Jax Jungle guide

Jax jungle runs the same scaling duelist kit one map wider, built around Counter Strike (E), Empower (W), and Leap Strike (Q): dodge camp or skirmish damage with Counter Strike, land Empower for bonus damage on the follow-up attack, and use Leap Strike to reach camps, champions, or reposition, while Relentless Assault (passive) continuously ramps his Attack Speed on consecutive basic attacks.

The build

Rune page: Lethal Tempo, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Counter Strike (E) at level 1, then maxes Empower (W) first with Counter Strike (E) second and Leap Strike (Q) last. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling and a Health Potion, into Mercury's Treads. Core build: Trinity Force, Sundered Sky, and Zhonya's Hourglass, with Dusk and Dawn, Blade of The Ruined King, and Death's Dance as later options.

Ability mechanics

Counter Strike (E) lets Jax dodge all incoming attacks for a short duration, then counterattack and stun everyone around him. Leap Strike (Q) lets him leap toward any unit, striking it with his weapon if it's an enemy. Grandmaster-at-Arms (R) adds magic damage on every third consecutive attack and can also be activated to deal damage around him while raising his Armor and Magic Resist for a short duration.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Lee Sin, Kayn, Nocturne, Graves, Viego. Best matchups: Briar, Sylas, Master Yi.
