Top-4 rate of boards where Jarvan IV held exactly these three items. Thief's Gloves builds equip random items, so they count as one build.

100% of full Jarvan IV builds are defensive items — players use Jarvan IV as a frontline that soaks damage while the carry deals it. That differs from Jarvan IV's listed role in the game files — ranked players use it differently.
