Playing as Jarvan IV

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Flag first, then lance

    Plant Demacian Standard (E), then cast Dragon Strike (Q) toward it: you fly to the flag and knock enemies in your path into the air.

  2. Start with an auto

    Land an auto as soon as you reach your target: Martial Cadence (passive) adds damage based on their current health, then only triggers on them again after a few seconds.

  3. Trap a carry in your arena

    Cast Cataclysm (R) on a carry who is away from their team: the arena is impassable, and you can recast to collapse it if it gets in your allies' way.

  4. Plant your flag near your allies

    In teamfights, plant Demacian Standard (E) near the allies who are attacking: it gives them attack speed while they stay close to it.

Playing against Ekko

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid his third hit

    Take short trades: his third hit on you, auto or spell, triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and a burst of speed.

  2. Leave his Q field

    When Timewinder (Q) expands on you, leave the field: it slows you, and the device hits you again on its way back to him.

  3. Get out of his sphere

    Leave the Parallel Convergence (W) sphere as soon as it appears: if he steps into it, it stuns every enemy inside.

  4. Aim where he'll reappear

    When he's low, don't chase him blindly: Chronobreak (R) brings him back to where he was 4 seconds earlier and damages nearby enemies. Ready your spells on that spot.
