Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Nasus

Extreme

Phase rush You can't really kill him because of his sustian. You also get killed after 6 because of the ghost/wither combo.

Malphite

Extreme

Conquer because i wanna kill him early. You need to play aggresive early so you get lead early and scale up. If he plays comet you can play kill him before 6. If he Q's you, you instantly switch to hammer form and Q him. You dodge the comet and get MR from your hammer form. After 6 this champ just get steelcaps and more armor.

Yorick

Extreme

Conquer Out of these 4 hard matchups. This one is the easiest. After 6 it gets hard because of the big maiden. Its all about dodging the E and not to get stuck in his W.

Irelia

Major

Conquer Hard matchup but i think its gotten alot easier because the champs got tankier, Don't give irelia a free spell. If she W you just wait. If you dodge her E. She misses alot dps. You can zone level 1 with Q and auto attacks.

Darius

Minor

Phase rush. Only E him when hes close to you so he gets knocked away further. You can autoattack in E animation so you can get a phase rush pop. Most darius players will ghost once they hit the E

Akali

Minor

Conquer Getting a Null magic mantle after first back helps for the lvl 6 all in. You can either build hextrinker or merc boots after 1 core item. Before 6 its really hard for her to play. Sometimes last hit with your hammer Q so you can get the splash damage off. Most akali players will panic and E. (Dont do this when she is full heatlth 6)

Gnar

Minor

Conquer or phase rush. Both work Easy matchup. Dont fight him in mega form.

Warwick

Minor

Conquer This champ cheeses alot champs but jayce smashes him in lane. Relax and you outscale him hard.

Jax

Even

Phase rush This one is 50/50 but it's definitely jayce favored. It's really easy if he goes lethal tempo. You just knock him away if he jumps on you. If he goes grasp. He goes 3 point in Q's and tries to poke you out with Q W sheen. You need to be careful with your using your hammer E here. If the matchup goes even you win in teamfights but loses on side.

Dr. Mundo

Major

Conquer for damage but phase rush also works for the jungle ganks. This matchup is hard because if he gets early frost gauntlet. You are stuck on him since you can't knock him away. Try to farm and don't get hit by his Q's.

Ornn

Even

Conquer Farm matchup. Really boring. His Q does maar damage than your Q. Dont give him a free E knock up. You should be fine. Flash his ult if it's really needed.

Urgot

Minor

Conquer Urgot is in a really bad state right now. Try to look for hammer Q on minnion and instantly walk back so you bait his E.

Quinn

Even

Conquer. Don't freeze in this matchup after 6. Your teammates won't be happy. You can get alot of tower plates when shes roaming. Don't hammer Q into he. Most quinn players react with E. You can hammer Q on a minnion or flash hammer Q so she doesn't have time to react. Scale matchup in my opinion

Camille

Even

Conquer If camille starts E, You also start E and kite her. This matchup is really snowball heavy. Try to dodge her E. Poke with range Q or hammer Q on minnions (shes not really close to a wall). You should be carefull if she hugs the wall.

Kayle

Minor

Conquer Kayle is also not in the best state This matchup is easy early on. You statcheck her. If she has bone plate. Try to auto attack before you all in. You can get a big advantage early on

Tryndamere

Major

Phase rush Start E if he level 1 spins on you. Try not to die. You are better in teamfights. Don't pick get tempted to pick ignite. You won't kill him early on. He has high base stats and alot of sustian.

Sett

Even

Conquer or phase rush. Both work. Try to dodge his middle part of W true damage. Don't hammer Q him after 6. He can cheese a flash ult on you and you can't get away. Don't stand inbetween minnions and his E range. You outscale him.

Sion

Major

Conquer Sion has been nerfed alot (Tower plates and demolish.) Farm up if he only proxy's. Try to not get hit by his Q stun. Killing him early is a way to get ahead. Be carefull with your shutdown :)

K'Sante

Major

Conquer or phase rush. This guy can kidnap you from tower. You are doomed if his team plays around you. Try to farm up. Dodge his knock up Q.

Shen

Minor

Conquer Shen state is really boring right now since he plays a support role top. Get tower plates if he tp's bot/mid. Jayce can wave clear really easily. Be careful to not get taunted in his tower. You can E him away so his blade gets stuck in the old place.

Fiora

Even

Conquer or phase rush. Both work. Try to walk away from vision so her vitals reset. Learn the timing from her W so you don't get stunned from using your hammer E. Her W sometimes last longer (Bug from riot :D). You are way better in teamfights but she outclasses you on side.

Mordekaiser

Minor

Conquer Short trade so he never gets his passive off. Don't get hit by his E. You can use your spells on the minnions while also doing damage on him. His wave clear is really bad.

Garen

Major

Phase rush or first strike Poke him early. Kite him around and don't trade your E for his Q. Some people take first strike to get a gold lead early. This matchup is really toxic after 1 item. He can one shot you if hes close. The matchup also could go your way and you dominate the game after,

Kled

Even

Conquer or phase rush Knock him away if he E on you. Don't knock him away when his Q is about to go off. Kled will roam but don't get tempted because he can ult you with his jungler.

Renekton

Even

Conquer or phase rush. If he starts you start E aswell to knock him away. If he gets 2 E off with pta he can kill you early or dive. If you don't get killed early this matchup becomes jayce favored because of the scaling.

Olaf

Major

Conquer or phase rush This matchup is a mix of garen and warwick Don't level 1 him except if you are confident to not get by his Q. Dodge his Q and you can kill him slowly. Don't hammer Q him when hes above 40% (Don't do it or you get cheesed and he runs you down) Going even in this lane is favorable for you.

Kennen

Even

Phase rush Farm lane in my opinion if both players are even. He doesn't wanna give you free Q but you also don't wanna give him free shurkins. Getting null mantle or hextrinker early works to not get one shotted.

Poppy

Major

Conquer I hate this champ. Don't short trade with her when her passive is up. You can never Q on her. You outscale but shes easily dives you. Range form alot in this matchup

Riven

Major

Conquer or phase rush Be carefull with her Q extension. She has 6 Q's with enough CDR. Kite her and respect her damage. Take short trades. Snowball heavy matchup

Pantheon

Major

Conquer (underrated one). His Q stab is really long but you outscale him. Wait his E out so you dont waste spells on it.

Rengar

Extreme

Dodge if you see this matchup Conquer or phase rush if you wanna suffer. Short trades won't work since he has alot of sustian from fleet/grasp. Burst trades won't really work because he heals everything back from double W. Knocking him away doesn't really works because he has a bush next to him. You can breath more when laning phase is over.

Aatrox

Even

Phase rush. Be carefull to not overextend the fight because of his healing. Test how he Q's and try to dodge his big area Q. Movement is really important in this matchup. Teamfight wise you both are great

Rumble

Even

Conquer Farm up and you outscale him after 1 item. His early is hard to deal with.

Gangplank

Even

Conquer Haven't played this matchup alot of there are no GP players in EUW. Try to destroy his barrels and dont't give him free passive auto's.

Yone

Even

Conquer Dodge his Q's especially his third Q. Walk away if needed. You have really high burst. This matchup is kinda hard for yone.

Vayne

Even

Conquer Same as quinn but this champ is more usefull. Try to poke her with range Q's
