Jax Grandmaster at Arms

Unmatched in both his skill with unique armaments and his biting sarcasm, Jax is the last known weapons master of Icathia. After his homeland was laid low by its own hubris in unleashing the Void, Jax and his kind vowed to protect what little remained. As magic now rises in the world, this slumbering threat stirs once more, and Jax roams Valoran, wielding the last light of Icathia and testing all warriors he meets to see if any are strong enough to stand beside him...

MetaBot Tips

  • Jax has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Jax has less damage per game than most other damage dealer champions. Your value to the team may be better oriented towards crowd control or securing objectives.
  • Jax has a much early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
  • Jax 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.

Gameplay Tips

Playing Jax

  • Jax can Leap Strike to friendly units, including wards. You can use them to plan your escape.
  • Jax benefits greatly from items that have both Ability Power and Attack Damage such as Guinsoo's Rageblade and Hextech Gunblade.

Playing Against Jax

  • Try to engage him in short bursts instead of going toe-to-toe with him. Preventing him from attacking consecutively drastically lowers his damage output.
  • Jax can dodge all incoming attacks for a very short amount of time and stuns enemies in melee range when it ends. Wait to strike him until after his dodge is finished.
