How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge cannon poke

A good Jayce perma-spaces and chips you down with cannon-form Q before you can touch him — don't get poked.

Short trades after 4

Survive to level 4, then take short trades — that's your window once your kit is online.

Run from his counter

When he swaps to hammer form, run from his E knockback — don't stand in it trading.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never chase him into his spacing — a good Jayce just kites back and pokes you out, so farm safely instead.
