Playing as Jayce
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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 Urgot
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
