Jungle Pathing Guide for Season 6

Efficient jungle pathing in Honor of Kings can give you a 2-level lead by minute 5. Here's the optimal routes for the current season.

Path Options

Route	Order	Clear Time	Gank Window
Red start (standard)	Red > Blue > River crab > Mid	1:35	Level 4
Blue start (AP focused)	Blue > Red > River crab > Farm lane	1:40	Level 4
Invade route	Their Red > Their Blue > escape	1:20	Level 2
Vertical clear	Red > Wraiths > Blue > Gromp	2:00	Level 4 (full)

Key Principles

• Level 4 gank priority: Farm lane (the one with the ADC) > Mid > Roam lane
• After ganking, take the nearby objective: Dragon (first) > Tower > Enemy jungle camps
• Never cross the river without vision -- always check mid position first

Jungle Clear Settings

- Core jungle item: Tier 2 jungle item > Tier 3 at minute 8

SEA server meta: In high ELO SEA, the standard red-buff start gets invaded 30% of games. Always ask your mid to check their jungle entrance at 0:35. If you see an invade coming, ping immediately and either mirror-invade their opposite buff or take your own blue and reset. The best junglers in HOK think two moves ahead, not one.
