How to play

General

  1. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. Are they heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Tips and Tricks

Martial Cadence (Passive)

  1. Switch targets often in fights to fully use your Martial Cadence (Passive) for more damage!

Dragon Strike (Q)

  1. Remember that your Dragon Strike (Q) reduces enemy armor. Shred tanks so your team can melt them faster.
  2. With enough Ability Haste, you can Q to same Demacian Standard (E) twice!

Demacian Standard (E)

  1. You can use Demacian Standard (E) for brush control.
  2. Remember that Demacian Standard (E) gives Attack Speed buff for your allies, it is very important when pushing turrets or in teamfight (when you can't participate)
  3. Jarvan can achieve 100% kill participation simply by placing Demacian Standard (E), thanks to its AoE aura for allies that grants assist even without any damage or CC.

Cataclysm (R)

  1. You can Cataclysm (R) enemies and then run away to your team with Demacian Standard (E) + Dragon Strike (Q). This way you can engage for your team, pin enemies and be safe.

Combos

  1. Combo #1: Q + E + Flash. Just Q + E and during the last frames of animation, you can Flash into enemy knocking them up.
  2. Combo #2: If you have enough Ability Haste, you can put E, wait and Q to it and cast second E hitting your target. This is especially cool with AP builds. So you can cast E while sliding to existing E.

Riot

  1. You can use the Dragon Strike / Demacian Standard combo to get out of your own Cataclysm arenas.
  2. Split your basic attacks on different champions at the beginning of fights to maximize damage.
  3. Use Demacian Standard as a scouting tool when worried about incoming enemies.
