I think the written part is outdated indeed. As you can see in the section you mentioned, it was written when Spirit of the Ancient Golem still gave tenacity. Spirit of the Elder Lizard is the way to go nowadays.

For me, Golden Aegis is maxed second in the cheat sheet, just like mentioned in the guide.

Also have a look at Vynertje's post above.

My only questions Why is Spirit of the Elder Lizard in the "Tank" build but is then featured in the "do not build" section as a "noob trap"?

Also, Why is Golden Aegis maxed last in the build but said to be maxed second since the nerfs in the main description, is the main build out-of-date?

Really good guide. Helped me alot in learning j4 and what to buy and when to buy it. The on thing is that the the list were you show what items to buy they are different then the explanation on items like spirit of the elder lizard is told to never but on the list it says to get that. Overall great build.

This guide says it was updated in June 2014, but it appears very outdated. Without a solid explanation of how golden aegis generates a shield of 1000 as it claims is possible or properly updating everything if that is no longer possible, I can't support this guide. It is also vague if he is just shield stacking different abilities from teammates and locket, or if the golden aegis itself was somehow manipulated to be that strong.

Also, positions like "always build golem over elder" is questionable, since the majority of jarvan wins in LCS summer split were building elder lizard. While this doesn't necessarily mean "omg omg build elder lizard", it definitely suggests the item is *viable* to some people, so statements like "never build it" are either outdated or just wrong.


He builds lizard in the cheat sheet. I think he meant to say in the title that it was 'under construction'

This is outdated, SoAG is no longer the most gold efficient jungle item on J4 after the health nerf. SoAG is the new noob trap, SoEL masterrace!



you mean the upcoming change to it?


afaik there hasn't been any changes to jungle items for like 3 patches now

Thanks for this guide ! =)

I have a question : Do you still think Randuin is a core item for Jarvan IV after the nerf ?
and do you think most bruiser should continue to buy it over sunfire cape as a first health and armor item ?

Great build and guide but i'm confused..... the items on the starting of the guide tells to get different items then the standard build. I know that the banshee is situational to GA, the brute can be built into the cleaver and the hydra is situational to that. But what is the thorn and frozen (I know they are situational to something and that they are for almost the same purpose) is it the spirit because in the items at the beginning doesn't say to get the locket nor the spirit. So if you can please tell me what items are situational from what the actual standered build is. Cheers
