Looking for the best junglers in Wild Rift Patch 7.3? Nunu & Willump and Rammus are two of our S+ picks on the Wild Rift tier list. Tank junglers are big winners because defensive builds can now help them clear camps as well as survive fights. Less time tied up farming means more chances to roll into a lane and decide it.

Why the Jungle Changes Favor Tanks

The new Smite monster burn deals true damage and scales with bonus health, armor, and magic resistance, alongside offensive stats. Non-epic monsters also deal half damage to Smite users. Riot explicitly designed the update to help different jungle classes keep pace while building their preferred items. Source: Patch 7.3 jungle changes.

That is the advantage behind our tank recommendations: the defensive purchases you want for the next fight also contribute to clearing the next camp. Faster clears become valuable when you spend the saved time ganking, controlling river entrances, or arriving first for an objective. Our jungle rework breakdown covers the full Smite and camp rules.

Nunu: Turn Camp Tempo Into Ganks

Nunu combines Consume's monster damage and sustain with snowball ganks that punish exposed lanes. Clear toward a lane your teammate can follow up on, then use the opening to take river control or prepare Dragon. Consume plus Smite also gives him a strong objective-finishing tool.

Snowball Barrage lost its 150% monster-damage modifier in this patch, but Consume, gank pressure, and the new jungle burn keep the tank build attractive. Use our Nunu jungle guide for the build and runes.

Rammus: Armor Helps You Farm and Fight

Rammus is especially attractive into teams that rely on physical basic attacks. Armor purchases strengthen that matchup while contributing to the new jungle burn. After clearing, Powerball gets him toward the next play, and his taunt gives allies a clear target to focus.

Choose Rammus against attack-heavy teams, or Nunu when you want snowball ganks and objective control. Both still need teammates close enough to follow their engage. Check the Rammus jungle build, clear toward a useful play, and make your next gank count.
