Jayce can start ganking from level 3 onwards. Look to make plays early to gain extra gold.
When you hit level 6, you need to think twice before fighting your opposing Jungler, as they will have an Ultimate and you will not.
Try to use your Q and E from outside of fog of war first before switching to melee to increase your damage output.
15 - 25 min
Delay team fights while you harass the enemy down with your Q. Get them as low as possible before committing to the fight.
Split push and focus on getting the side objectives as well as Dragons whenever possible. When split pushing, make sure you’re always on the side of the map with the next objective up; don’t split push top when drake is about to spawn.
When split pushing, use your strong duelling potential to fight anyone who tries to stop you from farming or taking towers.

Stick with your team in the late game. Do not split up or walk away from them otherwise, the enemy may try to pick you off or initiate a 4v5 fight when you’re away from your team.
Use your Q to harass the enemy as much as possible before committing to the team fight. Getting them low first will make it easier for you to win the fight.
Peel for your carries and focus the nearest enemy champion if you’re weak. If you’re ahead, focus the backline and try to take them down instead.
Jayce doesn't really spike at level 6 because he already has his Ultimate at level 1. Jayce will need to be safer early on.
He is really strong in the early game and is a strong skirmishing Jungler. Look to make plays early while you can.
When Jayce gets his first Jungle upgrade, his Smite will deal more damage, allowing him to take major objectives more safely.
Jayce won't be spiking too hard at level 11 because it won't be giving him as many stats or utility as most other champions' ultimates. It will definitely allow him to increase his overall burst damage, though.
Jayce will have multiple items during this phase of the game. It will allow him to deal robust amounts of damage while ensuring that his survivability is preserved.
His first ability will be maxed out at level 9. This means that he will be dishing out a heavy amount of burst damage and ultimately killing squishy enemies off by himself.
Jayce won't spike at level 16 either because his Ultimate won't provide him with a lot of raw stats, which other champions' ultimates offer them. He will still have to rely on flanking and using the fog of war to poke enemies down. The greater the number of enemies hit, the better it is for his team and him.
Depending on who the enemy is, you might not deal a lot of damage in late game team fights, especially if the enemy is stacking health and armor.
While you wont be able to take down the enemy tanks, you should continue trying to poke the enemy down with your Q as you could one shot the enemy support or ADC.
