Jax
GameplayJax is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Leap Strike cannot be cast on structures.
- Spell shield will block the damage, including when empowered.
- The initial cast and the manual recast count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
- Counter Strike will also dodge abilities that can trigger on-hit effects ( Parrrley, Mystic Shot) which will count towards Counter Strike's increased damage. There are exceptions however.
- The bonus magic damage can be dodged and blocked but it cannot miss.
- The empowered attack at 2 stacks does not activate against structures and wards, thus not consuming the stacks.
- Grandmaster's Might's bonus resistances are calculated both on-cast and will update dynamically every 0.25 seconds over the duration.
- Spell shield will only block the bonus damage from the third attack if it is empowered.
Champion skins

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 was given the following joke passive, referencing Jax's usage of a lamp post (which is functionally similar to a lantern) as a weapon:
- New Unique Passive: Taunts nearby Jaxes (both enemy and allied).
- New Unique Passive: Taunts nearby
- In the now-removed official League of Legends forums, the icon of Relentless Assault was used to represent the "Off Topic Discussion" section.
- The icon art of Grandmaster's Might features a stunned soldier who was directly mirrored from the original icon for Time Bomb.
