Jarvan IV Matchups Overview
Jarvan IV General information
Jarvan IV tips and tricks
Before ever using your
E>
Q combo, make sure you check the minimap. If you go in and the enemy Jungler shows up, you’re basically dead.
In team fights, look to flank targets that are overextended and out of position. You have great gap closures, but you’ll find it hard to close the gap if the enemy knows where you are. Attack from the side when possible.
Adapt your build path depending on what your team needs. Jarvan’s can go tank or damage.
