If you ever need a tough Fighter who can play two roles, Jax is the Champion that you’re looking for. With a Skill that allows him to dodge the enemy’s basic attack, leap, and stun his target, Jax is a huge threat for any Marksman. However, since he’s not easy to grasp for beginner players, Dunia Games would like to give you the best Jax build guide in Wild Rift to help you learn this Champion. Take a look.

1. Item Build

[Blade of Ruined King]

For his first item, you can pick the Blade of the Ruined King. This item will grant Jax a 30% bonus attack speed and 30 Attack Damage. Blade of the Ruined King is also useful for him since it has a Passive effect, which reduces 25% of the target’s movement speed who has been hit by his 3 basic attacks.

[Mercury’s Treads]

For his boots, you can purchase Mercury's Treads for Jax. With the fact that Jax tends to be really squishy once he’s stunned, the reduction of CC duration by 30% from wearing Mercury’s Treads will help him greatly to escape from his enemies. This item also helps him to become more aggressive against Champions who rely heavily on CCs.

[Trinity Force]

Since Jax is an aggressive Champion who requires high Cooldown Reduction and Movement Speed, you may want to get Trinity Force as early as possible. As for its effect, Trinity Force will grant him a bonus of 200% Physical Damage (Basic Attack) after using a Skill. Trinity Force also complements his Empower (2) really well.

[Sterak's Gage]

Since you can’t find Tiamat in Wild Rift, you can jump straight to Sterak's Gage instead. This item helps Jax to be tankier and more difficult to kill. As for its Passive, it gives him a shield that absorbs 75% of his bonus HP when his HP goes down below 35% for 3s.

And, this item can only be used by melee Champions. So, don’t expect to equip your Marksman with Sterak's Gage.

[Death’s Dance]

Since the Marksman meta in Wild Rift is all about Attack Speed+lifesteal, you can get Death’s Dance to go up against them. With the bleed effect of the 30% damage taken for over 3 seconds, the enemy Marksman will be overwhelmed by you.

Death's Dance also offers 300% HP, 35 Attack Damage, and 10% Cooldown Reduction -- making him even more deadly although it doesn’t only give you Attack Damage.

[Guardian Angel]

To make yourself tankier, you can pick Guardian Angel. This item will provide you with 40 armor and 45 Attack Damage and the Resurrect Passive effect.

You can get resurrected with 50% HP and 30% of max mana. However, this item has a 3-minute cooldown. So it’d be better to get it in the later phase of the game.

[Upgrade Mercury Treads: Quicksilver Enchant]

For his boots upgrade, you may want to pick Quicksilver Enchant. This item has an Active effect that removes all crowd control effects instantly. Perfect for Jax who’s susceptible to the enemy Support’s stun and root.

2. Rune

[Conqueror]

Jax needs high Damage to finish off his targets quickly. Therefore, you can pick Conqueror as his Rune. Its Passive grants him 2-6 bonus damage (based on level) stacking up to 5 times -- for a maximum of 10 - 30 bonus Attack Damage (based on level).

[Triumph]

For his Domination rune, you can pick Triumph for its 10% additional HP after getting a Champion takedown. It also grants him 3% increased damage to enemies with below 35% HP. 

[Backbone]

To survive longer in the early game, you may want to get Backbone for Jax. This Rune grants him 10 bonus armor or magic resist (based on whichever stats you have less of).

[Hunter - Genius]

With Hunter - Genius as his Inspiration Rune, Jax will receive a 2.5% bonus cooldown reduction. Also, unique takedowns will grant him a 1.5% bonus cooldown reduction. This Rune synergizes greatly with Jax’s skill set, especially with his Empower (2).

3. Spells

[Ignite or Smite]

1. Ignite (Lane)

Ignite greatly benefits Jax in duels. You can use Ignite when the enemy HP is critically low, as it will burn your target with 60-410 true damage (based on level) for 5s -- finishing off your target when they try to escape the team fight.

2. Smite (Jungle)

Use Smite if you are playing Jax as a Jungler. Smite is generally used to depletes a jungle monster’s HP instantly -- making it easier for you to farm in the jungle. There are two types of Smite:

1. Challenging Smite (reducing the damage taken from the target);
2. Chilling Smite (slowing the target).

[Flash]

Flash is a Spell that works well for any Champion. Almost every Champion uses this Spell to chase down enemies or escaping from them. However, this cooldown for Spell is quite long, 150s.

4. Combo

For his combo, Jax actually has a pretty straightforward one, yet it’s a bit tricky because you need to be precise with his Leap Strike (1) (to lock on your target). Here’s his combo:

Leap Strike (1) -> Counter Strike (3) -> Empower (2)

5. Gameplay

1. If your opponent is trying to escape, stun them with his Counter Strike (3), then catch them up with his Leap Strike (1);
2. If you’re in a critical situation, use Leap Strike (1) to get out. You can use the brushes, minions, or allies as your target;
3. Don’t be too aggressive early on, you can try to catch up in the late game as Jax is a Champion who scales exceptionally well.
