Warwick Build
the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun
Warwick is a monster who hunts the gray alleys of Zaun. Transformed by agonizing experiments, his body is fused with an intricate system of chambers and pumps, machinery filling his veins with alchemical rage. He bursts from the shadows to prey upon those criminals who terrorize the city's depths. Warwick is drawn to blood, driven mad by its scent… and none who spill it can escape him.
The most played Warwick Jungle build on patch 26.21 runs Lethal Tempo with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, plus Celerity and Waterwalking from the secondary tree. Take Smite and Flash. Start with Gustwalker Hatchling, then build Blade of The Ruined King, Plated Steelcaps and Stridebreaker, followed by Death's Dance, Spirit Visage and Sterak's Gage. Max W (Blood Hunt) first, then Q (Jaws of the Beast), then E (Primal Howl). It has a 51.4% win rate and a 5.5% pick rate.
