Evelynn vs Jax

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn must protect her first two clears and avoid early fights before level 6 due to weak dueling and low invade resistance.
Use stealth and medium mobility post-6 to create picks and punish Jax's side-lane focus by crossing through fog and flanking isolated targets.

Jungle Plan

Full clear and avoid predictable low-health river routes until level 6 unlocks stealth and pick pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have lane priority to support river fights.
After level 6, use camouflage to cross-map and punish Jax's side-lane dueling by targeting pushed or isolated lanes.

Danger windows

Evelynn is vulnerable to early invades and counter-jungling before level 6 due to weak dueling and low invade resistance.
Isolated river fights before Evelynn gains camouflage are risky; avoid contesting Scuttle without lane priority.
Avoid forced smite fights early where Jax's stun and leap can punish low-health clears or overextensions.

Early game

Full clear safely without overextending into river paths to avoid early Jax invades.
Avoid contesting first Scuttle when nearby lanes lack priority to prevent risky fights.
Prioritize clean clears to reach level 6 quickly and unlock camouflage for safer river control and gank threat.

Power spikes

Evelynn's major spike is level 6 when camouflage and (W) charm enable high gank threat and pick potential.
Respect Jax's level 6 (R) spike that increases his durability and duel power; avoid extended fights when he has his defensive cooldowns.
Jax's two-item spike makes him a strong splitpush threat; Evelynn should force team fights or pick opportunities before he reaches this point.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure and reach level 6 to unlock stealth and high gank threat.
Use camouflage to create picks on overextended or isolated Jax side-lane targets and convert these into objectives.
Deny Jax free farm and scaling by counter-jungling when safe and forcing him into team fights where Evelynn's AP burst and flanks excel.
