I tried a couple of different builds on Jax in ranked, right when I hit 30 last night. I'd say it went pretty well considering im 4 wins 0 losses with Jax atm.

So I just got completely shat on by teemos twice. I managed to barely, barely trade kills with them a couple of times by taking advantage of them standing in the middle of a bunch of friendly minons and generally being overconfident, but mostly I just completely zoned off creeps and killed repeatedly when ganks came in because of the constant harassment.

Any tips for taking on teemo as jax? because it felt like the only thing I could do was pray for jungle ganks (which never came, or came around 6, stepped on two shrooms and fed him another kill).

No dorans, no bonus HP... what are your masteries? Aren't you squishy as fuck like this?


more than trinity jax, but jax is pretty tanky as is. I do go for 9/21 masteries tho. the CC reduction is pretty valuable. I'm thinking I might try what these guys suggested and go iceborne into gunblade, add some tankyness and THEN get the hydra, rather than rushing it out. It becomes more important later when you have to fast push a lot (and you can actually stand in the middle of a teamfight for a few seconds and whack people).

I'm really liking phage => rageblade => SV/IBG. The phage and rageblade give you an interesting, more tanky alternative to trinity force. You still get your slow (needed), AS, AD, and AP, and you're trading the sheen proc and crit for the crazy steroid on rageblade. From there, get SV if you need MR or get IBG if you need armor. Both grant CDR, which is awesome. And both are awesome and synergize well with Jax (meaning you'll want them both anyway as the game progresses).

What are people getting for starting laning items on Jax? I've been doing cloth + 5hp (plus biscuit) more often than not. If I was smart, I'd probably get flask more often. I still get a dorans blade before launching into phage.

As for jungling, I've been doing machete + 5hp => spirit stone before getting boots and phage. Jax just feels so strong in jungle now. Once you get spirit stone, you don't need blue buff anymore to jungle and can become a gank machine with nearly infinite sustain from the hp and mana regen on the spirit stone and liberal use of counterstrike.

hm i didnt try the new rage blade. Right now I'd say dorans/boots into phage, vampiric scepter, tier 2 boots and then instead of tf: hydra/nashor/frozen mallet. and ga/sv for def.

dorans boots into tf/ga might still be the build though.

Just tried cleaver, didnt like it. More dmg than tf sure, but the missing slow and ms boost make 1v1 much harder.

Also, am I the only one who thinks that the new warmogs sucks?

I really like getting Warmogs on Jax in a lot of situations. The high hp base synergizes really well with my rageblade (I'm doing phage/rageblade core instead of triforce). The regen passive also benefits from SV which is one of my favorite items for Jax now. Besides, with all of the true damage floating around out there now, having high hp is really nice. Cho, Darius, and Olaf can all suck my lamp post.

Accept being zoned and sad at your tower for the first few levels. Maybe start flask + pots because Teemo has very little burst until he has a ton of AP and a lot of ranks into Q (relying on like Q + Liandry's or something).

If you can't kill teemo in ~2 secs, he will kite you and kill you, so items like Sheen and Cutlass are really good. So is Mercs to reduce blind. If he's going AD then probably Dblades/Sheen but AD is actually really strong because Blade of the Ruined king is much stronger on teemo imo than Liandry's.

If he's going AP, then you can actually just get 2 procs of ult up, jump on him with E and W and kill him.

hm but warmogs only gives you +300 hp now compared to frozen mallet. So if you build the phage anyway, why not get this instead of warmogs? And its true that the regen with SV is nice, but I think leech is more important.

i seriously dont see why anyone would want to get warmogs nowadays unless he really wants to be super tanky.

roa for ap, frozen mallet for ad

I really like super tanky Jax. He just creates so many problems for the opposing team when he gets tanky.

Rageblade is really nice on Jax. Not sure if its too glass cannon to buy after full trinity though, and a phage->rageblade build seems really awkward too.

However, the passive on it is phenomenal. It gives you basically the same stats of current Gunblade, at a fraction of the cost. When you get low enough for the passive to proc, you should be at max passive stacks and max rageblade stacks so you attack hilariously fast and can basically stay at ~25% HP for far too long.

It does make me really miss old Gunblade though. 20% lifesteal 25% spellvamp mangg

Also with a Rageblade build, you definitely want to prioritze resists, as the item is basically free HP. Rageblade + Frozen Fist seems like a good theorycraft core to replace the AS/Sheen/Slow you'd get from old Trinity core, and the itemization might not be too awkward (although combine costs kind of suck and Pickaxe/Blasting Wand make poor laning items). Maw for MR for more low HP synergy?

I believe Iceborn Gauntlet is a good jungler item. despite this, once you have finished building it, you are far too squishy. so i prefer to rush phage on him. after that, you would be right to build sheen and the glacial shroud. to build some health, i build a frozen mallet, which synergises well because you have your aoe slow and your on hit slow.

Also, i found that ravenous hydra is the most lulzy item for him at the moment!. jungle clear times are like 5 seconds or somthn.

Singed beats Jax so hard that you should almost always dodge queue if it happens.

I think someone said that the best way to deal with it was to rush bilgewater cutlass though.

Yeah, don't lane against Singed. You're just going to have a bad time. If someone picks Singed after you have picked Jax, then go jungle. If you have to fight him, you need sustain ASAP. Flask and vamp scepter are both good to get. Don't bother trading with Singed. Call your jungler and pray he comes.

Why hasn't jungle Jax caught on? He is so beastly in the S3 jungle. He has a very safe initial clear. He can start red or blue. He has a very respectable gank out of the jungle -- particularly at level 2 with red. He only needs a soulstone to be a fully sustainable jungler, which he can freely sell by the midgame to get a sightstone. Lastly, he scales really well into the late game and can snowball hard. Sure, he is not your prototypical jungle tank that is loaded with CC, but he does a lot of other things very well. What am I missing?

He needs lots of gold. Top gives lots of gold. Jungle does not give lots of gold. He also needs a certain 'tankiness' in team fights since he builds lots of damage, which comes with items but also levels, top is usually a few levels ahead of the jungler.

That's how I've always felt about it, anyways.

All the Jax jungles (5 so far) I've played with tried to just farm the jungle for 20 mins. One lane inevitably just got dumped on by the enemy jungler, and then Jax was still behind the power curve while team was down like every dragon.

Also played vs a Jax once, and he got 2 kills early, but then critical ward mass kicked in and he still fell behind our jungler.

His kit just doesn't give as much without gold: his ult is outrageous for free resists conditional on having offensive items, compared to say Amumu who has 2 CCs, build in % HP damage, MR shred, and flat damage reduction.

Finally, I don't think rageblade can be considered core on Jax. There's only been a few lanes where I got away with it (vs Fiora lol). In most of the other common top matchups now, the buildup is too awkward and you just get wrecked in lane. Then its hard to pick up as a 2nd item since you really want GA/Randuins.

I'll keep trying Phage/Rageblade but I'm pretty sure unless you get crazy fed the resists just come way too late and you can't do your job as a Jax should in the midgame fights for towers and dragon control

what do you guys think of BoTRK/Phage as core? Seems kinda strong but im kinda eh on it atm. Think Triforce into BoTRK or something might be stronger but i dunno.

BoTRK/phage/rageblade/maw or something is what I would aim for but i rarely play jax so idk

Edit: cutlass rush on jungle jax is pretty op though, your ganks become true terror with the slow

Problem with jungle Jax is that you're behind on levels and farm, and as a result you can't build traditional items (and if you could, then your team is so far ahead it doesn't matter anyway). You end up building weird stuff like aegis/bulwark just because it's the cheapest and most efficient defensive item,

Jungling with Jax is certainly doable, but he's not the best choice by any means.
