• Martial Cadence does not apply to structures.
• Martial Cadence's damage is based on the current health of the target before any damage of the attack has been dealt.
• Martial Cadence's damage is dealt after the main attack damage.
  • If the target dies to the main attack damage, the additional damage will not be dealt.

RANGE:	65 - 785 / 0 - 850
COLLISION RADIUS:	180

• The armor reduction is applied after the damage. The damage dealt does not benefit from it in this case.
• Dragon Strike's area of effect always extends from Jarvan IV's position after the cast time.
• Dragon Strike will still pull Jarvan IV to Demacian Standard if he is immobilized or grounded but he will remain as such when he reaches his destination (duration permitting).
• Flash will interrupt the dash to a Demacian Standard but Jarvan IV will still knock up and damage enemies he comes in contact with at the new location.
  • Casting Flash right before the dash begins will cause Jarvan IV to be pulled to the flag from the new position.
  • Enemies already hit by Dragon Strike cannot be affected more than once.
• The knockup also slightly moves the target, landing 50-100 units in a random direction.

Magic Damage: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 80% AP)

The flag then remains for 8 seconds, granting sight of its surroundings and providing an aura that grants bonus attack speed equal to Demacian Standard's passive to Jarvan IV and all nearby allied champions.

Demacian Standard will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

• The attack speed granted from a deployed Demacian Standard stacks additively with Demacian Standard's passive permanent bonus attack speed to Jarvan, but the aura from multiple Demacian Standards does not stack.

  • The gameplay radius matters to Dragon Strike.
• Demacian Standard can be targeted by allied abilities ( Teleport, Safeguard). The target type is the same as a minion.

Upon impact, he creates a circle of impassable terrain that initially pulls units inside it, though not rendering them airborne. The terrain lasts for 3.5 seconds and grants sight of the area. Cataclysm can be recast after 1 second.

Recast: Jarvan IV destroys the terrain created by Cataclysm.

• The perimeter is made up of 24 units with 95 pathing radius, 65 gameplay radius and 1350 sight radius each. Only every other unit is rendered visible.
