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.

Builds — official CN server data (patch 7.2)

Three reads of the same champion, computed by our engine on official CN server data (current-patch stats, ratios and prices): a reliable base to adapt to your game. This champion is played in 2 positions: each tab has its own build, runes and boots — a support build does not carry over to mid lane. Why this data? →
