Guide to Countering Jax as Vi

Tips for Playing as Vi against Jax

A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.

Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.

Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

Advice to Win Against Jax

Try to engage him in short bursts instead of going toe-to-toe with him. Preventing him from attacking consecutively drastically lowers his damage output.

Jax can dodge all incoming attacks for a very short amount of time and stuns enemies in melee range when it ends. Wait to strike him until after his dodge is finished.
