Jayce Build
the Defender of Tomorrow
Jayce Talis is a brilliant inventor who, along with his friend Viktor, made the first great discoveries in the field of hextech. Celebrated across Piltover, he tries to live up to his reputation as "the Man of Progress," but often struggles with the expectations placed upon him. Because of this, Jayce has begun to see the ways in which his invention has furthered the division between Piltover and Zaun—and armed with his hextech hammer, he stands ready to defend tomorrow.
The most played Jayce Mid build on patch 26.21 runs Stormraider's Surge with Manaflow Band, Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm, plus Biscuit Delivery and Magical Footwear from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Ignite. Start with Doran's Blade and Health Potion, then build Youmuu's Ghostblade, Crimson Lucidity and Muramana, followed by Voltaic Cyclosword, Serylda's Grudge and Edge of Night. Max Q (To the Skies! / Shock Blast) first, then W (Lightning Field / Hyper Charge), then E (Thundering Blow / Acceleration Gate). It has a 48.9% win rate and a 0.6% pick rate.
