Jax Counters
Learn Jax's counters and discover matchups where they have an advantage! When you're starting a game of League of Legends you should always keep in mind if you'll be at an advantage or disadvantage against your opponent, so you can know whether to bully them or play safe. You can find detailed breakdowns of each matchup on CounterStats, and you can also check out some Jax guides to see how to build and play against other champions you may find yourself up against!
This counter data is for Jax TOP in Plat+ games. The percent shown is the enemy champion's counter rating against Jax. Counter rating is our own statistic that factors in counter kills, overall kills, early lead ratio, comeback ratio, and win percent to give the whole picture of that champion's effectiveness as a counter pick.

This ability triggers spell effects upon dealing damage.
After 2 seconds or recasting, Jax deals 40 / 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 (+70% of ability power) (+3.5% of target's maximum health) magic damage and stuns nearby enemies for 1 second. The damage is increased by 20% per attack dodged, up to a maximum of 80 / 140 / 200 / 260 / 320 (+140% of ability power) (+7% of target's maximum health) magic damage.
Active: Jax swings his lantern around him, dealing 100 / 175 / 250 (+100% of ability power) magic damage to nearby enemies. If he hits a champion he gains 25 / 50 / 75 (+0.4 per bonus attack damage) armor plus 20 / 25 / 30% (+0.1 per bonus attack damage) per champion hit, as well as 60% of that value as magic resist for the next 8 seconds. During this time the passive damage applies every 2nd attack instead of every 3rd.
