Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 as Jax's E negates your auto-attack based Q damage and he has stronger base stats for short trades.
- At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with R's burst damage and Determination stacking potential, especially if you can land the full combo.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is W pull into E dash for gap close, then Q double-strike while building Determination stacks through extended combat.
- Avoid short trades where Jax can E-auto-W and disengage, instead force longer fights where your stacking passive and Q healing give you the advantage.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with E to build small Determination advantages, then look for slow pushes into crashes when you have R available for all-ins.
- Your W waveclear is limited, so focus on using E efficiently to match Jax's pushing power while preserving mana for trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never engage when Jax has E available as it completely negates your Q damage and gives him a guaranteed stun setup.
- Don't waste your E dash aggressively without W setup, as you'll lack the tools to stick to him if he Q-jumps away after his combo.
