Introduction

Welcome to my guide for Da Ji, The Nine-Tailed Fox!


I am a casual player who primarily plays conquest. My Elo is top 1%, for a casual player, I primarily know what to do in the jungle role. Specifically on Da Ji.
Da Ji remains my favored Jungler by far, thus this is a build for Da Ji in the Jungle role.

Do note: there are two builds above. The first is for the standard non-anti heal build, while the second is against healers or lifesteal.

This is my first SmiteFire guide, and I intend to update it, so feel free to comment on things that should be added/edited.


Regardless, I thank you for reading my guide and please upvote if it helped you!

Items


Item 1

Jotunn's Wrath is my preferred choice right after boots. Some players prefer to build The Crusher after the boots, but I feel that the extra cooldown from Jotunn's Wrath will help you much more early on.

Item 2

Da Ji has exceptional damage over time with her 1, The Crusher adds on some extra DoT. If the enemy has a lot of heal or lifesteal, you're going to need to replace The Crusher with Brawler's Beat Stick to counteract some of that healing.

Gameplay

An idea of what to do
When you spawn pick buy the starting items that I showed in the build above. Some people choose to buy fewer potions and get the hand of the gods consumable. When items are bought go over to your speed camp and with you mid laner. Use your One Thousand Cuts to clear the camp. After the camp is cleared hit the jungle shrine and get the harpie camp.

After clearing harpies, head to the blue buff and make sure that the solo lane player will get the exp from the camp. Go to the mid lane and if your mid laner is out clearing the enemy mid lane, go get their red buff, if not get your red buff. Clear the mid exp camp and at this point, I see if I can gank duo lane, this usually goes well. Rinse and repeat this, looking for ganks and clearing camps. This is a very simple guide on what to do; things change every game; this is a great start.

If you need antiheal you would be getting it after boots, not 4th item

Honestly IMO it depends a bit on how your team is building and the game is progressing. If you have had some impactful ults I would grab Jotunn's
or if your mage rushed divine you can delay it.

And since you got jotunn's you can still build it 3rd if healing was a bigger problem than expected. (it will delay the powerspike hydra's give but for antiheal it's often worth it)

Just out of curiosity.. if you ever decided to build AA build what would that build would look like?

Vini_sds (13) | May 19, 2019 6:56am
You wouldn’t, because Da Ji is an ability-based Assassin, not a hybrid or AA-based one.

Gulfwulf (81) | May 19, 2019 7:46am
What Vini said. If you insist on going the AA route, then something like Ninja Tabi, The Crusher, Hastened Katana, Hydra's Lament, The Executioner, Qin's Sais; you can add in Stone Cutting Sword situationally or as a boots replacement. Don't expect to be very successful with this route, though.

I would just upgrade One Thousand Cuts first due the clear faster in camps. I don't think you will lose so much upgrading this (except the burst but the damage will remain almost the same).

I semi agree here, recently I picked up Da Ji and I have loved this journey. When I play her, I bring her 2 up to level 3 early game, allowing for it to clear camps and minion waves extremely quick, however I immediately rush her 1 and finish her 3 before upgrading her 2 while maintaining level up of her 4 level up exactly as you have it.

xmysterionz (71) | March 13, 2019 4:23pm
I usually upgrade her 2 to level 4, then I just upgrade 1, return to the last point on her 2 then her 3 and for last the 4 points on her ulti

Good builds, nothing that really stands out to me that's wrong. However I would, (when you have the time), add some other sections to the guide such as a 'gameplay' section that goes through the various stages of the game for Da Ji detailing how to play her.

Thank you for your input! I will definitely keep adding more to this.
