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 Nunu & Willump

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Change direction against his snowball

    Change direction sharply when Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) comes at you: it moves fast, but he turns slowly while pushing it.

  2. Move away from Willump

    If the Snowball Barrage (E) snowballs slow you, move away from Willump: when the spell ends, he roots slowed enemies close to him.

  3. Leave his blizzard fast

    Get out of Absolute Zero (R) fast, or interrupt it if you have CC: the slow grows stronger, and the explosion hurts more the longer he channels.

  4. Don't leave him alone on an objective

    Don't leave him alone on an objective: Consume (Q) deals true damage to monsters and adds to his Smite to finish the dragon.
