MetaBot Tips

  • Jarvan IV is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
  • Jarvan IV tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
  • Jarvan IV has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover damage taken very well.
  • Jarvan IV has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Jarvan IV has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
