Build divergence notescross-source synthesis

Consensus across both aggregators

  • Keystone: Conqueror (both)
  • Core items: Trinity Force, Plated Steelcaps, Sundered Sky, Black Cleaver (items 1-4 match exactly across both sources)
  • Summoner spells: Flash + Smite (both)
  • Skill order: differ — Jungler.GG runs Q > W > E, WR Meta runs W > E > Q

Where the aggregators diverge

  • Item differences: Jungler.GG → Chempunk Chainsword, Serylda's Grudge (items 5-6) — leans damage / anti-heal. WR Meta → Sterak's Gage, Amaranth's Twinguard (items 5-6) — leans bruiser survivability; Chempunk/Serylda move to its situational pool.
  • Late-game flex: WR Meta enumerates explicit boot-enchant alternatives plus anti-comp swaps and a counters list; Jungler.GG publishes one canonical build.
  • Skill priority disagreement: Jungler.GG leads Q (single-target damage); WR Meta leads W (cone clear + waveclear/jungling speed). Both are documented Xin patterns.
