Eye Of The Jungle) gives us a large stat bonus, and absurdly high objective damage. You mathematically will deal the highest objective dps of any character in the game

Seer Of The Jungle
Hidden Dagger
Healing Potion
Purification Beads
Golden Shard
Rushing crit right away is very strong on mercury, as he has one of the highest attack speed stims in the game. By building crit early, we are capable of incredibly high dps at an early point in the game, which makes our fight much stronger.
This build is for solid late game damage, but you get your damage as early as possible.
Seer Of The Jungle
Rage
Fail-Not
Serrated Edge
Devoted Deathbringer
Bloodforge
Temporal Beads
Aegis of Acceleration
Demon Blade.
Mantle of Discord would be built if you want a stronger 1v1 against the enemy jungler, or you want to be harder to kill while you ult in on the enemy backline.
Magi's Revenge is good into junglers that force beads, or if you find yourself having to relic before you can deal damage.
These items would replace Demon Blade.

Passive -
 Fastest God Alive Mercury gains increased auto attack damage for his next auto attack, scaling by distance traveled. Additionally, he gains bonus physical power from his movement speed. Fastest God Alive gives you additional damage on your first hit, and the bonus power from movement speed items is why you want to pick up speed buff/buy movement speed items.

Ability 1 -
Made You Look Mercury punches, dealing aoe damage to anyone in a location of his choosing. This ability can crit. Made You Look is your main damaging ability, and used on cooldown to clear camps/hit enemy gods.The ability being able to critical hit is one of the reasons why Mercury scales hard with critical strike. |
|
Ability 2 -
Maximum Velocity Mercury gains movement speed passively, and when this ability is activated he gains a massive amount of attack speed and immunity to slows. Maximum Velocity is the second reason Mercury scales so well with crit, as it supports the built-in attack speed from this ability.
|
|
Ability 3 -
Special Delivery Mercury dashes forward, grabbing the first enemy god hit and throwing them towards a direction of his choosing. Special Delivery is your escape ability, but can also be used aggressively to disorient the enemy.It is very powerful if the enemies do not have beads, and throwing them against a wall will keep them closer to you, allowing more auto attacks to land. |
|
Ultimate -
Sonic Boom Mercury charges up a long dash, increasing in range the longer he charges. He can choose to cancel, or to dash forwards a very long distance, damaging and stunning enemies hit. Sonic Boom is his gap closer and initiation, used almost every time you dive. It is one of the reasons why  Blink Rune is not necessary on Mercury, as this ability has more than enough range to hit an enemy.

Made You Look Special Delivery > Auto Attack > Maximum Velocity > Auto Attacks Special Delivery with Made You Look as you run towards the enemy. Sonic Boom > Maximum Velocity > Auto Attacks > Special Delivery Special Delivery once they recover from the stun, which will CC chain any enemies without relics.
Mercury has a weaker early game in comparison to the other junglers, but his dash Special Delivery is very powerful at CC'ing the enemies. Don't initiate any fights, but if the enemies dive, don't be afraid to Special Delivery aggressively. Mercury has gank pressure with Special Delivery, his early game is weaker compared to most junglers. It's best you farm up for your ultimate Sonic Boom, as the rotational pressure it gives you is very strong. Use it to ult down minion waves, beating the enemy jungler to the fights. Sonic Boom to force relics or possibly kill them. Having 
Aegis Amulet makes your disengage much easier, as the threat of the enemy jungler is much lesser. Sonic Boom on the enemy backline. Sonic Boom into the teamfight. Mercury has a strong 1v1, but some enemy junglers can force your relics and escape, leaving you vulnerable to the next engage. It's best for you to hang back and wait for the Fire Giant fights to begin, then Sonic Boom into the fray. If it's up to you to make an opening for your team, you can try pushing the mid waves slowly. You can disengage with Sonic Boom if the enemy team rotates, there's a chance of a jungler 1v1, and if nobody comes you may get a free phoenix. Sonic Boom into the fights once they have begun, or take the Mid Pheonix if nobody comes to you. Some junglers may win the 1v1, so consider your objective as wasting the enemy teams time.
Mercury is one of the strongest late game gods, but struggles to keep up early game pressure. Use your movement speed to your advantage, outfarming and outrotating the enemy jungler. It doesn't matter what the enemy jungler could do if they never make it to the fights to begin with. Your 1v1 becomes insanely powerful after your first few crit items, as you do large amounts of damage. Throw some hands!
