Jax Matchups

Hard Counters

Malphite★★★

Malphite stacks armor and his poke wears you down while you cannot trade through his shield.

Garen★★★

Garen silences you to prevent Counter Strike activation and his spin ignores your dodge.

Akali★★★

Akali shroud makes her impossible to auto attack and she kites around your Counter Strike.

Favorable Matchups

Nasus

Nasus cannot stack against your constant aggression and you out-duel him at every stage.

Kayle

Kayle is weak early and you can repeatedly dive and kill her before she reaches her power spikes.

Tryndamere

Your Counter Strike blocks Tryndamere auto attacks and you can stun him when he spins in.

General Laning Tips

• 1.Use Counter Strike to block auto attacks in trades then stun the enemy as they try to disengage.
• 2.Split push in side lanes where your dueling power with ultimate passive is strongest.
• 3.Activate Counter Strike before leaping onto enemies to guarantee the stun on arrival.
