Jax

When you get berserker greaves, try to hard trade on the duration of your e. When jax is 60-70% health you can look for an all-in.

45247%-211+609Play safe until you reach berserker's greaves. You don't have the damage to kill him without it so avoid trading and farm up. Post six, you want to use your q movement speed to avoid his q1 and take trades with your e duration. Use your w on his q2 or q3 and get out. Use your passive to heal back up and do it until he is 60-70% health. From there you can all-in if you flash a q2 or q3.
