Jayce Guide
Jayce is a poke and burst jungler who wins by being richer than everyone else on the map. First Strike and three gold runes turn every E and Q you land into damage and gold, so farm for yourself, poke lanes as you walk past them, and take the kills your burst sets up. Voltaic Cyclosword is the spine of the build and Bastionbreaker follows it. You bring your team no utility and no hard engage, so fight after your E and Q have landed, not before, and swap to melee form before the big damage reaches you.
Runes
Quick Tips
All phases
- •Play selfishly, farm, take kills and snowball, your gold is what makes E and Q lethal
Skill Priority
Early Game
Before 1st item
- •Your first clear should have you level 4 by 3:01, and by 2:58 once you are Master, the same mark as every jungler
- •Clear top to bot
- •Full clear and farm for yourself, you bring your team no utility, so your income is your whole value
- •Default to the full clear, a level 3 gank that does not kill leaves you behind the enemy jungler
- •When a lane cannot be ganked, throw a ranged E and Q at the laner as you walk past for free poke and First Strike gold
First Back
Regular full clear & crab
Core Build Examples
Mid Game
1-3 items
- •Voltaic Cyclosword is your first spike, poke first and commit only once the target is low
- •Base the moment your next item is affordable, you are a gold hungry champion and unspent gold does nothing
- •After a kill, go to their tower and use your ranged and melee attacks together to break it fast
- •Before dragon or grubs, check that E, Q and Flash are up, and let the objective go if they are not
Situational
Late Game
4+ items
- •Poke with E and Q before every objective fight, and go in only when someone is already low
- •You do not take objectives well alone, so group with your team for Baron and Elder
- •When behind, farm and poke from range, never jump in with melee Q to force a fight
