So I yesterday I spent some of my IP on Jax, Grandmaster at Arms! It was an impulse buy after having seen his Warden skin and I knew I instantly wanted to give the champ and that beautiful skin a go. While I did indeed have fun ( more fun than I've had on a champ in a long time, I just returned to the game recently and am level 13 ( I began from scratch so I could re-learn the game ) I fell flat on my face all three times I played him. In spite of these losses I want to get better with him given he is a champion I can play and enjoy even while losing. The reason I'm here is simple: I need tips & tricks for ( Patch 5.20 ) Jax, Grandmaster at Arms!


I know so little about Jax listing what I don't know would take ages; here is what I know about Jax so far...

  • Jax can Leap Strike not only enemies but his own team, minions and item 2044 item 2043.

  • Counterstrike does not avoid some AoE damage like the Spirit Fire of Nasus. I'm unsure what specific spells it can and can't dodge.

  • Jax can be built with AD or AP depending on preference.

  • He can make good use of item 3025 and item 3078.

  • That there is a lot more for me to learn about Jax!


Here is what I want to know about Jax...

You now know what I know; what I want are any tips & tricks you can offer that will help fill my knowledge gap. I understand a lot of the things I want to know will simply come from playtime and practice but with how horrid I currently am with him it is clear I need to gain some basic knowledge before I continue playing any normals. What are his best builds ( AD? AP? Hybrid? ) and lane match-ups, which camp do I start, etc. Ideally I'd like to be able to eventually go jungling with him and not just be stuck in the top-lane. If you have read this entire post thus far you not only have my thanks for at least reading my request but my thanks in advance assuming you're about to share some of your insights with me.

Counterstrike only avoids auto attacks, AA modifiers, and things that are treated like AAs (Parrley,Mystic shot etc.) doesn't avoid any other spells

Yasuo's Q counts as a basic attack so Jax is a great counter pick for him in top lane.
