Jungler
The hero, usually an assassin, who clears jungle camps and secures objectives.
The jungler clears jungle camps for gold and experience, contests buffs, and uses the Retribution battle spell to secure Turtle, Lord, and enemy-contested camps. It's most often an assassin like Ling or Yi Sun-shin, since jungle clear speed and gank mobility both reward high early damage, though jungle-viable fighters are also common. A jungler's early game is spent balancing farm efficiency against ganking exp and mid lane to snowball a level or gold lead.
