Jax Build Guide (Jungle)
Jungle Jax farms toward the same unstoppable late game with less lane risk: Counter Strike blanks camp damage, and a post-six gank with stun, leap and Empower burst is close to a guaranteed flash.
Summoner Spells
Runes
9x Mark of Attack Speed (+1.7% Attack Speed)- 9x Seal of Armor (+1 Armor)
- 9x Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist (+0.2 Magic Resist per level (+3.6 at champion level 18))
3x Quintessence of Movement Speed (+1.5% Movement Speed)
Attack speed marks fix the early clear, armor seals and scaling magic resist keep it healthy, move speed quints reach ganks before wards matter.
