I managed to get a game as him jungling. It seems really strong.

He clears well even without a leash, his health sustain through the early game is incredible (and mid/late game it's trivial), and his ganking is extremely strong.

Options to engage a Gank includes.... Anything involving the Grav-Cannon (Sniper, Sickle or Chakram Q, into Grav Q for a long range root, Sickle Q and just run at them to permaslow... into a root.). Sickle Q and just running at them, it applies red buff or just does a lot of damage with a speed boost. Chakram turret can block off exits.

Not going to exaggerate, ganking without Grav is sorta lackluster, but the good thing is that churning through weapons is very fast in the jungle so it only takes a few camps of farming before you can cycle the weapons back to it even if you just expended it. Mana isn't much of an issue in the jungle. Or in the times when a gank is really needed at that exact moment (to countergank, or if they're really overextended..) then Grav isn't actually needed and just showing up with any of your weapons will usually be enough. Enemies can't keep track of what weapon he has so they don't exactly know what to expect of his ganking.

I will say that one weakness of it is that his dueling power is entirely dependant on his weapon, he usually has 'some' way of dueling an invader which jumps on him but most of the time it isn't very good.... although other times he has the Chakram which actually facemelts any enemy which jumps on him. Or if he goes hunting after them when he has the Chakram, chances are it will be successful.
