Introduction
This guide has no pictures too, so ITS SERIOUS.
Jarvans ultimate can be extremely useful in a 1v1 fight, or helping a fellow champion. If I happen to get into a 1v1 fight with someone and I need that extra amount of damage I will pop my ult. It seems like a waste but it isnt. I will only use his ult if its a forsure kill though. For example, I see one person trying to cap the storm shield buff. I will pop my flag onto them and hit them up into the air with dragon strike, than proceed whacking them with basic attacks ( passive helps a lot). I see that my ults ready, so I keep attacking him until we both get down to about a third of our health. I will than pop my ultimate and hit them a few times to finish them off. people dont expect this. They dont expect DEMACIAAA, followed by a huge chunk of their health being ripped off.
Jarvans Ultimate can also be used to trap a single person in your entire teams kill radius.
I just cant stress enough how effective his Ultimate is. Say me and my teammate see sion hugging a turret. Me, Jarvan the initiator he is, will pop my flag and hit him up with dragon strike. I than pop my ultimate to prevent him from kiting and use golden aegis to absorb a tower shot or two. If I somehow dont kill him, I'll pop flash and get outttttta there. If i didnt egt him, my teammate sure will. I know this is VERY general, but just bear with me, im just describing a few strategies here.
Windmill(top tower) is where Jarvan shines. I usually hide up top in the bushes above the tower and wait for a unsuspecting enemy. As soon as one person tries to come and cap the turret, I'll come running out, throwing my flag and knocking him/her up. If done right the tower will also hit the enemy champion once or twice. This is extremely effective early game. Just be wary of multiple champions approaching. Two enemy champions and you still have a chance, 3 defend with your life, 4 recall or just get outta there with ghost.
Note: ^--- This can be used at other towers, but is a bit more tricky.
-He can defend and kite very well.
-You can save teammates and feel like a hero.
-He can take a bunch of damage while dealing a decent amount at the same time.
-He can escape a gank easily with the power of flag jumping+ghost+flash.
-He is just a all around good character for everything.
-His passive is ridiculous.
-"DEMACIAAAAAAA" - Jarvan himself
Flash:
I use this spell ALWAYS. It is extremely useful for getting out of battle quick and easy, and not mentioning ganks also. If you initiate a fight and get low on health somewhere down the line, just flash out of the battle and let your teammates take down the enemy champions trying to get that last hit on you.
Ignite:
Can be very useful, a flag knockup+catalclysm+ ingite will surely put a big notch in there health bar.
Exhaust:
This can be used to get a advantage in a fight or for simply making a getaway. self explanatory.
Ghost:
Useful for catching a enemy or running away from a enemy. When your making a getaway, try and hit the closest speed buff for a giant speed advantage.
Revive:
Just please no, its a terrible spell to be using in dominion. It has a 10 minute cooldown, and games usually last only 15-20 min.
Every other spell I havnt really used enough to give you any specific advise, so thats why im going to refer to my above statement and say, use whatever you think your best with. (I strongly advise flash though XD)
Onto another point, if you saw someone being chased by a enemy champion through the forest and your close by, go save them! Its a good chance that the enemy has already been partially weakened already, so this your moment to be a hero. Rush in, pop your flag, knock them up, and use Golden aegis. This will hit them up into the air for a second or two and slow them by 20% for a few seconds also. You can also most likely get the kill too :D! If theres more than one champ, than just run as soon as you use your shield, and flash if necessary.
Onto another point, keep scanning your map as much as you possibley can. If you and two other teammates are defending top, and bottom is getting ganked by 4 people, recall and run over there as fast as possible! Trust me, your teammates will love you.
Onto another point, If you see theres three of you trying to cap top, when there four people defending, run over to their mid tower and start to cap it. You may only get it to neutral if your lucky, but it sure will panic the other team and break them up enough for you guys to cap it. As soon as you see a enemy running towards you, run. Its most likely there'll be more on the way.
I just cant stress enough, keep checking your map, keep tabs on where your enemies are and how your teammates are doing.
