Playing Jarvan IV

  • Split your basic attacks on different champions at the beginning of fights to maximize damage.
  • Use Demacian Standard as a scouting tool when worried about incoming enemies.

Playing against Jarvan IV

  • Cataclysm's terrain is a frightening force to fight against, but movement abilities can go through it.
