Bumba's Dagger is the best jungle starter item right now, it’s also cheap enough so you can get 
Combat Boots. Combat Boots and forgoing any consumables is the more popular start this season which leads to an earlier power spike.

Bumba's Dagger is the best jungle starter item right now. Jungle is a role in which you will not skip a starter item.
Mace grants early power and an early 
The Crusher or 
Brawler's Beat Stick.
Hand of the Gods speeds up your start and lets you contest mid faster.
Multi Potion is my prefered start, however you may select whichever potions suit you best.

Warrior Tabi are the boots that Ne Zha uses best. His attack speed steroid will cover all the attack speed he needs. Brawler's Beat Stick is necessary when facing healing. Please, just build anti-heal. The Crusher is just a really solid item, but you do not build this when going with Brawler's Beat Stick.

Hydra's Lament is good because you get a nearly guaranteed basic attack after using 
Armillary Sash. It also provides cooldown reduction, which helps with Ne Zha’s long cooldowns.
Arondight is a solid item to buff your chase. It also has 75 power which is used well due to Ne Zha’s good scaling.
Shifter's Shield is on the list. Ne Zha is a great bruiser and it’s a very strong item right now. He also isn’t a naturally tanky assassin so this helps a ton.
Ancile still is the best magical defense hybrid item for a low price.

Bruisers are great right now and even though it got nerfed Ancile still is the best magical defense hybrid item for a low price.

Heartseeker is what you'll probably replace boots for, it is very expensive so wait until later to build it when opponents have lots of health.
The Sledge is a hybrid item which helps with your survivability. Ne Zha has a low health pool and good scaling so it’s a good item for him.
Void Shield is another hybrid item that you can build if you don’t go Shifter's Shield, it’s a little bit more team-focused so maybe wait until late to build this but if your opponent has lots of protections definitely give this a look.
Titan's Bane is an item I wasn’t super fond of last season because your goal as an assassin was to jump onto the enemy carry and mid-laner. But now that 
Sentinel's Embrace is very strong, these backliners will have a lot more protections being given to them so having percentage penetration can be useful. I wouldn’t really buy this if the opposing support isn’t building protection sharing items.

Blink Rune is the go to for most Assassins in the jungle, but against high CC teams, you may get this as your second relic and go 
Purification Beads first.
Aegis Amulet can be used against teams with little CC and high burst damage.
Horrific Emblem is a very niche option in the jungle, but against comps with high mobility, it may be worth considering.
Magic Shell is another niche second relic choice that works well against teams that have multiple auto attackers.

- Passive - Righteous Spirit
Righteous Spirit is a really awesome passive for people like myself who can’t stand being slow. Keeping this passive stacked is really important so make sure to keep your jungle pathing as clean as possible. You’re generally going to be much faster than your opponents especially in the early game so if an opponent is out of position make sure to take advantage of that. This movement speed somewhat counteracts the fact that your only escape option is your ultimate. On top of that, you can often out-rotate your enemies which can be really valuable as a support.
- 1 - Universe Ring Toss
Universe Ring Toss is your main clear and damage option and also what you’ll level and max first in all roles. The possibilities really are endless with this one. Enemy running and hiding behind their tower? Bounce it off their minions to finish them off. The whole enemy team is on your carry? Bounce it off all of them and slow them down. It’s much better when your targets are grouped up. You’ll really want to take advantage of the movement speed debuff given to enemies and the movement speed buff given to yourself. And to wrap it all up, it actually triggers your passive for each hit of the ring. Honestly, this is such a strong ability.
- 2 - Flaming Spear
Flaming Spear is a steroid which really starts to feel good around rank 3. The most important part of this ability is actually the healing. It gives Ne Zha a solid chunk of health which can really be life or death in some fights. You should really be abusing this in solo lane to maintain a HP advantage.
- 3 - Armillary Sash
Armillary Sash is just a really satisfying ability to connect. It doesn’t do a lot of damage and has no effects beside the CC so we max this one last. Armillary Sash is how you get into the battle. It’s also a really strong peel/setup option. It’s also a stun so it stops channeled abilities like Guan Yu’s Talou Assault or Fenrir’s 
Brutalize. On top of that, it has immunity frames so if you get good with the timing you can avoid a lot of damage. It can often burn beads because your opponent will expect a Wind Fire Wheels after, so make sure to check your opponent’s relics and abuse that! It’s important to keep in mind that it only works on gods, and you are stationary while firing.
- 4 - Wind Fire Wheels
Wind Fire Wheels is a really neat ultimate similar to Kumbhakarna’s 
Epic Uppercut. It’s a strong peel/teamfight tool because it keeps an enemy out of the fight for a couple seconds to let the rest of your team have an easier time. The enemy also falls back right where they were, so it works as a setup option too. It is also a dash so it can be used as a last-option escape tool. The damage is alright. Armillary Sash, get a basic attack, then use Wind Fire Wheels. Be careful though, your enemies will be ready for that combo every time, and often use Purification Beads early, basically negating your ultimate. So sometimes you can wait a second to bait out the Beads, then use your ultimate. You’re going to be spamming Universe Ring Toss as much as possible so just try to wait until the enemies are grouped up.

I agree with Bran that
shield of regrowth,
Personally I don't think
His Support has been significantly nerfed as they removed his HP scaling on his
More CDR is definitely needed for him to Support better too, as his 1/3/ult have long-ish cooldowns. With this in mind putting an item like
Solo needs
Criticisms aside, lots of accurate content in here and as a newer player for the most part I would feel fine using these builds. Nice work.
Like I said with the other guide, I'm not a huge fan of
I'll run a couple games with those.
I'm really not sure about going
Thanks for the criticisms.

Edit: Also the point with Jotunn's is that you sell it later on after you have Bumba's Hammer, it's just decent first item for the cooldown power spike, even if you overcap for a short time before you sell it.

A minor thing on the ult is that after you land, you bounce back to the point where you started the dash.
Maybe I'm just a
Crit is an option that I was planning to add later but I wanted to focus on the main build. I needed to get some crit games in, and thought it was more important to get the typical build out.
