Summoner Spell
-
FlashTeleports your Champion to target nearby location under your mouse cursor.
-
IgniteTargets a single champion dealing 50 + (lvl x 20) true damage over 5 seconds. Also reduces the target’s healing and regeneration by 50%.
-
TeleportAfter 4 seconds, teleports your champion to target friendly minion or turret. 3 minute cooldown if cancelled.
-

You can replace Flash for Ghost here situationally. Flash is an all around safer choice but Ghost on Jax can be ridiculous strong in many scenarios.

Posted 3/6/2013 3:23:19 PMI don't get it...why doesn't he recommend HYBRID runes? They are practically designed for Jaximus.

Posted 2/9/2013 4:22:22 PMWhat's with the dorans shield? Guide says first back to rush a vamp scepter for sustain, but guide shows a doran's shield.

Posted 12/9/2012 5:05:23 PMDamn, season 3 was far too good on Jax : /. So many cool items I want to build on him, so little gold haha.
Why Riot, WHY do you torture me with such variety?!
Seriously though, there's still TF, there's the Hextech Gunblade, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Zephyr, Blade of the Ruined King, even the Statikk Shiv, not to mention the old needed Guardian Angel and maybe even Warmog's Armor since is just so god damn cheap anyway...
Aaaaaargh!

Posted 12/8/2012 2:01:34 AMAlso if you're up against a lot of burst you might consider swapping out guinsoo's for Mercurial Scimitar with this item becoming more kitey with jax is possible due to the active on it (lets you debuff cc) and he's still one hell of a duelist due to blade of the ruined king.
