Learn how to Jax counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Trade aggressively when Jax's E (Counter Strike) is on cooldown — this defensive ability has a long cooldown early game (17-9 seconds) and without it, he loses his dodge mechanic and stun potential.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Disengage immediately when Jax activates his E (Counter Strike) — during its 2-second duration, he dodges all your basic attacks and will likely follow with a stun and W-empowered strike.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Look to trade or call for ganks when Jax uses his Q (Leap Strike) aggressively — without this 700-range mobility tool, he has no escape options for 8-6 seconds.
Lane Phase
When Jax activates his ultimate, he gains significant armor and magic resistance for 8 seconds, indicated by a glowing aura that intensifies when he hits multiple champions.
Skirmish Team Fight
Avoid extended trades with Jax — his passive gives him up to 88% bonus attack speed when fully stacked, and his W has a cooldown as low as 3 seconds at max rank, making him significantly stronger the longer a fight lasts.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Force team fights when Jax is split pushing in a side lane — either send someone who can match him or use your 5v4 advantage to secure objectives while he's away from your team.
Late Game Team Fight
If playing a ranged champion, use your poke advantage against Jax in lane — he has no built-in sustain and must rely on potions or lifesteal items to recover health.
Basic Lane Phase
Disengage briefly when Jax has two stacks of his ultimate's passive — his next basic attack will deal significant bonus magic damage that can swing a trade in his favor.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Coordinate crowd control abilities with teammates against Jax in team fights — while his E blocks auto-attacks, he remains vulnerable to ability damage and CC, especially after his E expires.
