Guide Jax League of Legends S6

Relentless Assault

(Innate): Every time Jax performs an autoattack, he gains 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 % attack speed. This buff lasts for 2.5 seconds and stacks up to 6 times.

Tips :

No visual effect on Jax will show you the amount of passive stack except for a sign on the spell bar.

The Assault Machine

The winner of today's slapping contest
It's wise to start the battle against your opponent when you have 4-6 stacks to profit from the attack speed buff.

The passive stacks on towers so Jax can push and take down towers pretty well.

If you know you're safe or not afraid of ganks, it's advisable to land an attack on a creep every 2 seconds to keep your passive up for as long as possible. The extra attack speed lasts 2.5 seconds.

You should only start to fight when all of Jax's passives are fully stacked. In the late game this will mean +84% attack speed which is huge. The ability to get stacks and keep stacks in a team fight is what separates a good Jax from an amazing Jax

As Jax's W resets the attack timer, it's easy to get an extra stack fast by proccing your W.

Jax's Q doesn't give him a passive stack, W after Q doesn't increase the stacks either if you don't land it.

A good way to stop Jax in a teamfight is CC, to stop him from getting/keeping his stacks.

Overall a great passive that greatly helps clearing jungle creeps and taking down Dragon and Baron.

Cost: 65 mana
Range: 700

Tips :

Jax leaps to the target unit, dealing damage if the target is an enemy.

Jump Around !

It's best to always have a ward on Jax in order to get away more easily or to follow up more quickly onto an enemy. It's especially effective when you have it on smartcast.

This spell deals 20% additional damage for each attack dodged to a maximum of 100% increased damage.

Diameter of AoE: 375

Tips :

Jax uses his lampbrass, turning it like a helicopter.

Jax plays with… his lampbrass. Too bad !

"“Chuck Norris is a has been. Please welcome Jax”"
It is one of the strongest spells in the game, when well-used. You’ll have to use it just before the enemy hits you to avoid the following strikes for a 2 seconds period, which is huge. Jax will; moreover, after these 2 seconds, stun all the targets surrounding him for 1 second. This implies the enemy won’t be able to hit Jax for 3 seconds! Normal: Chuck Norris is a has been. Now there’s Jax!.

This spell has no invocation time needed: the escape applies immediately and shall therefore be used just before Jax gets hit to optimize the spell duration.

One of the elements of the spell that most pro-gamers forget is that it can reduce the physical and magical zone damages caused by 25%, which proves even more useful to survival for Jax in teamfight.

It is possible to lower the duration of the escape phase to quickly stun enemies by activating the spell. There is a minimum time of “enviroJax Play” when Jax can’t reactivate his spell. It lasts 1 second. This can be useful to engage with a weak target, releasing the spell followed by the A and reactivating the skill to stun him.

As for the spell cooldown, it is rather long in the first level: 18 seconds. In the 5 level, with a 40% of cooldown reduce, the spell's cooldown lowers to 6 seconds, which is very low when considering the strength of the spell. The spell’s cooldown only starts after the stunning effect. Don’t dream!

This spell is a real weapon all through the fame. In late game, the escape will enable you to avoid the damages caused by the opposite AD Carry so you may want to rush to DESTROY him.

Thanks to this spell that enables to avoid some spells, Jax is completely OP in some match-ups.

That spell causes very good damages and a 100% damages supplementary if Jax avoids 5 attacks while he escapes.

Cost: 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 mana

Cooldown: 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 seconds

Physical Damage: 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage)

Max Physical Damage: 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+1.0 per bonus attack damage)

Grandmaster's Might (R)

(Passive): Jax deals additional magic damage on every third basic attack. The counter will reset if he does not attack for 2.5 seconds.

(Active): Jax gains armour and magic resist.

Cost: 100 mana
Duration: 8 seconds
Cooldown: 80 seconds

Tips :

The ultimate’s passive: the 3rd attack in a row creates a visual effect on the lamp brass and on the target

Resistance and damages

An 8 seconds bonus to resistance? It's long…
On the third attack in a row; Jax quickly attacks and causes bonus magic damages. It is interesting in lane stage to choose the aggression against an enemy once you’ve stacked passive and the ultimate is about to be activated.

You need 2.5 seconds to stack passive. Synchronized with Jax’s passive, the passive sign is very useful.

The active part of the ultimate is great and enables Jax to tank a lot in teamfight. 8 seconds is an eternity. Jax can’t be ignored in mid/late game as he causes huge damages: enemies will have to focus on you and that’s how you’ll protect your team. Make sure you use your ultimate before a control! A guardian angel works very well!

As the ultimate’s cooldown is rather low, Jax will be able to abuse it.

In teamfight, the main thing will be to activate the ultimate at the right time so you’ll have to check whether the enemy team focuses immediately on you or not. As this spell has no invocation time needed, you don’t need to use it 3 seconds before a fight: this would be a real waste.

Ultimate’s active: a futuristic yellow sphere appears around Jax
