Introduction
Jax is a scaling melee champion known for his exceptional dueling capability and late-game power. He excels at taking down enemy champions and structures, making him a strong pick for split-pushing.
Abilities
- Passive - Relentless Assault
- Jax’s basic attacks grant him increased attack speed. This effect stacks up to a cap and is reset upon using abilities.
- Q - Leap Strike
- Jax leaps to a target enemy, dealing damage and applying his on-hit effects. This ability can be used to engage or escape.
- W - Empower
- Jax empowers his next basic attack to deal bonus magic damage. This ability resets the auto-attack timer, allowing for quick follow-up damage.
- E - Counter Strike
- Jax becomes temporarily invulnerable to all incoming attacks and then stuns enemies in a radius around him upon expiration, dealing damage based on the number of hits he dodged.
- R - Grandmaster's Might
- Jax's basic attacks deal additional magic damage and grant him increased attack damage for each consecutive hit. This effect stacks and makes him a powerful late-game champion.

Gameplay Tips
- Laning Phase: Focus on farming and trading using your Q and W. Jax is strong in extended trades thanks to his passive.
- Mid Game: Look to group with your team or split-push. Utilize your E to dodge key abilities in fights.
- Team Fights: Use your E strategically to negate damage and set up your W for burst damage. Target squishy champions and carry your team in the late game.
- Positioning: Ensure you’re using your E at the right moment to maximize its effectiveness.
Matchups
- Strong Against: Champions that rely heavily on basic attacks (like Master Yi or Riven).
- Weak Against: Heavy crowd control or champions that can burst him down (like Malphite or Zed).
Conclusion
Jax is a powerhouse in the late game and can single-handedly turn team fights with his high damage output and survivability. Focus on farming and scaling, and look for opportunities to take down key targets. With practice, you can become a formidable force on the Rift!4o mini
