How to beat Jarvan IV

Common role: Jungle

A diver who flags-and-drags into a knock-up and cages your carry.

What makes Jarvan IV dangerous

Jarvan drops a flag (E) and dashes to it (Q) for a knock-up combo, shields himself (W), and his ultimate creates a ring of terrain that traps a target inside with him. He engages instantly onto a carry and locks the area down for his team.

How to play against Jarvan IV

• 1Flash or dash out of his ultimate cage before his team collapses.
• 2Bait his E→Q knock-up; after it he has no more engage for a while.
• 3Spread from his flag so his knock-up catches only him.
• 4His ult walls can body-block his own team — use them against him.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Short engage window; after E→Q he's committed and killable.
• ✓His ult cage can trap his own allies out.
• ✓Limited follow-up damage once the combo is spent.
• ✓Vulnerable if you Flash out of the cage.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Jarvan IV's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Ordu Marşı

  Jarvan'ın bir rakibe yönelik ilk normal saldırısı, rakibin mevcut canına bağlı olarak ilave fiziksel hasar verir. Bu etki, birkaç saniye boyunca aynı hedef üstünde ortaya çıkmaz.

  Strong: his first hit on a target shreds a chunk of their armor. Weak: it's a one-time proc per target — nothing sustained.

• Q
  Ejderha Saldırısı

  Jarvan IV kargısını uzatır ve karşısına çıkan rakiplere hasar vererek zırhlarını azaltır. Ayrıca, bu hareket Jarvan'ı Demacia Sancağı'na çekerken yoluna çıkan bütün rakipleri havaya savurmasını sağlar.

  Strong: dragged along his flag it becomes a knock-up engage. Weak: no flag, no knock-up — bait the E→Q and he's out of engage.

• W
  Altın Kalkan

  Jarvan IV Demacia'nın kadim krallarını çağırarak onu zarardan korumalarını ve çevredeki rakipleri yavaşlatmalarını sağlar.

  Strong: a shield and slow that helps him survive the dive. Weak: modest value — burst through it once his engage is spent.

• E
  Demacia Sancağı

  Jarvan IV, sahip olduğu Demacia gururu sayesinde pasif olarak fazladan Saldırı Hızı kazanır. Demacia Sancağı etkinleştirildiğinde, Jarvan IV bir Demacia bayrağı dikerek, büyü hasarı ve yakındaki dost şampiyonlara Saldırı Hızı verir.

  Strong: the flag that his Q pulls to — the core of his engage. Weak: spacing away from the flag denies the knock-up entirely.

• R
  Afet

  Jarvan IV kahramanca savaşa atılırken hedefine öyle bir güçle saldırır ki, zeminde bir deprem yaratarak hedefle kendini bir arena içine hapseder. Yakındaki rakipler darbe anında hasar alır.

  Strong: walls off terrain around a target, caging them with him. Weak: Flash or a dash escapes it, and the walls can trap his own team out.

Itemization

Flash or dashes to escape his ult cage; spacing from his flag denies the knock-up. Punish him after his E→Q combo is on cooldown.
