Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Jayce's superior range and poke, but can punish him heavily if he mispositions for hammer form trades.
- Post-6 you become the favored duelist with R execute pressure and better sustained damage through W and passive.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to bait Jayce's hammer combo, then immediately W when he engages to maximize passive procs and out-damage his burst.
- Look for E opportunities when he's farming or after he wastes his knockback, as landing it guarantees significant damage.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and looking for freeze opportunities near your tower where Jayce can't poke freely.
- Once you have Plated Steelcaps and some health, you can start contesting the wave more aggressively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Jayce through minion waves early game as his Q poke will chunk you significantly.
- Never use E predictably when his hammer E is available, as he can easily interrupt your engage and turn the trade in his favor.
