Jax vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Jax's medium early agency to contest Evelynn's weak pre-6 pressure and punish her low invade resistance.
Prioritize scaling through controlled jungle tempo to reach item spikes where Jax's dueling and splitpush power outmatch Evelynn's assassin threat.

Jungle Plan

Use full clears and controlled pathing to maintain tempo and reach two-item spikes before invading Evelynn's jungle.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald only when lane priority and vision deny Evelynn safe flank routes through fog.
Track Evelynn's pathing to set up counter-ganks post-6, leveraging Jax's dueling strength to punish her pick attempts.

Danger windows

Early jungle clears at low health are vulnerable to Evelynn's invades; avoid predictable low-health paths.
Isolated river fights post-6 are dangerous due to Evelynn's stealth and charm; only contest with lane priority and vision control.
Forced smite fights without team support risk losing objectives to Evelynn's pick potential and burst damage.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 6 safely before contesting Evelynn's camps, as her early dueling is weak but she can punish low-health paths.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Evelynn's limited early pressure.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority since Evelynn's charm and stealth post-6 create high risk in isolated skirmishes.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Jax's ultimate, boosting durability and damage; use this to take extended fights when (E) is ready and Evelynn's cooldowns are down.
Two-item spike significantly increases Jax's splitpush threat; force side-lane pressure to pull Evelynn away from team objectives.
Evelynn's post-6 stealth and charm increase her pick threat; respect this by securing vision and avoiding isolated fights.

Win conditions

Convert full clear tempo and superior dueling into safe counter-jungling to deny Evelynn's scaling.
Use vision control and lane priority to secure dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Evelynn to play reactively.
Exploit Jax's two-item splitpush power to pressure side lanes, forcing Evelynn to respond and creating favorable teamfight scenarios.
