Jarvaniv Jungle guide
Jarvan IV jungle is built around Demacian Standard (E) and Dragon Strike (Q): drop the flag with Demacian Standard, then use Dragon Strike to pull himself to it, knocking up and lowering the Armor of everyone caught in the lance's path, before finishing with Cataclysm (R) to wall a target in with the rest of his team.
The build
Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Demacian Standard (E) at level 1, then maxes Dragon Strike (Q) first with Golden Aegis (W) last. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Sundered Sky, Black Cleaver, and Guardian Angel, with Profane Hydra, Death's Dance, and Eclipse as later options.
Ability mechanics
Dragon Strike (Q) extends Jarvan's lance for physical damage, lowers the Armor of enemies it passes through, and pulls him to his Demacian Standard (E), knocking up anyone in his path. Demacian Standard (E) passively grants him bonus Attack Speed and can be activated to plant a flag that deals magic damage on impact and grants Attack Speed to nearby allies. Golden Aegis (W) shields him from harm and slows surrounding enemies, and Cataclysm (R) leaps him onto a target, damaging nearby enemies and terraforming the area into a walled arena around them.
Matchups
