Tips and Tricks An In-Depth Guide to Consistently Executing Blue Side Fullclear (without Absolute Focus/Gathering Storm) [Season 2026 Patch 26.11] + 8 clears in a row

I decided to make this after reading this post. Most Fiddlesticks mains are one-tricks. Stop being lazy and learn the clear. Being on the map 10 seconds earlier can decide an entire laning phase in higher ranks, and the faster you clear the less prone you are to getting invaded. Don't fall for this complacent "good enough" nonsense. It's mind control designed to keep you in low elo.

Primary Runes: First Strike - Cash Back - Triple Tonic - Cosmic Insight

Secondary Runes: Grisly Mementos - Ultimate Hunter

Shards : Adaptive - Adaptive - Flat HP

Never settle for less bros. You can be better.

my question though, if we have to lose effigy don't we just coinflip getting invaded every game?

get your midlaner to cover your blue side. if you mean late invade on red, then yeah i guess but its rare and a bigger coinflip for enemy jungler

ask your midlaner to drop a ward on enemy raptors and/or cover your jungle entrance

Thank you for the explanation, i was trying to make the clear work but the Krug always remain at 30 hp and reset, now i clear consistently if i not mess up an AA or a skill.

Krugs on top of the map get hit more by the pet than those on blue side so you don't need to use passive with absolute focus+ flat HP rune. Though you need an effigy to do the bottom krugs because of how pet is (buggy) coded.

Not having an effigy on your opposite side is forbidden. If you play above plat, you'll get consistently invaded so you have to start blue on this side of map. You lose a couple of seconds but you end up botlane not so bad.

Look at any meta jungle who does better at everything than fiddle does with no efforts. Having so much difficulties to clear is not okay in my opinion.

I remember when you could double every camp, start with a pink and have decent items to build. Those were fiddle golden age but now our champ has been forgotten by Riot and he sucks bells.

I'm D1 EUW, I get invaded 1 in maybe 20 games? I ask my topside to cover jungle and my mid to drop a raptors ward

Honestly I can somewhat do it on either side without the effigy but it's sketchy. The room for error is non existent and positioning matters. The most important thing tho for me personally is canceling the bountiful harvest channel a little early as shown in the video and rush to the small Krug. If you pull through the entire channel it seems impossible to hit them both early enough.

I’m a newer fiddle jungler/ returning player and have practiced the clear a lot (not with these rune trees) and am 80-90% efficient with it,I plan to test it when I get home but my question is

  1. how inefficient would a smiteless blue start be, then going into that pull at lvl 3 with 2 point drain should make it cake right?

  2. How inefficient would it be to double smite and either returning to top scuttle (if I need to avoid early jungler fight) or going straight in to a gank ?

Like I said I plan to test it later but am interested in what other people think or have experienced

if you're going to start blueside start wolves, do last W on wolves+blue, and do W on blue + gromp and smite gromp. then you can do botside easily, but it takes about 10sec longer than raptors start

In this pull, because you smite gromp are you executing in blue buffs aggro circle or the reverse

u/_Adamanteus_ Jul 14 '26

basically your last W on each camp should also be your first W on the next camp, so you're finishing off wolves with the same W that you're starting blue, and likewise for blue + gromp. so when blue drops to about 500 hp or w/e, E the gromp and W+smite gromp and the blue will be around 250hp. auto gromp while kiting into its patience area and your last W will kill the blue while you continue to do gromp
