Default Farming with furion


I've just started playing with furion in pubs and i just wanna ask, is it a good thing to jungle from the start of the game if ur teammates can handle the lanes?

It's quite debatable, starting off at the jungle knowing that you have allies that can easily handle the lanes on their own can give you the needed EXP advantage, not only for you but for your allies as well, not to mention all the easy gold.

It depends on how you like to play Furion. Personally, I play a carry/disable Furion, focusing on killing heroes by teleporting around, so I don't get Force of Nature until Sprout and Teleportation are maxed out. Meaning I can't jungle. If you're fine with getting a level of FoN early, then you can jungle. The exp boost for the extra solo is considerable though...but you won't be leveling quite as fast.

A hybrid jungle + pulling strategy can be extremely effective though.

Some Furion play him with global pressure even at the earliest phase of the game while other just play him farming around and will apear with fast items.

Go for the jungle, your safe lane teammate will love to pick a solo hero. It's easy and you can teleport for gangs (skill build 3/2/3/1/3) without leaving an empty lane.

Hi OP.
Yes.

Doesn't mean you should always jungle with prophet but he is very competent at it. If you do jungle then get a quick hand of midas (provided your lanes are going along smoothly) and get those items rolling in so you can start being useful with ganks/pushes.

It all depends on what role you plan to play in your team. Furion is great at laning and jungling. If you are going to jungle it will delay your ganking capacity till mid game as you will be maxxing Force of Nature (FoN) and won't be able to return to your farm or trap with sprout that easily if you did not max FoN as these abilities would still be on relatively low levels. I rate it depends on the strength of your allies and whether they can handle their lanes without needing you to gank until you've completed your necessary farm or leveled your Teleportation or Sprout enough to be useful.

Can I insert a question here? Is it OK to leave jungle at level 5 and start adding pressure to pushing? preferable a lane that can't do jackshit to creep waves and that is with the assumption that your mana will hold up.

After a successful TP-gank, yeah, semi-tower push but know when to back out.

The usual Furion playstyle involves jungling with treants and then TPing around with sprout for ganks on med low hp targets.

So just go jungling, but keep an eye on the minimap and whatnot.

It actually depends. If one of your teammates would really benefit having a solo hard lane then go jungling right from the start, but always look at the mini map for some gank opportunities. a Jungling-Ganking furion is far more superior than a AFK farming furion IMHO

There is no need to max FoN early, either get 2 levels of it and get Basillius and one clarity, or 1 level with Basillius and 2 clarities. With minimum of micro you can jungle easily, let Furi tank a bit too, so you don't waste your base regen. Then you can invest points into tp/sprout and gank, plus you can push easier after succesful gank.

You should have great map awareness in which you can set up ganks with your global TP. Mix that with farming with treants = you'll be a wrench to the other team

FoN early is the popular build nowadays, altho what he said isnt true. You only need 1 lvl of sprout and 1 lvl of teleportation early games, so you can still max that FoN early game. Maxing FoN have no significant impact with your ganks whatsoever, and in fact FoN is used to push early.
