Skill Order (Lv 1 - 15)

Ult

Max Skill 1 first, as it is your main damage source and applies Armor reduction.

Jarvan IV Strengths

✓Aggressive engage and gank potential with the flag-and-drag combo
✓High mobility that can cross terrain
✓Lockdown power that isolates enemy carries with his Ult

Jarvan IV Weaknesses

×Missing the main combo leaves you stranded in the enemy team
×The Ult's terrain can sometimes get in your allies' way
×Damage impact falls off as the game goes long

Jarvan IV Early Game

Gank proactively with the Skill 3 into Skill 1 combo. It is already strong at level 2, so look to force enemy Flashes early.

Jarvan IV Mid Game

In fights around objectives, use your Ult to trap the enemy carry and take them out of the fight. Once you're in, rely on the Skill 2 shield and your passive's bonus damage to keep brawling.

Jarvan IV Late Game

Your role is to lock down enemy carries who lack Flash or a blink with your Ult. Just don't go in alone at a distance your team can't follow.

Jarvan IV Teamfights

The ideal engage is diving into the middle of the enemy team with Skill 3 into Skill 1 to knock up several targets. Act as the main initiator, dropping your Ult to split their formation.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Missing the Skill 3 into Skill 1 combo and getting isolated

Missing the Skill 3 into Skill 1 combo leaves you stranded in the enemy team, where you get focused and die quickly. Don't rush it when ganking or initiating. Wait until the enemy's blink is down, then land it for sure.

Jarvan IV Combos

EQ Combo

Cast Skill 1 into the flag from Skill 3 for a knock-up, then slow with a passive auto and Skill 2.

All-In Engage

Trap them with Ult right after the knock-up from Skill 3 into Skill 1, then drop Skill 2 for a shield and a slow.
