Hecarim vs Fiddlesticks

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Hecarim's fast clear and high mobility to maintain jungle tempo and punish Fiddlesticks's slower early pathing.
Focus on controlling river Scuttles and contesting early objectives before Fiddlesticks hits level 6 and gains ultimate threat.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize fast camp cycling and reset tempo before dragon or Rift Herald to leverage speed and engage threat.
Use high mobility to counter-gank predictable Fiddlesticks ganks and punish his low early invade resistance.
Force objective fights when (R) can reach enemy carries from fog to capitalize on teamfight initiation.

Danger windows

Respect Fiddlesticks's level 6 ultimate ambush; avoid isolated river fights without vision.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Fiddlesticks can collapse with (Q) fear and silence.
Avoid invading when nearby lanes lack priority, as Fiddlesticks can capitalize on counter-ganks with his high gank threat post-6.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward lanes with priority to maximize level and item spikes before contesting.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated river fights.
Avoid early direct invades against Fiddlesticks before level 6; instead, track his pathing and prepare to counter-gank.

Power spikes

Spike at level 6 with (R) fear engage; use this to force fights and secure objectives before Fiddlesticks scales.
Exploit Fiddlesticks's power spike at level 6 by denying vision and punishing his immobility before his ultimate threat becomes active.
Use Hecarim's fast clear speed to reach item spikes earlier, increasing dueling and gank threat.

Win conditions

Convert camp tempo and fast clears into aggressive counter-jungling to deny Fiddlesticks's scaling.
Use (R) engages to force and win objective fights around dragon and Rift Herald.
Leverage superior gank angles and speed to snowball lanes that overextend, increasing map control and objective access.
