Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Jayce's superior range and poke damage with Q in ranged form, making it difficult to engage without taking significant damage.
- At level 6, you gain a significant advantage as your R provides gap-closing and burst potential that Jayce struggles to handle in melee range.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using E to gap-close when Jayce is in melee form or has used his ranged Q, then following up with Q combos while weaving auto-attacks.
- Always look to disengage with your mobility after landing your combo, as extended trades favor Jayce's sustained damage output.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower early to force Jayce to overextend for farm, making him vulnerable to ganks and all-ins.
- Once you hit level 6, you can look to slow push and crash waves to create roaming opportunities or force favorable trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Avoid chasing Jayce when he switches to ranged form and has his E available, as he can kite you indefinitely and chunk your health.
- Don't waste your gap-closing abilities on minions or use them predictably, as Jayce can easily punish poor positioning with his ranged poke.
