Overall Gameplan Top
As a jungler, your gameplan through the early and mid game should have two goals. One: Farm as efficiently as possible. Two: harass and hopefully kill the enemy damage dealers. When going in on a target, the number one thing to keep in mind is DO NOT use your invisible to engage. This will leave you stranded with no way out if it goes poorly, or there are enemies around. Your engagement should go like this:
-use x-retsu to engage.
-swing with one auto attack to proc tension bow and/or aftershock.
-use kaiten, and follow up with another Auto attach, hopefully proccing aftershock again. They will likely be dead or close to it by this point.
-use kaku, and walk away while invisible.
In the late game your priorities shift, albeit slightly. Your goal is no longer to farm, then harass/kill the enemy damage dealers. Now it is SOLELY to kill the enemy damage dealers. Farming is irrelevant once everyone is full Build, and harassing is much less useful, as it does not deprive the enemies of farm. Your goal should only be to kill the enemy damage dealers, so your team can pressure the board as they please, roaming as 3, and taking any team fight presented to them due to a numbers advantage.
Right out of spawn, build into two weapon blades, and a halcyon potion for sustain. The weapon blades will turn into a tension bow to start out with some crazy burst. Yes, I know it's a crystal build, but above all else the purpose of this build is to provide burst, and there is no better item for that purpose than tension bow. Additionally it will help with clear. The damage will fall off later, but not before netting you a sizable lead early on.
Mid Game Build Top
After rushing tension bow, build into aftershock for even MORE burst, stopping along the way only for tier one boots, and possibly a reflex block. Once you have all of these, your tension bow will be dropping off fast, so you will want to sell it soon, and start building into defense.
Defense selection Top
This is more or less the only place the build varies from game to game. After building aftershock, evaluate where most of the other team's damage is coming from, and build accordingly. For high ability damage teams, build aegis. For high weapon damage teams build metal jacket. However one defense item will probably not be enough, and you'll want another, probably a health item. If you built aegis, you already have the reflex block effect, so build into slumbering husk to avoid being bursted. If you build metal jacket, you'll really want a reflex block effect, so buy a crucible.
Late Game Build Top
If a game goes long, by the end you will want to have sold your tension bow, built the full build, as described above, and start popping crystal infusions.
