Jarvan IV-Bring the Cataclysm!
Many people build Jarvan as full Tank.Others - as full DPS.But in my opinion both kinds of builds ar not that good,simply because they cant utilize Jarvan's full potential.The best build is a good mixture of Tank+DPS with key Items such as Atma's Impaler and Frozen Mallet.Looking at the Stats of this Build we see that Jarvan has 215 AD (it is that much thanks to Atma's Impaler Passive) ,over 4100 HP,ludicrous Armor and some Healthy Magic Resist.You may think that his AD is not enough,but don't forget his Passive,which can unleash some crazy damage at 1v1 fight.Now for Runes I get Armor Penetration Marks,Armor Seals,Magic Resist Glyphs and Health Quintessences.Yet because of the Items I buy his Armor goes extremely high you may choose to use Mgic Resist Seals instead of Armor ones - again the choice is left to you.My Masteries are again pretty offensive with 21 Points in Offense and only 9 in Defense.For not so reckless players I reccomend maxing Defense Mastery Tree instead of Offense but I don't really like to do that myself as I play pretty aggressive.For Summoner Spells I take Exhaust and Clarity.I think that everyone'd be surprised why I use Clarity instead of Ghost/Flash/Cleanse or even Ignite.But if you have a closer look at Jarvan's Mana you will notice that even at Level 18,it barely reaches 750.So if you want to cast your combo more often you will need a large Mana Regen source - just like Clarity.For me taking that Spell is an extremely important thing-to-do.The Item Build here is a bit more sophisticated than those of Garen and Kayle but in spite of that it is EXTREMELY cheap.I have bought that full build at least 10 times and the games didn't continue more than 1 hour.It is actually separated on 2 parts - early Build and late Build.The early Build is like that:first Item is Doran's Blade.Then you may choose between 2 pairs of boots - Berserker's Greaves or Mercury's Treads.For me it actually depends on whether you max Demacian Standart first or not.If you max it first,then take Mercury's Treads because the Spell's Passive will give you all the Attack Speed you need at the beginning.If you choose to max another Spell first then take Berserker's Greaves so that you can still have an Attack Speed bonus.After the Boots come Phage.It's maybe the most important part of the early Build so make sure to get it early.Then you buy Heart of Gold.It will surely make your life easier although not with its HP bonus.but with its Passive.Generating 5 Gold every 10 seconds will help you buy your items a lot faster.With this Item already bought you will surely have no problems to get a Brutalizer fast.After the Brutalizer comes the second important Item of both early and late Build - Atma's Impaler.Not only it gives lots of Armor and Critical Chance but its Passive is the main AD boost to you for the entire game.Even though it ISN'T calculated here it gives you a boost of over 80 AD at the end of the Build.So your total AD becomes almost 300.Not bad for a Hybrid Champion.After that the early Build finishes.So here come your big items.Quickly,very quickly turn your Phage into Frozen Mallet and the Brutalizer into Yomuu's Ghostblade.Get some more money and make a Randuin's Omen from your Heart of Gold,selling Doran's Blade in the process.After that you will have 1 more Item Slot left.There are again a few choices what to buy.Here I mentioned Sunfire Cape but if you are doing good it would be much smarter to buy Bloodthirster instead.If you want to tank yourself even more Warmog's Armor is the right choice.And if you are getting aimed a lot Banshee's Veil will become priceless for you.Really,there are lots of possibilities and it depends on the game which Item is the best.And finally the skill order.I max Demacian Standart first then immediately going for Dragon Strike and finally Golden Aegis (Of course I get a point in both at Level 2 and Level 4 respectively).Cataclysm is learned whenever possible.That's pretty much all about Jarvan IV as well.
