Jax is a melee hybrid dps champion,who relies on items and specializes in dealing tons of damage,and absorbing some punishment aswell. is one of the bests solo top champions,because of his massive damage output,and overall tankiness,there are few champions that can 1v1 Jax.If you like dueling,feel free to try Jax

Ability explanation



Great passive,will give you some awesome attack speed per hit,making you a feared duelist



This is your gap closer/escape skill,you can use it on enemies,or allies,but it obviously will not damage your allies



This ability will deal tons of damage,and it resets your attack timer,so you can use it after a basic attack,to attack twice.This ability can be used before your Leap Strike to deal bonus damage.



This will make you an excelent counter to melee adcs,such as Master Yi or Fiora.It blocks all the basic attacks dealt to you for a short duration,and after that ends,it stuns all the enemies that are nearby,dealing damage based on how many attacks jax dodged.



Your ultimate have two parts,a passive one and an active one

Passive:Hitting 3 consecutive times enhances Jax's next attack,dealing bonus magic damage.

Active:Active: Jax gains 25/35/45 (+30% of his bonus attack damage) armor and 25/35/45 (+20% of his ability power) magic resist for 8 seconds.

This is an OP spell,let me tell you why :
He deals the bonus damage,even when your ultimate is on cooldown.Time your third attack with your Empower to deal tons of damage to a single target.

On teamfights,activate this and jump to their ad carry,your ultimate will make you tanky enough to soak heavy damage for your team.

Items

You can start three diferent ways,but your main goal early game is boots and at least one Doran's Blade,since its passive will give you some nice sustain early on.
Your next goal should be Blade of the Ruined King and Trinity Force,for sustain and damage output,never forgeting the wards.Grab level 2 boots when needed,and get some damage + durability items,to fulfill your role as bruiser late-game.

Playing Jax

Play passive early on.Try to last hit as much minions as you can.Last hit should not be a problem,since you have ad runes and masteries.Don't try to pick fights early on,since you will get out of mana really quickly.When you get level 6,is when you can begin to play a little more aggressive,because of Master-At-Arms passive,that will deal amazing damage.On team fights,your role is to destroy enemies that are nearby. Watch out for heavy cc,and always try to focus the enemy ad carry or ap carry,specially the ad carry.Don't worry about heavy damage,since Master-At-Arms will make you extremely tanky,and feel free to disengage if you are dying.
