Well, the jungle strategy depends on wether or not you're able to communicate IRL with your fellow jungler. Because the best strategy (in the devs' opinion) is one player Tanky such as Glaive or Catherine with an Ironguard Contract who takes the hits from the jungle creeps, the other teammate such as Koshka or Taka who takes the last hits from the monsters, except the healings ones. Why might you wonder ? Well, let's devellop this strategy : the Ironguard Contract passive grants you with 20 gold every 5 hits, plus the fact that every time a teammate kills something near you, you'll get like 20% of the gold amount. So if you let yourself get hit, you'll get gold from the hits, and from the fact that your teammate got the last hits. In the end you'll receive only a slighter amount of gold than your teammate, because you'll get the money and heal from the healing creeps (since you take the damage, you have to heal yourself).
This permits one very useful thing : since you're most of the time together, you won't be caught up alone by the two enemy junglers. You'll level almost as fast, but with an indeniable bonus : the safety.

But but but, if you're like me, you'll mostly play on solo queue, with unknown teammates. So this technique will not work. In solo queue, if you see your teammate starting with a Ironguard Contract, don't do it too because if the enemy is smart, the enemy junglers will buy offensive items, they'll have the upper hand and invade you (maybe even kill you if you can't escape in time).

So, to resume : one tank with an Ironguard Contract, another not tanky with an offensive item.

The rules-to-follow-if-you-can are :
1- Stick with your other jungler as most as you can. This will prevent you from being killed too much.
2- Don't ever do nothing. If there aren't any creeps in the jungle to kill, invade the enemy jungle or prepare for a gank in the lane.
3- Don't spend your whole time trying to kill heroes. Farm. Farming is important because it will bring most of the gold and experience.
4- Use the pings without toxicity, watch the map. Place mines in the bushes near the gold mine (to see when an enemy enters your jungle) and one behind the gold miner to see whenever the enemy team is trying to take it.
5- Help your laner whenever he is in need (when is pushed back to his turret for example). Don't leave him the whole time alone, except if he is kicking the other laner's butt. Always remember that is part of your team and as such, a personn to protect and help too.

Those are the most important rules I would say :)
