Kindred vs Jax

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's high early game pressure and ranged dueling to contest marks and river fights when your lanes have priority.
Prioritize mark access and objective control through smart pathing and vision before committing to fights.
Focus on scaling via marks and ranged objective DPS to outpace Jax's late-game splitpush threat.

Jungle Plan

Path to secure marks and contest river control only when your lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Invade Jax's jungle when he shows on side lanes or after he uses (E), reducing his defensive tools.
Use counter-ganks around early dragon or Rift Herald when Jax commits to side-lane pressure to maximize objective control.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights when (E) is up as it blocks your autos and sets up his stun.
Be cautious contesting marks or objectives if your lanes lack priority, increasing risk of counter-invades.
Watch for Jax's level 6 and item spikes where extended duels become dangerous without team support.

Early game

Start with a clear path that secures early marks and sets up vision before entering Jax's jungle.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide support.
Avoid full clears that delay mark access or expose you to Jax's counter-invades without lane priority.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to reset fights and kite Jax's engage attempts, punishing him if he misuses (E).
After securing marks, leverage Kindred's scaling ranged damage to outduel Jax in extended objective fights.
Respect Jax's two-item spike by avoiding isolated fights and forcing team responses to his splitpush.

Win conditions

Convert lane priority into securing marks and controlling river vision to deny Jax early scaling.
Use ranged kiting and (R) resets to win skirmishes and force Jax off objectives.
Pressure side lanes with your team to prevent Jax from freely splitpushing and capitalize on his isolated fights.
