A pair of Elf and Dark Knight arrived in Bot La was an odd sight, that of a defensive marksman apanied by a hyper-aggressive bruiser. sidering their damage outputs at this stage of the game, it was hard to tell who was supposed to be the “Carry” and who was the “Support”.

  And indeed, it was the Dark Knight who took the spotlight this time. Luke unleashed Dark Bst on the enemy wave, erasing it in one fell swoop.

  “Haha, goteem!” Luke grinned. “Git outpyed, boi!”

  With no minions on his side, Winner had no choice but to retreat from the area. Even though the guy got here long before Luke and started farming ahead of time, his lousy farming speed couldn’t even begin to pare to Dark Knight’s explosive might.

  “This is so hax, haha!” Luke ughed. “I love it!”

  “Yeah, it’s cool as heck!” Lars agreed. “I wish Elf had that kind of early-game power. This is sick!”

  “Hey, hey, you wanna make Elf totally broken or what? I mean, you gonhis kind of damage ie-game, right? So, if you had it early too, then Elf would be like SSS tier.”

  “Haha, true dat.”

  Both csses were powerful but in different phases of the game. For now, Elf was the weak css that needed help farming minions, whereas Dark Knight was the untested king of the hill.

  As such, it to Luke to use his hax strength to dictate the flow of the game for now. In a sense, he was the “Carry” of the team during this phase of the game.

  “Alrighty. stop, the Ogre Camp!”

  “Right behind ya, dude!”

  The duo left the ne and traveled to the back of the Juo the Ogre Camp on their side of the map.

  The ogres there must’ve been feeling themselves after staying alive for this long, thinking nobody dared to farm them. But, they were totally wrong!

  They don’t know how "Only the strong survive in this harsh world". Luke giggled menagly while quoting Dark Knight’s ultimate.

  The duo reached the Ogre Camp and ran into another ally there.

  “I’ll tank it,” Yuel nominated himself.

  “Thanks, man.” Luke appreciated the help. He had already lost 15% HP from firing his Dark Bst all over the pce, and now he was going to lose yet another 5% to another Dark Bst. So, it was hat somebody else was going to share the burden and at least tank these ogre bois.

  And so, the trio started fighting the ogres. But soon enough, Dark Bst came out of cooldown.

  WHISH! A wave of darkness ed the entire camp, delivering the ogres to their graves!

  Well, not quite. The two smaller ogres buckled over, but the big boss survived somehow. That ky boi wasn’t so easy to take out, even for an early-game Dark Knight.

  Still, the Dark Bst erased 80% of the boss’s HP. From there, it was a no-braio smack this dude to death.

  SPLASH! Yuel shot water.

  ZAP! Lars fired a ser beam, straight in the ogre’s forehead. Headshot!

  WHISH! Luke brought down his bde st, slig through the ogre’s ned torso. The st hit is mine!

  He was the oo finally deliver the big ogre to its death, earning the most exp and gold in the process. It was a little sneaky of him, almost equivalent to kill stealing.

  But, it was only fair. After all, Luke did most of the work here and he was the Jungler, so he was the most depe on ine from Jungle Camps. As suobody had any objes.

  I gotta git strong real fast if I wanna stay relevant. Luke thought. I’m ht now, but I won’t stay like that for long unless I farm like a pro.

  Such was the curse of Dark Knight. This css was always in a race against the clock. It had to abuse its overwhelming early-game power and snowball early, or else it’ll g behind and vanish into obscurity. Indeed, with great power came great responsibility.

  But, no worry. Luke grinned. I know all the gud tech. I’ve practiced this shit a billion times by now. So, I’mma snowball real gud on these scrubs, word!

  As, despite how much Luke was in a hurry to bee stronger, Yuel ordered for the power buff from the Ogre Camp to go to Lars, not to Luke.

  “Welp, I guess that makes sense,” Luke ceded without a fight.

  Getting the power buff would’ve been nice fetting stronger, but in the end, it was just a temporary boost. It wouldn’t make Luke permaly stronger.

  Not to mention, Dark Knight was already so OP that getting a temporary boost won’t even affect his camp clearing speed by much. Heck, even his ganking potential probably won’t see a notable increase.

  I’ve tested it enough times to know. Luke thought. Getting the buff really didn’t feel that different. Seriously, DK is so OP that you don’t even notice the damage boost, haha.

  Most of Dark Knight’s overwhelming damage came from the high base damage of Dark Bst. Oher hand, the sg of the skill was actually piss poor, so getting a power buff barely increased Dark Bst’s damage. It was unfortunate, but that’s life for ya.

  I’m actually surprised Yuel is aware of this stuff. Wasn’t he supposed to be a meta sve? How does he even...? Luke couldn’t pute any of this. Heck, the guy even had a name for this thing. How did he call it, again? Something like “diminishiurns”? Dude legit knows everything there is to know about the game, huh.

  With the Orc Camp demolished, it was time to move toward the destination.

  “Let’s do the wolves ,” Luke suggested.

  “Good idea,” Yuel agreed. “We’ll join you.”

  The trio traveled to the Wolf Camp near Bot Lahanks to Luke’s Dark Bst, they cleared the camp within seds. It was like pying the game on Easy Mode.

  Except for the fact it rapes my HP. Luke smiled wryly. He had used Dark Bst five times sihe game started, which resulted in losing 25% HP just for that.

  On top of that, Luke tanked some damage from mobs. So, in total, the damage accumuted to 30%.

  Yes, that’s right. Luke was already down to 70% HP even though nobody has even fought him so far.

  And, I’mma drop to around half HP after doing the camps in Top Jungle. Oh, and there’s the griffins, too. I better steal these now… which meara damage to myself. Seriously, this css is so maso.

  bined, all of that was a lot of self-inflicted damage. And, for what? Just for casting a dang skill. It was such a bruh moment.

  But, that’s also what made Dark Knight so iing to py. This maso css was hurting itself while dishing out big PP damage. So, Luke could go for a lot of crazy pys, but he also had to carefully monitor his health every step of the way.

  Though, I restore a lot of that missing HP real fast with one good gank. Luke snickered. I totally should go for it soon.

  This was one of the ued bes of pying Dark Knight as a Jungler. Out of all the existing roles, Jungler actually put Dark Knight’s passive to best use.

  The Soul Eater passive allowed the Dark Knight to restore 30% of his MaxHP upon sg a kill. A great passive overall, but a little hard to utilize in Top where progress was always slow as he the early-game.

  Oher hand, a Jungler had the freedom to roam to any part of the map and gank literally anybody. So, if Luke successfully scores at least one kill via a gank, he’d instantly restore himself back to full health. Yes, the passive was that broken.

  With this setup, Luke could burn a lot of his HP by casting numerous Dark Bsts, and theore all that HP in one fell swoop by sg a single kill. It was like a neverending loop!

  Hehe. You wanna learn how to do a fu’ infinite!? I’mma show you an infinite!

  With that said, it probably won’t be so easy. After all, his oppos today were her than the Leopards, the regional champions.

  I have a feeling these turtles gonna be real shook ohey realize I’m jungling with DK. Luke grinned. INB4 they all start hugging their towers to make sure I don’t get any ces. Welp, that’d be hirious in its own way, haha.

  For now, Luke focused on effitly farming the few jungle camps. It was too early to assault the Leopards directly. Before that, it was best to observe their movements a a feel for their game pn.

  Let’s see how them “pros” handle my DK. Luke smirked. I hope they’re total meta sves and got no idea how to deal with this, hehe.

  It sounded uhat high-level pyers will not know how to deal with Dark Knight, but stuff like this actually happened a few times in Ranked. Some oppos thought Luke was making fun of them with his jungling, so they attacked him early or tried to test his camps.

  Needless to say, it didn’t bode well for them. Basically, Luke whooped their asses.

  Of course, a high-level team like the Leopards was uo it such grave mispys. But hey, a man could always dream, right? Maybe, just maybe, this irregur pick will throw the champions off their game, just enough for Stratus to steal a sneaky win.

  Hehe, I already imagihe clickbait video. “The champions lost against WHAT!?” “You won’t believe this pick worked in a real match!” This gonna be gud.

  With such silly thoughts in mind, Luke headed to the Griffin Camp in Bot Jungle.
