Playing as Jayce

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke through your gate

    In cannon form, fire Shock Blast (Q) through Acceleration Gate (E) from the start of lane: the orb gains speed, range and damage, and it's your best poke.

  2. All-in with the hammer

    To all-in, switch to hammer: leap in with To the Skies! (Q), activate Lightning Field (W), then knock your target back with Thundering Blow (E).

  3. Auto after every swap

    Land an auto after each weapon swap: switching to Mercury Cannon (R) reduces your target's armor and magic resist, and your first hammer hit deals bonus magic damage.

  4. Swap weapons to escape

    To escape, swap weapons then walk through Acceleration Gate (E): Hextech Capacitor (passive) and the gate each give you move speed.

Playing against Riven

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after her dashes

    Take a trade once she has used Broken Wings (Q) and Valor (E): those are her dashes, on cooldowns of 13 seconds and 10 to 6 seconds.

  2. Back earlier once she hits 6

    Once she hits level 6, back earlier: the Wind Slash of Blade of the Exile (R) deals more damage to enemies missing health.

  3. Interrupt her combo

    If you have CC or a silence, use it during her combo: all her mobility comes from her spells.
