The Pro Jax Jungle Path focuses on a full clear because Jax takes time to scale and start getting powerful, even though he has good ganking capabilities even at low levels. The route starts on Red Brambleback which you'll be killing with (E) COUNTER STRIKE at level one. Once it is dead, unlock (W) EMPOWER next and proceed to clear the Krugs and Raptors. Doing these gives you level three, unlocking (Q) LEAP STRIKE. Move onto the Murk Wolves next, after which you'll be killing the Blue Sentinel and Gromp. These will give you enough experience for level four, so upgrade (W) EMPOWER. Lastly, check the river for Rift Scuttler and after killing it gank a nearby lane or invade the enemies' Raptor camp. This Jax Jungle Clear is very common and can be turned into a leashless Raptor start if needed, just go Raptors → Krugs → Red Brambleback instead.
