Total Armor lands at 210. Amaranth's Twinguard adds 30% AR and 30% MR at max stacks, and the build still carries +70 Attack Damage. Sundered Sky turns your first attack against an enemy champion into a Critical Strike (6s cooldown per target) and heals you for 125% of base AD plus 6% of missing HP.

Base Stats
League of Legends: Wild Rift (China) official champion library (patch 7.2, as of 2026-08-25)
The site's latest patch is 7.2d, but these figures come from 7.2. The 8 champions adjusted since then — Yone, Jinx, Leona, Rumble, Nasus, Ryze, Jayce, Nidalee — no longer match the live game.
A three-step guide set by the official champion library. For difficulty, a higher number means harder to play.
Critical damage is 175% for every champion. These figures exclude items and runes.
Jarvan IV Strengths
- ✓Aggressive engage and gank potential with the flag-and-drag combo
- ✓High mobility that can cross terrain
- ✓Lockdown power that isolates enemy carries with his Ult
Jarvan IV Weaknesses
- ×Missing the main combo leaves you stranded in the enemy team
- ×The Ult's terrain can sometimes get in your allies' way
- ×Damage impact falls off as the game goes long
Early Game
Gank proactively with the Skill 3 into Skill 1 combo. It is already strong at level 2, so look to force enemy Flashes early.
Mid Game
In fights around objectives, use your Ult to trap the enemy carry and take them out of the fight. Once you're in, rely on the Skill 2 shield and your passive's bonus damage to keep brawling.
Late Game
Your role is to lock down enemy carries who lack Flash or a blink with your Ult. Just don't go in alone at a distance your team can't follow.
Teamfights
The ideal engage is diving into the middle of the enemy team with Skill 3 into Skill 1 to knock up several targets. Act as the main initiator, dropping your Ult to split their formation.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Missing the Skill 3 into Skill 1 combo and getting isolated
Missing the Skill 3 into Skill 1 combo leaves you stranded in the enemy team, where you get focused and die quickly. Don't rush it when ganking or initiating. Wait until the enemy's blink is down, then land it for sure.
Jarvan IV Combos
EQ Combo
Cast Skill 1 into the flag from Skill 3 for a knock-up, then slow with a passive auto and Skill 2.
All-In Engage
Trap them with Ult right after the knock-up from Skill 3 into Skill 1, then drop Skill 2 for a shield and a slow.
Jarvan IV Patch History
No changes to Jarvan IV between patch 6.3 and 7.2d.
