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 Rek'Sai

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from where she surfaces

    Keep your distance when she's burrowed near you: with Un-burrow (W), enemies near where she surfaces take a knock-up.

  2. Back off when her Fury is full

    Back off when her Fury is full: Furious Bite (E) then deals true damage.

  3. Save your CC for after her Rush

    If you have CC, save it for after Void Rush (R): she's untargetable first, then lunges at her target and can't be stopped.

  4. Destroy her tunnels

    Destroy every Tunnel (E) you find by standing on an entrance: it's a lasting path she reuses to escape or to gank.

  5. Stand still when you're hidden

    When hidden in a brush or the fog of war, stop moving if she's burrowed near you: Burrow (W) only reveals to her team unseen enemies who move.
