Who Wants a Piece?

Ramping damage and early lane dueling power.

Precision

Improved attacks and sustained damage

Conqueror

After a few seconds in combat, your first attack against a champion grants bonus AD and convert some of your damage to True Damage.
Triumph

Takedowns restore health and grant bonus gold.
Legend: Alacrity

Takedowns on enemies grant permanent Attack Speed.
Coup De Grace

Deal 7% more damage to low health champions. Gain AD/AP after kills or assists.

Resolve

+65 health and +9% attack speed

Chrysalis

Start the game with extra health. After 4 takedowns, consume that health for adaptive AD or AP.
Bone Plating

After taking damage from an enemy champion, the next 3 spells or attacks you receive deal less damage.

WhyConqueror

Conqueror's ramping damage in extended duels is perfect for Jax's auto-attack based fight pattern, allowing you to pump out massive damage over time.

WhyTriumph

Jax is a solid tower diver and Triumph's big heal can make the difference between life and deal in sticky situations.

WhyLegend: Alacrity

All of Jax's damage comes from his ability to auto attack repeatedly and Alacrity helps your early game trades and skirmishes massively before you're able to build any significant Attack Speed. It also allows you to opt into more defensive items so you can prolong the trade.

WhyCoup De Grace

Your rune choice here largely depends on if your laning against a tank or not. Coup De Grace is good at killing squishy champions.

If you are laning against a tank, take Cut Down.

WhyChrysalis

Chrysalis' early game health allows you to take aggressive trades with Conqueror to get a lead and once you've converted the health to AD, you'll have the damage to split push without contest.

WhyBone Plating

Bone Plating patches up some of Jax's early game weak laning power when trying to enduring any harassment.
