Jayce
GameplayJayce is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- Transformations do not count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
- The resistance reduction does not apply to structures.
- Both Transform on-hit effects have no set duration and will only be consumed when Jayce either lands a basic attack or switches stances.
- The enhanced attack will not be consumed if it is parried ( dodge, block, blind, and Riposte).
- The empowered attack will not trigger against structures nor wards.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Upon touching Acceleration Gate, the enhanced missile gains its remaining range equal to [ 1600 units - travelled distance of the standard missile ].
- This means that the range of the enhanced Shock Blast is always the same, regardless of how early or late it interacted with Acceleration Gate.
- Supercharging the Shock Blast as soon as possible, however, will improve its average speed significantly.
- For this, Jayce must stand inside or very close to the Acceleration Gate, or place it very close to himself right after Shock Blast's cast time.
- Shock Blast's effect radius is centered around the location of the missile as it collides.
- Shock Blast will always damage the enemy it collided with, even if it is so large that it is outside the effect radius.
- The non-enhanced Shock Blast detonation has a slightly smaller sight radius than the radius in which it deals damage.(bug)
- The last basic attack is checked on-hit rather than on-attack.
- If Runaan's Hurricane or Guinsoo's Rageblade hit the target before the basic attack does, the basic attack damage will not be modified.
- If
- Transformations do not count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
- The enhanced attack will not be consumed if it is parried ( dodge, block, blind, and Riposte).
- The Mercury Hammer's bonus damage can affect structures.
- Both Transform on-hit effects have no set duration and will only be consumed when Jayce either lands a basic attack or switches stances.
- The empowered attack will not trigger against wards.
