Riot supplies this champion's identity, text, and abilities. MacroDiff has not published a curated analysis layer for it yet, so roles and signals below are inferred from Riot's archetype data.

KIT READ

Abilities

Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.

Q

Dragon Strike

Jarvan IV extends his lance, dealing physical damage and lowering the Armor of enemies in its path. Additionally, this will pull Jarvan to his Demacian Standard, knocking up enemies in his path.

W

Golden Aegis

Jarvan IV calls upon the ancient kings of Demacia to shield him from harm and slow surrounding enemies.

E

Demacian Standard

Jarvan IV carries the pride of Demacia, passively granting him bonus Attack Speed. Activating Demacian Standard allows Jarvan IV to place a Demacian flag that deals magic damage on impact and grants Attack Speed to nearby allied champions.

R

Cataclysm

Jarvan IV heroically leaps into battle at a target with such force that he terraforms the surrounding area to create an arena around them. Nearby enemies are damaged at the moment of impact.

Matchup

Aatrox into ranged top: three spacing rules

The matchup is lost in the first three waves or not at all. Three rules that keep the lane survivable until your first sustain spike.
