Jayce lore:

Jayce Talis is a brilliant inventor who, along with his friend Viktor, made the first great discoveries in the field of hextech. Celebrated across Piltover, he tries to live up to his reputation as "the Man of Progress," but often struggles with the expectations placed upon him. Because of this, Jayce has begun to see the ways in which his invention has furthered the division between Piltover and Zaun—and armed with his hextech hammer, he stands ready to defend tomorrow.

Jayce tips:

  • Be sure to switch stances often. It will enhance your attacks and grant you quick bursts of speed.
  • If you find yourself taking lots of damage, try using Jayce's Hammer Stance, as it grants you additional defenses.
  • For increased range and damage, try casting Shock Blast through the Acceleration Gate.

Playing Against Jayce

  • Jayce can attack in melee or at range. Pay attention to his stance and weapon color to know how he is going to attack.
  • If you see Jayce drop his Acceleration Gate, be careful, he is probably about to cast Shock Blast.
  • Jayce is strong in the early game. If he gains the advantage, play defensively.
