Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Masteries
Introduction
Jarvan is one of the best team players in the game. his knock up is handy in a team fight, as is his attack speed increase. This build makes sure your team will have those advantages as long as humanly possible. Trust me no on will be calling you a feeder with this build. If they do, don't forget to remind them that you are Jarvan the fourth and don't give a **** about what they say. **** them.
Masteries
I went with the basic 21-0-9 masteries. If you want to be more tank than that you can always go 21-9-0 for the extra boost to magic resistance and armor. but since this is not for tanking I would recommend the extra xp increase instead of the small armor increase.
Skill Sequence
(Q) Dragon Strike is going to be your main mode of lane harassment. You may not start with the move but it will prove to be quit a pain in the *** for the enemy team. just make sure you don't shoot it on a flag you dropped and "accidentally" fly into an enemy tower. This used with your can knock up your enemies. This move takes priority after you have one point into all of your moves.
(W) Golden Aegis is your defensive move. It can however be useful in chasing. It gives a small armor increase and slows surrounding enemies. I use it Immediately after using the + combo. It helps to slow your enemies right after you knocked them up. This move takes final priority after and your
(E) Demacian Standard gives you a passive attack speed increase that can be increased even further if you drop it. This is why I always start with it. Dropping it can also cause damage to an enemy but, using it to harass really isn't worth the mana cost. Your is much more effective. Now when using your + combo be sure to put the behind the enemy with some distance to decrease the chances of a dodge. This move take priority after
(R) Cataclysm is your ult. This can be a very tricky move to have be effective. Mostly because champions can either flash out of it or use a move to jump out. Another backside to is if an allied champion is not in the circle he cant just walk right in (or out) so you may have disengage by re-clicking (R). The key to Cataclysms success is prioritizing. Try to land on the poor soul who can't jump out and try to avoid somebody with an insane AOE like Karthus or Katarina.
Items
I always start with this because having started with i have a slight increase in attack speed. It is also a good item to start with because you can built it right into a
and then eventually a
. If you really want some attack damage you can always start with the other component of the phage the
.
I build this because it is fairly cheap and gives me a little bit of everything including a chance on a slow which is always useful.
These come before the complete
because why would you wait any longer to get boots.....your enemies aren't getting any slower ya know. Besides you this will be the only attack speed increase you get until
Follow up with the complete Mallet because of the on hit slow. it is key to attacking and finishing because you not not have he attack speed to chance them escaping. The slow from is simply to weak on its own. The health given from this will soon prove to be much more useful.
Now the health from
will pay off. This is a very good defensive dps item. It gives armor and critical chance on top of damage equal to 2% of your max health. The damage isn't overpowering from it but its enough to hold you over for a bit. If you don't but it all at once, start with the
before you get the
. Survivability is more important than a slight crit shot.
Now it's time to get your attack damage and speed up. Yes sirs it is time to get you cleaver. This will put you over the top from mediocre to insane. Do I really need to explain why. If you need a purchase order
followed by
Okay lifesteal is great but the key to the
is the stacks that it builds for an additional 40 damage and 10% lifesteal. these stacks go away if you die. So don't be bad and die. To ensure that you don't die we shall finish the build with another defensive item. since at this point you are doing about 300 damage at 1.4-1.8 attack speed depending on weather or not you have a flag down.
the last defensive item you get depends on who on the other team is being a ****. If you want more armor go
if they are magic based ****s then go with [banshee's veil] you really can't go wrong with both. Since they both give health you will still get a slight attack damage increase thanks to your
Farming
You may find farming a little challenging at first because you don't really have the attack speed to get the last hits before your ******* minions take it, but once you have your + combo you can kill the mage minions and do enough damage to the melee minions that they are just one shot away from being dead. Just don't abuse it because you don't want to blow through you mana to quickly.
Team Work
The main thing you are going to want to start with is your + combo. Unless they have an ult that you want to interrupt like nunu's or katarina's ult. The other key component to your team's success is your ult. How to use it properly is listed under the skill sequence chapter.
Summary
Well that's how you rock out a Jarvan sirs. I hoped you liked it.
