When playing skye jungle I like to actually start at my first "Regen" Camp. Skye has fairly quick clear speeds which will allow her and her roam to clear the camps at an above average speed, taking minimal damage. If the enemy team chooses to invade, skye can easily overpower them in a skirmish at this level. And the chances are, they won't expect you to clear your jungle as fast as you do, and you can catch them off guard!
CP Skye is a monster in the game at the moment. Her team fight and solo duel capabilities are tremendous due to her outrageous CP scaling on her ultimate and A abilities. As Skye jungle your main objective is to get the most money you possibly can. After purchasing 2 CP items and a pair of boots, I would suggest "tanking up". Skye is a very fragile hero and very easy to catch with cc. In the early game , use your Roamer to tank the lane by leading in with an auto attack followed by a Suri strike. Then simply burst the enemy down with your A ability and reap the rewards. In team fights your objective is to position your ultimate to the best possible position. Try to focus is it down on the enemy carry, or even the tank. The massive slow and CP damage will melt characters past astonishing levels.
Travel Boots: Simply for the stats. Boots are a must on every champion in the ranked Meta as they not only get you around the map faster, but also increase your HP Regen and Max HP stats.
Broken Myth: One of the strongest items to get on Skye. Skye's main damage abilities both cause damage over an extended period of time. By shooting enemies with your A or trapping them with your ultimate , you will at the same time be causing extended damage as the abilities go on, as well as offering great shield peirce.
Frostburn: Perfect for chasing down foes, as well as kiting. I reccomend buying this item first on Skye as it will help you secure ganks on the lane , as well as kite away enemy invaders.
Shatterglass: DAMAGE. Simple enough. The raw power given by shatterglass, combined with the amplified damage of the Broken Myth + Shield peirce will allow skye to deal her outrageous amounts of damage. I reccomend buying this item as your 4th or 5th purchase, as it is a luxury item.
Aegis: I prefer to choose Aegis over Crucible merely for the stats and scenarios in which skye will be using the active on this item. Typically as Skye you will be attempting to Suri strike your opponent as often as possible, however sometimes this will land you in a sticky scenario. Aegis provides substantial Shield and adequate armor stats as well as providing the reflex block active. I reccomend getting this item after upgrading your boots to teir 2.
Metal Jacket: This final slot can be replaced by any situational item. I enjoy purchasing Metal Jacket for its economic bargain as well as the raw amount of armor it provides. This armor will allow Skye to survive assaults from various ***asains in the meta , such as Taka and WP Ardan, as well as having an easier time dueling Snipers and even Tower Dicing and kraken fights. This item is purely situational and can be replaced by whatever is needed.
Thank you for reading my first ever guide here on VaingloryFire! My IGN is xVintage. I am fairly new to the Vainglory scene, however I am planning to rise the ranks and play competitively.
