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 Urgot

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't circle around him

    Don't move around him during a trade: Echoing Flames (passive) fires from the leg facing his target, and each leg has its own cooldown.

  2. Trade after his Disdain

    Take a trade when Disdain (E) is on cooldown: it's his only dash, the one that stuns the first champion hit and throws them behind him.

  3. Stay above 25% health under his ult

    If Fear Beyond Death (R) impales you, back off and stay above 25% of your max health until the effect ends: below that, he can drag you in and execute you.

  4. Back off during his Purge

    Back off when he activates Purge (W): he deals and absorbs a lot with his chain gun, but moves slower during the effect.
