Fiddlesticks vs Hecarim

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to hit level 6 quickly and avoid early river fights where Hecarim's speed and engage threaten you.
Use your ultimate (R) to control vision around objectives and force fights on your terms, leveraging your scaling teamfight impact.
Accept low early invade resistance and focus on vision denial and tempo to outscale Hecarim's mid-game aggression.

Jungle Plan

Execute efficient multi-camp clears while tracking Hecarim's pathing to anticipate his ganks and counter-ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and you have vision control to avoid Hecarim's speed engages.
Use your ultimate (R) from fog to set up ambushes around Dragon and Rift Herald, forcing fights where Hecarim cannot leverage his mobility.

Danger windows

Be cautious during early clears when your health is low and you lack level 6; Hecarim's speed can punish isolated jungle fights.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority as Hecarim's mobility and fear (E) can force unfavorable skirmishes.
Respect forced smite fights near objectives when Hecarim can use his ultimate (R) to disrupt and fear your team.

Early game

Start with a full clear path to reach level 6 before contesting Scuttle or river objectives.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Use resets to sweep vision and prepare for objective setups after your first clear.

Power spikes

At level 6, use your ultimate (R) to create fog ambushes that can decisively turn fights and punish Hecarim's engages.
Your very high clear speed allows you to reach key item spikes faster; leverage this tempo to deny Hecarim farm and objective control.
Respect Hecarim's mid-game power spike when he gains items and his ultimate (R) fear engage becomes a high threat.

Win conditions

Convert your superior clear speed and vision denial into controlling Dragon and Rift Herald fights by setting up fog ambushes with your ultimate (R).
Use level 6 power spikes to gank from unexpected angles, forcing Hecarim to play reactively and denying him tempo.
Trade cross-map camps when Hecarim invades early with priority, using your scaling and teamfight impact to outvalue his mid-game dives.
