As the royal family of Demacia for centuries, members of the Lightshield line have spent their lives waging war against any who opposed Demacian ethics. It is said that every Lightshield is born with anti-Noxian sentiment in his blood. Jarvan IV is no exception, even though he is the first Lightshield born to the age of the League of Legends. As his forefathers had before him, he led Demacian troops into bloody engagements with Noxian forces, and on many occasions he has bled alongside wounded allies and fallen comrades. In his most crushing defeat, he was outmaneuvered and captured by a Noxian battalion under the command of Jericho Swain. This mistake nearly cost him his life at the hands of Urgot, but he was rescued by the Dauntless Vanguard, an elite Demacian strike force led by Jarvans childhood companion, Garen.

Those close to him believed that his capture changed him. Xin Zhao was quoted as saying: "His eyes never seemed to look at you, only through you to something he could not look away from." One day, without warning, Jarvan IV handpicked a squad of Demacian soldiers and left Demacia, vowing to find "atonement". He began by tracking and hunting the most dangerous beasts and bandits he could find in northern Valoran, but he soon tired of such prey. Seeking something that only he understood, he ventured south of the Great Barrier. He wasnt heard from again for nearly two years. After many had assumed the worst, he returned to glorious fanfare on the streets of Demacia. His Demacian plates were adorned with the bones and scales of creatures unknown. His eyes bore the wisdom of someone twice his age. Of the twelve soldiers who had departed with him, only two returned. In a tone as cold and steady as steel, he swore to bring the enemies of Demacia to their knees.

Jarvan IV

He is a initiator champion who can take alot of dmg and deal huge amouts of dmg to enemy or enemies. He works really well with this build, and Riot Games has made a great champion this time, about time a real hard dps character came out, not a tree not a freak but a real king!


1. Phreak's Tank
2. Dps

This rune build is my best choices, since you don't have so much dmg at start, and thats my the armor penetration is insanely on this champion. You give out a great burst dmg.And the HP you get from the seals are so effective, of-course you can for example pick attack-speed, or dodge but dodge then you want to change the masteries to get more effectives out of the runes, and the attack-speed you get huge amount of it from your E and the And later, while you are building banshee's veil you get some magic resist under the way.
