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 Taliyah

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't cross her minefield

    When Unraveled Earth (E) is on the ground, don't cross it with a dash or get thrown through it by Seismic Shove (W): the stones explode under you and stun you.

  2. Engage after Seismic Shove

    If you can engage, go in after Seismic Shove (W): without it, she has nothing left to push you back, and no dash to escape.

  3. Knock her off her wall

    If you have CC, save it for Taliyah while she surfs on Weaver's Wall (R): once immobilized, she stops surfing immediately.
