• Introduction

  I don't have a lot of time to make a pretty guide, but this guide has been field tested with great results on v1.0.0.108.
  
  I always jungle if there isn't another jungler on the team. Start with life drain and blue buff, clear the jungle in whatever order you want after that. If you did blue buff right when it spawns it will be back up somewhere between 7:30 and 8 minutes. Don't try to creep dragon alone... this patch gave dragon magic resist making it much more difficult for Fiddle.
  
  If there is another jungler on the team then try to take mid or the solo side lane. A solo lane will allow for better gold farm and a faster ult. There shouldn't be any difficulty surviving in a solo lane. If someone gets aggressive terrify them and run away. Fiddle is not meant to 1v1 without a level advantage. Play conservative until you get level 6. Only attempt to do damage or kill another player if you can get a terrify off inside your tower range. Focus on last hitting creeps.

• Masteries + Runes

  Max utility masteries and put the rest in offensive.
  
  I use magic penetration, ability power, and health runes. I've seen some guides recommend ability power or magic penetration for quintessence runes, but I highly recommend movement speed instead. The bonus movement speed from your masteries and runes will make kids rage.

• Summoner Abilities

  Exhaust - Combo exhaust with terrify and life drain.
  Ghost - Most people swear by flash with Fiddle, but I love the versatility of ghost. It can be used to get to a battle if teammates get into trouble, to get out of a battle, and in combination with your ult. Ghost with ult is great because you can keep enemy players inside your ult and then have the speed to chase down and finish someone or to run if your under heavy pressure.
  
  Good luck and God speed!
