Tips for Playing as Jax against Brand

Jax benefits greatly from items that have both Ability Power and Attack Damage such as Guinsoo's Rageblade and Hextech Gunblade.

Jax can Leap Strike to friendly units, including wards. You can use them to plan your escape.

Advice to Win Against Brand

Brand's passive allows him to excel against teams that cluster together. Be sure to split up against him.
