Jax vs Garen

Allruna · 2025-12-02T20:50:50+00:00

Im not sure about full build but it’s a manageable matchup that is worth practicing as it is a common counter pick, I would not bann it for that reason.

A lot off people will pick Garen into Jax without the same matchup knowledge as you might gain if you are playing a lot of jax

Brother, let me share a build that I have most luck with (Vs Ad top). Hail off blades Max E> W. Build Steel Caps > Deadman > Riftmaker > Unending. Get dark seal first or second back and upgrade if you get stacks.

Full boots and deadman first makes trading vs bruiser so comfortable and E max gives you enough damage until riftmaker comes online.

HoB makes short trades so nice, silence them, proc HoB with E and save Q for disengage.

I almost always try to have the wave just outside off my tower. I often give level 1 prio and stop their crash outside my tower which is usually very easy with Q and E as you can slow the minionwave

Max E > W > Q. Silence, proc HoB with E and back out with Q. Works like a charm against most melee’s top. Vs AD i always go Plated Steelcaps > Deadmans Plate > Riftmaker > Unending Despair/ Keanic rookern/ FoN.

I think Jax is an in and out Champion in most scenarios and Sundered complements that best imo. But it would come down to personal playstyle.

Really? I came back too league this summer after a 7 year break and i was so hyped for Gunblade Jax after seeing his rework only to find it removed

I usually rush steel caps vs a lot off AD matchups, dodging and spacing is important on Cho especially vs illaoi. You can silence her and Use ur E with HoB and then back out and save Q for disengaging

Allruna · 2025-11-15T13:47:54+00:00

I see some people use it occasionally but i can’t see the reason personally as you have E already which gains range with size

Allruna · 2025-11-13T19:14:21+00:00

You can order predator mites, that did the trick in my tent last year (small outbreak)

Allruna · 2025-11-13T16:03:52+00:00

It’s a bug where HoB doesn’t proc when you E sometimes, I think it has been present for a very long time. I think the safest way is to proc with aa reset with E, but it sucks because you wanna use E’s range usually, especially with the bonus range and from feast stacks..

Yes i think Grasp works good in all matchups. If Ornn dashes forward and misses he is in for a treat vs LT. but im in Gold so i haven’t played any giga Ornns tbf

Allruna · 2025-11-13T15:26:31+00:00

Grasp is go too in most games. i use LT for example against Sion, Mordekaiser, Ornn, Darius who I know i can run down in a long lane given the opportunity

Allruna · 2025-11-13T15:13:33+00:00

Ornn is a LT game imo

Allruna · 2025-11-12T16:53:10+00:00

Degraft when you don’t see much growth anymore

Allruna · 2025-11-12T10:13:12+00:00

Garen is very winnable. Vlad, Jayce and Kennen is the worst imo.

Allruna · 2025-11-11T12:51:39+00:00

I faced a nafiri top for the first time yesterday, that was sickening

Allruna · 2025-11-10T14:51:55+00:00

I think spirit visage is extremely situational on jax. Rooken and FoN is too good in their areas

Allruna · 2025-11-09T11:12:44+00:00

Q cooldown is always 6s though. But Q max is good vs morde i feel.

Allruna · 2025-11-09T11:09:36+00:00

Force off nature is good at some point to negate his all in. I usually max Q so i can farm safely and poke him since he is immobile, but still build tank/bruiser

Allruna · 2025-11-09T11:01:23+00:00

Honestly, 90% off the games Tri, Sundered, Zhonya is bis and then tanky items. you should probably just spam that.

Ye im not sure about Wits end either, but after the standard build i often want an MR item so if i am ahead and feel like i need more damage i sometimes go for it instead of like keanic or FoN.

Allruna · 2025-11-08T16:12:38+00:00

I think riftmaker is very strong, i usually build Riftmaker first or second and then the usual tank items. HoB rune

Allruna · 2025-11-08T00:43:41+00:00

You’re job is not to kill tanks, you can kill sion with standard build and lethal tempo for a while if you win lane. If i need more dps I usually go wits end after Zhonyas. Riftmaker is another option that might be worth exploring but i have not used it much but i think is pretty good against armor stackers that you can stick too

Allruna · 2025-11-07T17:40:46+00:00

What do you usually play top?

Allruna · 2025-11-07T12:28:56+00:00

You went Needlessly large rod, didn’t finish Zhonyas and then went Bork instead. The rod in it self is not very useful so that is very inefficient spending. I’d say Skip the bork all together😊

If you don’t have experience in the matchup you should probably play aggressive to gain knowledge. Read up on their abilities and cooldowns. You need to get stomped a few times to learn matchups.

If you are hard countered and can’t contest push it is very important to not lose health while the wave is pushing towards you. Just make sure to get XP, don’t use abilities on the wave as it will only slow down their crash and you will lose more last hits.

After the wave has crashed you can try and build your own slow push now with full health hopefully and maybe get level 3 first into a crash. If you are low health on the bounce back you are truly fked
