some damage on their opponents.

I build Knife to tier 3, so the mod takes effect, and then build Coda Blade (4) till tier 3, and then [[Lobo's Chain (4)]] for the Attack Damage, the Health(with bonus from mod) and specially the slow, that will help you stick to targets, while allowing your team to catch up also.
I'll only upgrade Coda to tier 4 in really late game.

That will bring us to Mid and Late Game.


Mid and Late Game

Remember to allways be looking for ganks, specially with your ult up. You can get to a fight pretty quickly, so be observative of all lanes.

With your Lobo's finished you can now start to decide in which way you build from the items in this build, depending on the way the match is heading.

If you want to be more tanky start to build Claw Of Horus (3), so you'll have some Attack Armor and Health, while having the keyword to steal armor from your opponents with your basic attacks.

If you have good credits influx, you might want to start building [[Joe Chill's Revolver (3)]] for the Attack Damage and the Critical Chance plus Critical Damage. That will make your basic attacks really powerfull. Using Your Q will be devastating.

Then you have other options. Choose depending on what you prefer, or on what the match needs:
[list]

Offensive options
[list]

You can build more towards the Attack Damage side, if your team is doing good and you are able to melt opponents without being focused.

Choose [[Huntress' Crossbow (3)]] for huge Attack Damage and Attack Speed.

Choose Atomic Axe (2) to cut through enemies building Armor.

Choose [[Deathstroke's Claymore (3)]] for more Attack Damage, some Cooldown Reduction, good Attack Penetration and a good active dealing damage from your targets maximum health. Good against Enforcers.

Finally choose Mega Rod (3) for some good Attack Damage, some Health Regen and for the passives. Good to help in clearing lanes
[/list]

Deffensive options
[list]

[[Booster Gold's Power Suit (3)]] if you want to be more tanky and push turrets and tank them for your team. Good Health, good Attack Armor and some Cooldown Reduction.

[[Metallo's Heart (3)]] is good to face marksmans, as the passive will make them loose Attack Speed. Has the same stats as Booster's Power Suit.

With Entropy Aegis (3) you get good Health and great Power Armor and a shield for Power Armor skills. Use this when enemie team has a fed blaster or controller doing huge damage.

Chosse Suit Of Sorrows (4) or [[Mirror Master's Prism (4)]] depending on what type of damage you're receiving more. The Reflect Passive it's great to turn received damage into damage done to your enemies.
[/list]
[/list]
You should be in team fights, and adjust your playstyle to your team and your build. If you went the tanky way, you should be in frontline of the fight. If you go the Assassin way, building huge damage at the expense of Health or armor, you should try to go from behind of one of the priority targets and push them to your team with E.

You should also help slowing down fleeing enemies and use your ult when they think they can escape. Your ult is good to start a fight also allowing your team mates to catch up with your ways to slow down your opponents.

Don't forget to try and push turrets when you can, but allawys be aware of team fights. You can enter big style with your ultimate.
