Who Wins
- You win early trades through Q poke and barrel combos, maintaining pressure until level 6.
- Post-6 becomes skill-dependent but favors Jax in extended fights due to his R stats and sustained damage.
How to Trade
- Use Q to poke when Jax goes for CS, then immediately place barrels to zone him from retaliation.
- When he Q's onto you, try to instantly detonate a barrel for the movement speed to kite away.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q and barrels to establish lane priority and poke Jax under tower.
- Maintain barrel control around your position to prevent his all-in attempts and keep the wave in favorable positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't let Jax freeze the wave near his tower where you can't safely poke or barrel.
- Avoid wasting Q on minions when Jax has Q available, as he'll immediately engage when your main trading tool is on cooldown.
