Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Jarvan can build into 2 builds, classic Jarvan and Lethality
Classic & Support Jarvan : Jarvan need being in frontline so we going to need ton of durability items and sustainability. we gonna take [Sunfire Cape] as our 1st core item and
Dead Man's Plate
as our 2nd core items. we need both as
Jarvan Iv
weaknesses are clunky and less damage. both are covered within. you may finish with the items that you want / situation demands.
Lethality : This is the one shot build that will make you deadly as
Rengar
does but you will be squishy.
Situational items :
| [Randuin Omen] | You can build this against 3 AD champ line up. |
 Guardian Angel
| the defensive item as attacking item. IMO,
Jarvan Iv
doesn't neeed GA as his job is initiate and try to get 3-4 man [jarvan iv:ult] , and sometime the value of the item is 0 if you cannot escape the gank. |
 Abyssal Mask
| If you want boost your
 Orianna
/
 Katarina
damage and some magic resistance, use this. |
 Thornmail
/
 Executioner's Calling
