Nakoruru: the jungler you actually get to play
Lam gets banned in like 40% of ranked games. Nakoruru is what you pick when he's banned. She's not quite as oppressive, but she's got similar strengths — strong early ganks, good mobility, and the ability to one-shot squishies. The difference is she's a bit easier to play and has a more forgiving escape.

💡 Tips
- Nakoruru's S2 is a leap that resets on kills. In teamfights, use it to jump from target to target — it's what makes her feel so slippery.
- Your Ult is a massive AoE execute. Don't open with it — use it to finish low-health targets.
- She's better at ganking side lanes than mid. Her leap range makes it easy to jump over walls for unexpected angles.
- Nakoruru falls off slightly in ultra-late game. Close games out before 20 minutes.
🗡️ Lam vs Nakoruru: Lam has higher carry potential. Nakoruru is more consistent and gets banned way less. If you main jungle, learn both.
