Who Wins

  • Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Jax's Q gap close and E stun negating your range advantage.
  • Post-6 you start winning extended trades once you get ranged form, but Jax can still all-in you if he lands E stun.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is quick E-auto-Q poke when Jax uses abilities on minions, then immediately back off.
  • Never commit to extended trades pre-6 as his sustained damage with W resets will outdamage your early kit.

Wave Control

  • Focus on freezing the wave near your tower pre-6 to deny Jax easy Q engages while farming safely with Q.
  • After 6, you can start slow pushing to build minion advantages for trades, but avoid hard shoving without vision.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never try to match Jax's early aggression or fight in extended trades pre-transformation.
  • The biggest mistake is staying in range after poking - Jax will Q-W-auto and win the trade even through your W movement speed.
