Jarvan IV
Champions that beat Jarvan IV
- Amumujungle
Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) AOE stun chains Jarvan before he can recast Cataclysm (R) to drop the walls. Bandage Toss (Q) snare pulls him out of the cage angle, and Despair (W) DOT chips through Demacian Standard (E) attack speed window.
- Fiddlesticksjungle
Crowstorm (R) drain engages from outside Jarvan's Demacian Standard (E) plus Dragon Strike (Q) range and chain-CCs him before he reaches the back line; Cataclysm (R) walls do not save him from Terrify (Q) fear stunning mid-leap. Bountiful Harvest (W) sustains the trade.
- Gravesjungle
Demacian Standard (E) plus Dragon Strike (Q) flag-and-drag commits on one target; once spent on a tank Graves bursts him at point-blank with New Destiny (P) pellets. Cataclysm (R) walls can be exited via Quickdraw (E) dash before the knockup chains.
- Nidaleejungle
Javelin Toss (Q) hits Jarvan from outside Demacian Standard (E) plus Dragon Strike (Q) range, and the superior pre-3 clear in Aspect Of The Cougar (R) form denies J4's gank tempo. Pounce (W) cougar leap dodges the E-Q knockup before it lands.
- Nunu & Willumpjungle
Consume (Q) sustains Nunu through Jarvan's E-Q-AA burst window, and Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) snowball cancels the E-Q knockup mid-air on impact. Absolute Zero (R) channels through Cataclysm (R) walls, deleting Jarvan's team.
- Olafjungle
Ragnarok (R) CC immunity ignores the lockdown of Cataclysm (R) — Olaf walks out of the arena hitting Jarvan for full damage with Undertow (Q) axe slow while his only initiation is on cooldown. Reckless Swing (E) true damage shreds resistances.
- Qiyanajungle
Qiyana's Terrashape (W) brush vault sidesteps J4's Cataclysm (R) arena trap and Demacian Standard (E) flag-toss combo; Edge of Ixtal (Q) rock-stun bursts him out of his own R before Dragon Strike (E-Q) pull connects on her.
Champions Jarvan IV beats
- Azirmid
Demacian Standard (E) plus Dragon Strike (Q) gap-close from out of vision plus the Cataclysm (R) wall denies Conquering Sands (Q) soldier spacing; Shifting Sands (E) single dash cannot leave the arena before his team converts.
- Caitlynbot
Cataclysm (R) walls trap her inside an arena her support cannot reach into; without a dash 90 Caliber Net (E) is the only escape and it cannot break the cage. Demacian Standard (E) plus Dragon Strike (Q) knockup interrupts Ace in the Hole (R) channel from out of vision.
- Dianajungle
Dragon Strike (Q) into Demacian Standard (E) knockup interrupts the Moonfall (R) channel, wasting her only CC. Cataclysm (R) terrain isolates Diana from team peel, and Golden Aegis (W) shield matches Pale Cascade (W) in long trades.
- Dr Mundojungle
Dragon Strike (Q) plus Demacian Standard (E) knockup chain cancels Infected Bonesaw (Q) windup. Cataclysm (R) arena isolates Mundo from team follow-up, and J4 invades pre-3 when Heart Zapper (W) regen is weakest in his jungle.
- Gwenjungle
Demacian Standard (E) flag plus Dragon Strike (Q) knock-up interrupts Skip 'n Slash (E) mid-dash, and Cataclysm (R) cage prevents Hallowed Mist (W) repositioning out of the lockdown zone. Martial Cadence (P) bonus damage chips through her trade window.
- Kha'Zixjungle
Jarvan trades evenly at level 3 with Demacian Standard (E) attack speed against the Taste Their Fear (Q) isolated burst. Cataclysm (R) walls deny Leap (E) reset escape, and Martial Cadence (P) ramping autos out-scale Void Assault (R) stealth re-engage.
- Lee Sinjungle
Jarvan trades evenly at level 3 with Dragon Strike (Q) armor shred plus Demacian Standard (E) attack speed against Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike (Q) plus Safeguard (W) sustain.
- Lulusupport
Cataclysm (R) walls trap the ADC inside the arena; Whimsy (W) polymorph cannot reach the carry through the cage. Wild Growth (R) knockup is wasted on Jarvan after the Demacian Standard (E) plus Dragon Strike (Q) knockup already landed.
