After clearing the griffins in Top Jungle, Fiona rotated to Top Lahere, she helped elia establish ne trol against her oppo.

  Ohey cleared the enemy wave together, Fiona immediately moved on to the scheduled py. "Please ehat the Knight stays under his tower for a while. I pn to iheir jungle.”

  "But, isn't it dangerous?" elia asked. "I think their Jungler has respawned by now?" She opened up the menu to verify. "Yes, as I thought - their Jungler is ba ission. I khat a noble such as myself wouldn't miss such a crucial detail, ohoho!"

  "Yes, I am aware that their Viking has respawned," Fiona said. "heless, I believe I get away with a little more ter-jungling."

  "Is that so? Very well. You're a noble, so I shall trust your judgment on this matter."

  With that sorted out, elia proceeded to preoccupy the enemy Knight with a strong push. She had many soldiers to spare, whereas the enemy’s army was in ruins. Therefore, the peasant had no choice but to flee in terrainst elia’s noble assault, ohoho!

  Meanwhile, Fioured into the enemy jungle. With the Knight busy proteg the tower, the only one who could possibly interfere with this ter-jungling attempt was the enemy Viking.

  From what I have seen of his pystyle thus far, there is a very high ce he will try to attack. Fiona reasoned. However, his bat skills did not impress me, so I do not believe he will pose a real threat.

  There was undeniably some risk in this py but the reward was too tempting to pass on. ter-jungling earned spoils for the team while simultaneously denying these same resources to the enemy. It was an integral part of pying Ju a high level and some degree of risk always came with the territory.

  In any case, I have to make this quick. Fiona assaulted the Wolf Camp on the enemy side of the jungle. So far, our odds of winning this game look barely aer than 50-50. Therefore, I have to ensure my GPM remains above average as we transition into the team-fighting phase.

  Most roles in this game were stu their respective nes and had to follow the standard gold-per-minute pace set by the game designers. There were a couple of ways to boost the pace, such as sg kills, but such opportunities were not easy to e by.

  Oher hand, the Jungler had the freedom to decide its own fate in that department. Though there were general guidelines for how to best traverse the jungle in order to maximize the farm, there was never a 100% fixed rotation the Jungler could follow in every game.

  In addition t, the Jungler was expected to ambush nes and fill in for missing ners even in the early-game. And, ohe Jungler deviated from the reended rotation even ohey were thrown into uncharted territory. From there onward, it to them to make adjustments to their jungling routine based ouation at hand.

  This made farming substantially more plicated for Jungler. However, in exge, the Jungler had the freedom to travel to any part of the map ahe best opportuo capitalize on. This was the main quality that sold Fiona on the role.

  With this much flexibility, she could help any ne on demand in order to improve the team’s overall position. Furthermore, with swift deaking, Fiona could boost her farming speed far beyond what ossible for any of the ning roles.

  The calcuted path she traveled from Bot to Top as she ter-jungled was an example of how these tects of the Jungler role could be bined into one advantageous line of py. Just by killing the enemy Jungler, Fiona mao gain this much advantage for the team.

  However, as elia warhe enemy Viking expressed dissatisfa at this turn of events. One of the wards revealed him approag Top Lane, possibly to assault Fiona.

  Will he seek vengeance? Fiona wondered. An oppo hellbent on payback is often proo making mistakes. I do not think this should bother me.

  Fiona ighe ining threat for now and focused on finishing off the Wolf Camp. She estimated the Viking would not get here in time to stop her, therefore there was o retreat just yet.

  And ihe Viking only showed up after she was already dohe fact he failed to stop Fiona in time must have further fueled his burning desire for vengeance.

  Hmm. We are both out of ultimates. Fiona analyzed. I try to take him on, but this HP gap makes it difficult.

  Fiona was at 70% HP after all the ret fights and ter-jungling. Meanwhile, the Viking came here straight from his base, so he was sitting at 100%.

  Based oa so far, Fiona's bat skill was superior to the Viking's. However, was it superior enough to pensate for the 30% HP difference? Debatable.

  I should not take more risks than necessary. Fiona thought. With that said, I have no pns of losing HP without a fight, either.

  The Viking advanced on her without thinking twice. He must have believed he had full trol of the situation in this territory.

  In Fiona’s experiehis sort of attitude was quite on in Ranked matches. It seemed pyers teo believe they held some sort of innate advantage when they were in "their" area of the jungle.

  Iy, both sides of the jungle were ral zohe Viking had no allied structures here, nor did he receive any buffs in this region.

  The only actual risk in this region was the possibility of getting ganged up on by multiple enemies. However, elia was currently pushing Top, f the eop Lao defend. And, for now, the enemy Mid Laner was still ba his ne as well, as could be clearly seen thanks to Andria’s field of view.

  In short, nobody was free to nd the Viking a hand in this attack. Therefore, despite this iaking p “eerritory”, Fiona had no qualms about engaging in bat.

  The Viking swung his axe at Fiona but she easily sidestepped it. It was a thoughtless, barbarian attack, befitting a Viking. The man simply unched an attack at the first opportunity that preseself without even b to get closer. Such base offense would not work.

  Unfortunately, Fiona could not terattack after backstepping. The Viking's axe was slower than Fiona’s cws but it had a longer reach. She would have to get right in the enemy’s fa order to properly fight back.

  However, she was not ied in any of that. Her top priority here was to safely escape the area. As such, she backpedaled farther away from her oppo while keeping a close eye on every move he made.

  Lionfolk was a bit faster than a Viking by default, and Fiona also bought plenty of Movement Speed to optimize her rotations. As such, she had no problem beating her oppo in a sheer test of speed.

  However, her current position was not optimal for simply dashing away. The jungle had many twists and turns that would slow Fiona down. Furthermore, the Viking had Axe Blitz for closing the distan the blink of ahe man will surely make use of it wheime is right, so Fiona had to make her escape in a way that would rehat idea impossible.

  The greatest escape tool she had at her disposal was Majestic Leap, which she made sure to not spend during her ret pys. She had been fully aware that a situation like this might occur, so she made sure to prepare for it.

  Majestic Leap allowed her to jump over a jungle wall, which erfect for esg from a predator in these parts. But first, Fiona had to get close enough to such a jungle wall.

  Furthermore, it had to be a wall that would be hard for the Viking to circle around. Only then, Majestic Leap would fully secure Fiona a escape with no ces of enemy pursuit.

  In order to get into that optimal position, Fiona had to eain her oppo for a while. And so, she stared the man down as she slowly backpedaled toward her destination.

  As long as I do not turn my ba, he would have to stay on his toes. Fiona reasoned. She purposely made it look as if she accepted the invitation for a fight, which put her oppo on guard. The Viking must have felt that he could not simply sh out attacks without thinking, or else he would get punished for overextending.

  A cautious predator is a slow predator. Fiona asserted as she tinued her sloedaling. At this rate, she would achieve her goal of retreating from the area without a si.

  It might have seemed excessive to put so much thought and effort into making one seemingly “simple” escape. Most pyers would have likely settled on turning around and making a break for it right away without sparing the situation a sed thought.

  A naive approach like that would definitely work, but it would likely cost the pyer somewhere between 5% to 20% HP depending on how things develop. Fiona saw no reason to pay such a cost if she could get away unscratched. After all, losing any amount of HP could always lead to grave sequeer down the line.

  And so, instead of turning her ba her foe, Fiona tinued backpedaling toward the wall. The eime, she kept her attention on the assaint to ensure she would be able to step out of any ining attack.

  It seemed the Viking realized that rushing in blindly would not do him any favors, so he did not unch a sed attack right away. He was smart enough to uand that Fiona would easily step out of any predictable attack from this range.

  As the predator in this position, the Viking's goal was to deal as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time. As such, he dashed forward. Clearly, his pn was to unleash a flurry at Fiona from point-bnk!

  However, this was yet another example of amateurish rashness. The moment the man stepped in too close - Fiona shed out at him with her cws! SLASH!

  Most likely, the man assumed Fiona would not retaliate at all, seeing as she was the "prey" in this situation. But, that is a misception on your end. Fiona asserted. There is nothing about this situation that truly paints me as a "helpless prey". I have every legitimation to retaliate.

  Fiona’s attack probably surprised the Viking, maybe even angered him. So, his response came out immediately. WHISH!

  At this distahe axe had no trouble reag Fiona. However, that alone did not meaack would ect.

  Predictable. Fiona rolled underh the ining attack. She saw that retaliation ing from a mile away, so she calcuted the best response in advance.

  After she finished rolling, she turo face the Viking once again and tinued backpedaling to safety. Shortly, she reached the position she was aiming for. She activated her Majestic Leap and jumped over the jungle wall.

  And so, Fiona slipped away from the so-called "hunter". However, it seemed the man did not realize this was over. He tried to give chase as if that was an endeavor worth iing in.

  But, naturally, the Viking failed to catch up. As the Jungler, he should have uood the yout of the map better than that.

  Fiona had many different escape routes to choose from in this part of the map, so it was impossible for the Viking to track her down even if he had the speed to catch up. In essence, what he had just done was a total waste of time.

  He seems like the eager type. Fiona analyzed. I should keep that in mind.

  After making that mental note, Fio on to attack Mid. That was the closest point of io her current position, so she went there without wasting any time idling. Every sed ted for the Jungler, and Fiona was fully i on utilizing every fra of a sed.

  In terms of camp rotation, her destination should have been the Hyena Camp in Bot Jungle. However, heading over there straight away would be a missed opportunity to shake things up in Mid. So, she chose to slowly get closer to that destination while lending a hand to Andria.

  After the two of them successfully overwhelmed the enemy ner, Fiona finally rotated to the Hyena Camp. Then, she went to the Ogre Camp, then the Wolf Camp, and finally, she attacked Bot Lane. She ed all these pys seamlessly without wasting any time iween.

  During the atta Bot Lane, Fiona first chased the enemy Carry into their side of the jungle. However, as soon as she realized she would not be able to score a kill here, she shifted her focus toward the enemy’s Ogre Camp. With Karen's aid, they took down the camp within moments.

  Fiona took the red buff for herself in order to boost her jungling capabilities and save up even more time in the juhis was not an easy choiake because giving the buff to the Carry offered its ow of advantages, but heless, Fiona chose to prioritize herself this time. Karen did not pin about this aher did the rest of the team.

  With the red buff in hand, Fiona was able to rotate even faster through the jungle objectives. , she went to the Griffin Camp in Bot Juhen, she attacked Mid again. After that, she rotated to the camps in Top Jungle.

  Fiona directly ed each of her moves into the . She did not permit herself to waste even a split sed at any point along the way.

  As, despite Fiona's effit rotations, the team found itself in quite the peril. elia was uo match her ne oppo in strength, which led to a gradual deterioration of the uation there.

  Of course, Fiona did what she could to help with the uation. She passed through Top La every good opportunity that preseself.

  As, it was impossible to babysit Top the entire game. Fiona stantly had to keep moving across the jungle in order to secure objectives, so elia had to hahe situation on her own most of the time.

  When Fiona was not present on the ne, she provided advid instrus. Unfortunately, from afar, she was uo handle every problem that emerged over there…
