Fighter/Tanky Jayce

Ladrac··1 votes·440 views

Hello...I enjoy to play Jayce and I need a fighter or tanky build for him for when I am behind and I cant afford too many damage items or if my teammates are too squishy. So, can you give me some build examples that work well on Jayce? Keep in mind that I need to cover at least 30% cdr and mana :D

Frozen heart would be a decent item for the job then.

Jayce does really like his item 3071 though, doens't he?

Well yeah and nothing stops him from getting both and maxing out his CDR.

That's fair. Didn't really consider it because I have 10% cdr in almost all of my runepages :P

I don't use CDR runes because they mess with my CDR builds in game (except when I played pantheon). There is enough CDR in game that I don't need to worry.

Instead I go for simple set ups of offensive reds (AP, magic pen, or AD reds), defensive yellows and blues (AD and MR) and specialized quints (Hybrid pen, AD, or AP).

It depends on the champions and what I want to build.

I never bother with CDR runes on Jayce since I will generally be fighting early (so I need MR in mid-lane) and my core items provide 40% CDR anyways (Ionian Boots, Muramana, Youmuu's Ghostblade, Black Cleaver).

However, certain champions are generally safe enough that they don't need MR and don't want to build certain items for it.

I generally take 20% scaling CDR on long-range champions such as Lux and Varus since I generally won't be fighting early-game (instead trying to farm for the mid-game). As such, I can generally cap my CDR with one or two core items:

  • Lux: Morellonomicon or (Ionian Boots and Zhonya's Hourglass)
  • Varus: Ionian Boots and Youmuu's Ghostblade

That said, I have 20 rune pages and pretty much every useful rune so I have plenty of flexibility in my set-ups.

I have only recently gotten into Jayce, but you could probably get away with something like: item 3158 item 3042 item 3071 item 3068 item 3156 item 3026

Looks good, but for my preference I will edit and it will look like this: item 3009 item 3025 item 3071 item 3068 item 3156 item 3026 I dont really like to build item 3043...anyway, thank you, your example build inspired me :3
