1 Leap Strike
Jax leaps toward a unit. If they are an enemy, he strikes them with his weapon.
2 Empower
Jax charges his weapon with energy, causing his next attack to deal additional damage.
3 Counter Strike
Jax's combat prowess allows him to dodge all incoming attacks for a short duration and then quickly counterattack, stunning all surrounding enemies.
ULTIMATE Grandmaster's Might
Every third consecutive attack deals additional Magic Damage. Additionally, Jax can activate this ability to strengthen his resolve, increasing his Armor and Magic Resist for a short duration.
