Who Wins
- You lose all-ins pre-6 due to Jayce's superior burst damage and mobility with his hammer form E-Q combo.
- Post-6 you still struggle in extended trades until level 11 when your range and DPS become meaningful enough to contest him.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to Q for the slow and missing health damage, then auto once and immediately back off before he can engage with hammer form.
- Never try to extended trade pre-11 as his melee form W attack speed buff and ranged poke will outdamage your early game kit.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower early to farm safely, using Q only for last-hitting when necessary to avoid pushing.
- After level 6, you can start slow-pushing when he backs to build up minion advantages for safer farming windows.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match his early aggression or fight in extended trades before level 11.
- Getting baited into all-ins when he switches to hammer form will result in your death, as your early game damage and survivability are significantly weaker.
