Abilities
Relentless Assault
Innate: Jax's basic attacks on-attack against monster generate a stack for 2.5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent attacks and stacking up to 5 times. The stacks expire by one every 0.25 seconds.
Relentless Assault: For each stack, Jax gains 5 to 19 for 15% bonus attack speed, up to a maximum of 5*5 to 19*5 for 15%.
Leap Strike
Empower
Active: Jax empowers his next basic attack or Leap Strike against an enemy within 10 seconds to deal bonus magic damage. This damage is increased to 125% against monsters.
If Empower is used on a basic attack, it will gain 50 bonus range and have an uncancellable windup.
Empower deals Empower basic attack reset Jax's basic attack timer.
Counter Strike
Active: Jax enters Evasion for 2 seconds: a defensive stance where he dodge all incoming non-turret basic attacks and takes 25% reduced damage from champions. Counter Strike can be recast after 1 second, and does so automatically after the duration.
Recast: Jax ends Evasion to stun nearby enemies for 1 second and deal physical damage to them, with the total damage increased by 20 to 100 for 5%.
Grandmaster-At-Arms
Passive: Jax's basic attacks on-hit generate a stack for 2.5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent hits and stacking up to 2 times. The third stack will consume them all to deal bonus magic damage. While Grandmaster-at-Arms is active, the bonus triggers at 2 stacks instead.
Active: Jax swings his lantern, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies. If this hits a champion, he gains bonus armor, increased per subsequent champion hit, and bonus magic resistance equal to 60% of armor gained for 8 seconds.
