Karthus into Rammusmedium

Overview

Prioritize full clears early to leverage your superior clear speed and avoid early fights against Rammus's level 3 power spike.
Focus on scaling through efficient jungle tempo and avoid river contests without lane priority or vision.
Use your global after level 6 to impact fights without risking early skirmishes.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears toward your safe side to hit item spikes before Rammus can force fights.
Contest river objectives only when your lanes hold priority to avoid Rammus's high gank threat and taunt engage.
Use vision to track Rammus and counter-gank his early pressure; punish his slower clear speed by invading safely.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Rammus can lock you down with engage and taunt.
Be cautious during low-health clears as Rammus can punish your vulnerability with fast ganks or invades.
Respect forced smite fights at objectives if your lanes lack priority, as Rammus's engage and tankiness can swing fights.
