I see the core items are blade and tri. Which one do you get first blade or tri. I am guessing blade vs tanks? and tri vs squishy?
Also for starting items when should you start either doran shield, cloth armor , flask 3 pots?
starting items all depends on who youre against, dorans blade/shield or flask or boots is all preference. as for the build, most of the time you can rush BORK into TF then tank. just play around and see what fits your personal playstyle, do you need the health/burst to live from TF or you do you want the slow/AS to crush people from BORK.
Starting items vary per matchup. Most of the time I get dorans blade or shield. Flask is more rare, but I do get it vs champs like panth and ryze. For my build, I usually rush bilge, but then get sheen>phage>tri>botrk. I buy bilge for the sticking power, then build tri for the burst and trading.
you don't always need to rush those 2 items... jax can be played different depending on the team comps.
as odd as it sounds ive found vs heavy harass ADs top that iceborn is a better choice than trinity mainly because you lose a bit of burst, but you gain so much more sustain, and have literally infinite chase with the slowing pool.
I prefer to get the life leech / slow part of the blade, then rush trinity or iceborn, then go for a giants belt then finish out the gunblade.
jax without HP is laughable at best. you need that giants belt before you finish your 2nd item regardless of what route you choose
also how do you survive early game champs like renekton darius etc?
