Introduction

Hello! Aresous is here with a new kind of guide. This is my first guide I have ever made, so go easy on me. It's experimental really, and turns out to be great! Have fun with it, get pentakills, and spam /taunt in the middle of your lane before 1:00 minute.

Skill Sequence

Ability Sequence
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
Jax's skill sequence. Max Empower first for awesome bursts with, then maxed out, Leap Strike.
Your Counter Strike comes last because leveling does not give more time of dodging, which is what you use it for, not damage.

Spells

Ignite for obvious reasons (early game kills, help getting that 1v1 kill, etc.).
Exhaust to help you jump on them with your Leap Strike if they're running away.
You could use Flash if that's your fancy, as well as Barrier, but Ignite and Exhaust are hands down the best for Jax
Back to Top

Tips

Jax is a gap closer, so if you need to get to that ADC use your Leap Strike
When playing Jax, you want to use the same combo over and over again. The combo goes as following:
Empower >> Leap Strike >> Counter Strike (wait for it to run out) >> Grandmaster-At-Arms
