Jax Matchups Overview

Jax General information

Jax tips and tricks

Be prepared to sacrifice some CS for XP in the early game. It’s important that you do not fall behind by trying to pick up farm and die.

Try and stack your Passive up on minions before looking to trade to get extra damage out on from your auto-attacks.

Wait for the enemy Mid laner to overextend before using your and aggressively to take them down. If they’re overextended, you have more roam to chase them down.
