Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 trades with superior base damage, sustain from W, and passive damage, but must be careful post-6 as Jax's R makes him surprisingly tanky in extended fights.
- Your level 1-2 is particularly strong due to Q poke advantage and early passive procs.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q poke followed by E pull when he goes for CS, then auto-W-auto to proc passive and sustain back damage.
- Always try to land E when his E is down, as this guarantees your Q hit and passive activation.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or neutral wave state to keep Q poke pressure while staying safe from ganks.
- Avoid hard shoving as Jax can freeze against you and force you to overextend, where his mobility advantage becomes problematic.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E when his E is active as he'll dodge everything and win the trade, and never fight him post-6 without your W available for the shield and sustain.
- Avoid chasing him with Q on cooldown as his Q-auto-W burst can turn fights around quickly.
