Playing as Jax

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start trades with Counter Strike

    Start your trades with Counter Strike (E): you dodge autos and take less area damage, and each dodged auto adds damage to the stunning counterattack.

  2. Look for long trades

    Look for long trades: each consecutive auto increases your attack speed thanks to Relentless Assault (passive).

  3. Ward hop to escape

    To escape, place a ward and jump to it with Leap Strike (Q): it can target any unit or ward, allied or enemy.

  4. Activate your R up close

    Activate Grandmaster-at-Arms (R) up close: it only grants armor and magic resist if it hits a champion, and your bonus hits then land every other auto.

Playing against Ryze

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when he marks you

    Back off when Spell Flux (E) marks you: marked, Rune Prison (W) roots you instead of slowing you, and Overload (Q) hits you harder.

  2. Target him when he comes close

    If you can engage, target him when he comes close for his combo: he has no dash to get away.

  3. Interrupt his portal

    If you have CC, use it on Ryze while Realm Warp (R) is charging: it cancels the portal.
