Playing as Jarvan IV
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Sejuani
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her charge
Dodge Arctic Assault (Q) to the side: enemies it passes through take a knock-up, and the charge stops on the first champion hit.
- Leave before her second swing
Get out of range before the second swing of Winter's Wrath (W): it deals most of the damage and slows.
- Watch her melee allies too
With Frost stacks on you, watch out for her melee allies too: their autos apply them, and at 4, Permafrost (E) stuns you.
- Don't be first in her bola's path
Don't be the first champion in the path of Glacial Prison (R): that champion is stunned, longer if the bola comes from far away.
