Rift Scuttler
Large Monster
ABOUT
Spawn time: 85 second(s) into game.
Respawn interval: 120 second(s).
REWARDS
The Rift Scuttler grants XP and gold on takedown. A Speed Shrine also spawns at a fixed location on the same side of the river which provides the following buffs to your team:
Grants vision of the area.
Vision radius: 4.5m. Enemy champions who pass through this area will be maked and revealed.
Allied champions who pass through the area receive a 40% out-of-co Movement Speed boost for 2 second(s).
The Ambessa Pro path features a full clear that starts on the Red Buff. Unlock (Q) CUNNING SWEEP / SUNDERING SLAM for your first skill, and after killing it you can unlock (E) LACERATE. This makes your Krugs and Raptor camp clear really quick due to the huge AoE damage output both of these skills have. These kills grant you level three, upgrading (Q) CUNNING SWEEP / SUNDERING SLAM after which you will path towards the Blue Buff side of the jungle to clear Murk Wolves, Blue Sentinel and the Gromp.
These get you to level four so go ahead and unlock (W) REPUDIATION. Now kill the Rift Scuttler and any enemy trying to duel you because Ambessa wins most duels. This is a relatively healthy Ambessa jungle clear, and it's highly modular which is why most players love it. You can start with raptors as well, and do Krugs, Red Brambleback and go to the Blue Buff side.
It's also possible to do an early gank with this pathing, simply do Raptors → Red Brambleback → Krugs → Gank Bot/Top lane depending on your side.
