Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

Jax's consecutive basic attacks continuously increase his Attack Speed.

1 Leap Strike

Jax leaps toward a unit. If they are an enemy, he strikes them with his weapon.

2 Empower

Jax charges his weapon with energy, causing his next attack to deal additional damage.

3 Counter Strike

Jax's combat prowess allows him to dodge all incoming attacks for a short duration and then quickly counterattack, stunning all surrounding enemies.

ULTIMATE Grandmaster's Might

Every third consecutive attack deals additional Magic Damage. Additionally, Jax can activate this ability to strengthen his resolve, increasing his Armor and Magic Resist for a short duration.
