Introduction
Jarvan`s Lore: 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 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 Jarvan����¯�¿�½������¢������¯������¿������½������¯������¿������½s 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 wasn����¯�¿�½������¢������¯������¿������½������¯������¿������½t 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.

I take Haste and Cripple because they are both viable on Jarvan.
Wait, I just said squishy, Why wouldnt I get defense? Oh wait. Does More Xp mean earlier 11? Yes. Does level 11 mean strong ultimate compared to 7-9? YES. If you don`t agree, go ahead with Dodge and **** like that. I`ll face you. We`ll see who wins.
People say this about his E ability: "Lead it to get the knock up. NEVER do this. The damage of the flag is equal to the damage you will deal if you knock him up.(Unless at the end of the build) Good Jarvans (Like Me) Can hit him with the flag and knock up 80% of the time.
Jarvan can easily take the Mana Buff. This cures his mana problems and is why I dont get anything to do with mana.
(WARNING) To be a sucsessful Jarvan, you need teamwork. Tell your laning partner to get in melee range of your target, then ultimate. You win. See a guy with low - med hp? Gank. Ultimate. Knock Up. (W)Slow. If still alive: Knock up. Sucsess.
Also keep in mind that a full Occult will up your Q by 110 damage, and your ulti by 150. Play cautiosly untill you max it.
