Brackern[]

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun[]

The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.

Eka'Sul[]

Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis[]

Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.

Kmiros[]

Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for Rammus Rammus.

Outerbeasts[]

Main article: Voidborn

Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.

  • Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger. Rek'Sai Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.

Ralsiji[]

Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.

Shuriman Camel[]

A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.

Sandswimmers[]

Shurima Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.


Skallashi[]

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Jax is a champion in League of Legends.[1]

Abilities[]

Edit

Relentless Assault

Innate: Jax's basic attacks generate a stack of Relentless Assault on-attack for 2.5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent attacks and stacking up to 8 times. Stacks expire by one every 0.25 seconds when the duration ends.

Relentless Assault: For each stack, Jax gains Champions hit with Martial Cadence (P) 3.5% − 11% (based on level) bonus attack speed, up to a maximum of Damage mitigated by Master-At-Arms (R)28% − 88% (based on level).

Grandmaster at Angling: While out-of-combat with champions and idle in the river for 10 seconds, Jax will occasionally catch a fish, granting him 1 Gold 1 and Damage to champions with Center of the Universe (P)1 ability power for 5 seconds. He catches a fish at an average rate of one every 15 seconds. He also has a 5% chance to catch a rare fish that grants 10 Gold 10 and Damage to champions with Center of the Universe (P)10 ability power for 5 seconds.

Info
  • Jax will start fishing while idle in the river if he is in-combat with only monsters (e.g. any of the three Epic monsters).(bug)
  • Jax catching a fish is a random event and will play a special animation.
  • The total number of fish caught during the game is displayed when fishing as Grandmaster at Angling Grandmaster at Angling passive.

Edit

If the target is an enemy and they are in range upon arrival, Jax deals them Champions killed from outside standard Attack rangephysical damage.

Physical Damage:
65 / 105 / 145 / 185 / 225 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 100% bonus AD)

Edit

Empower

Active: Jax empowers his next basic attack or Leap Strike Leap Strike against an enemy within 10 seconds to deal Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)bonus magic damage, reduced to 50% against structures.

Map-Specific Differences
Arena differences edit
  • Base damage changed to 30 / 55 / 80 / 105 / 130.

Edit

Counter Strike

Active: Jax enters Evasion for 2 seconds: a defensive stance that causes him to dodge all incoming non- turret basic attacks and take 25% reduced damage from all area of effect abilities from champions.

Counter Strike can be recast after 1 second, and does so automatically after the duration.

Recast: Jax deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to nearby enemies, with the total damage increased by 20% for each attack dodged, up to a 100% increase, and stuns them for 1 second.

Minimum Magic Damage:

80 / 140 / 200 / 260 / 320 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 140% AP) Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)(+ 7% of target's maximum health)

Info
  • The initial cast and the manual recast count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's Force Pulse's passive.
  • Counter Strike will also dodge abilities that can trigger on-hit effects (Parrrley Parrrley, Mystic Shot Mystic Shot) which will count towards Counter Strike's increased damage. There are exceptions however.

Map-Specific Differences
Arena differences edit
  • Cooldown changed to 20 / 18.5 / 17 / 15.5 / 14 seconds.

Edit

Grandmaster-At-Arms

Passive: Jax's basic attacks generate a stack of Grandmaster-At-Arms on-hit for 2.5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent hits and stacking up to 2 times. At 2 stacks, his next basic attack is empowered to consume them all to deal Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)bonus magic damage, reduced to 50% against structures. While Grandmaster-At-Arms is active, the empowered attack triggers at 1 stack instead.

Bonus Magic Damage:
70 / 120 / 170 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 60% AP)

Active: Jax swings his lantern around, dealing Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to nearby enemies. If this hits a champion, he gains Healing from Spirit of Dread (W) bonus armor, increased for each champion hit beyond the first, and Champions that have been made a Vessel by Test of Spirit (E) bonus magic resistance equal to 60% of that amount as well as 10% increased size for 8 seconds.

Magic Damage:
150 / 250 / 350 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 100% AP)
Bonus Armor:
25 / 50 / 75 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 40% bonus AD)

Bonus Magic Resistance per Champion Hit:
12 / 15 / 18 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 6% bonus AD)

Info
  • The attack bonus deals proc damage. The swing deals area damage.
  • The bonus resistances are represented by a glowing aura around Jax that grows with each enemy champion hit beyond the first.
  • Jax can move during Grandmaster-At-Arms' cast time.
  • The Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)bonus magic damage can be dodged dodged and blocked blocked but it cannot miss.
  • Spell shield will only block the bonus damage from the third attack if it is empowered empowered.
  • The empowered attack will trigger but not be consumed nor apply its effects against wards.
    • Stacks will still be generated when attacking them.
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

Original
RP 585
21.02.2009
Unmatched in both his skill with unique armaments and his biting sarcasm, Jax is the last known weapons master of Icathia. After his homeland was laid low by its own hubris in unleashing the Void, Jax and his kind vowed to protect what little remained. As magic now rises in the world, this slumbering threat stirs once more, and Jax roams Valoran, wielding the last light of Icathia and testing all warriors he meets to see if any are strong enough to stand beside him…

Trivia[]

  • Jax's eyes are blue.
  • Jax was likely inspired by Garet Jax, "The Weapons Master" of the Sword of Shannara Trilogy. He was adept with any weapon and was undefeated in combat, though he often wielded a sword and cudgel.
  • In the V1.0.0.115 (April Fools' Day) patch, Wriggle's Lantern Wriggle's Lantern was given the following joke passive, referencing Jax's Jax's usage of a lamp post (which is functionally similar to a lantern) as a weapon:
    • New Unique Passive: Taunts nearby Jaxes Jaxes (both enemy and allied).
  • In the now-removed official League of Legends forums, the original icon of Relentless Assault Relentless Assault was used to represent the "Off Topic Discussion" section.
  • The old icon art of Grandmaster's Might Grandmaster's Might features a stunned soldier who was directly mirrored from the original icon for Time Bomb Time Bomb.
