Jayce Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Map-pressure poke-bruiser build: Jayce wins when the enemy reaches the real fight already chunked, already displaced, and already pressured. The build must therefore connect poke threat, lane or river authority, and enough durability for his melee form to remain credible.
