Evelynn vs Jarvan IV

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn should focus on surviving early jungle pressure and avoid early fights before level 6.
Prioritize reaching level 6 to leverage stealth and pick potential around objectives and pushed lanes.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and avoid predictable low-health river paths to reduce invade risk.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and reduce counter-invade risk.
Use post-6 camouflage to cross-map gank pushed or isolated lanes and contest objectives with pick threat.

Danger windows

High danger during Jarvan's early level 2-3 gank attempts; avoid overextending or low-health clears near river.
Isolated river fights are risky when Jarvan's (E)+(Q) combo is up and nearby lanes lack priority.
Forced smite fights near objectives are dangerous if Jarvan's (R) is ready to trap and deny smite access.

Early game

Complete a full clear safely to reach level 6 without being disrupted by Jarvan's early pressure.
Avoid early river scuttle fights unless nearby lanes have priority and can assist.
Track Jarvan's pathing closely to anticipate his early ganks and counter-gank accordingly.

Power spikes

Respect Jarvan's level 2-3 power spike when (E)+(Q) engage is available; avoid extended fights during this window.
Evelynn's major spike is level 6; use stealth and (W) charm to create picks and pressure objectives.
Jarvan's level 6 (R) lockdown can trap Evelynn; maintain vision and avoid isolated fights near terrain without escape options.

Win conditions

Survive early invade pressure and reach level 6 to unlock stealth and pick potential.
Use camouflage to flank and pick off targets before or during objective fights to secure dragons and Herald.
Cross-map efficiently to punish Jarvan's early ganks and scaling reliance by denying farm and controlling vision around objectives.
