Skill Leveling Order
Max order Q → E → WMax Q (Dragon Strike) first, then E (Demacian Standard), W (Golden Aegis) last. Level R (Cataclysm) whenever available.
Item Build
Riot Season 3 recommended
Playstyle
Throw E, then Q to pull to the flag for the EQ combo — instant engage with a knockup. R (Cataclysm) cages the key carry so your team can focus it. Strong early ganks and objective pressure, and items flex between tank and bruiser.

Jarvan IV's initial basic attack on a target deals bonus physical damage. This effect cannot occur again on the same target for a short duration.
Jarvan IV extends his lance, dealing physical damage and lowering the Armor of all enemies in its path. Additionally, this will pull Jarvan to his Demacian Standard, knocking up enemies in his path.
Jarvan IV calls upon the ancient kings of Demacia to shield him from harm and slow surrounding enemies.
Jarvan IV carries the pride of Demacia, passively granting him bonus Attack Speed and Armor. Activating Demacian Standard allows Jarvan IV to place a Demacian flag that deals magic damage on impact and grants Attack Speed to nearby allied champions.
Jarvan IV heroically leaps into battle at a target with such force that he terraforms the surrounding area to create an arena around them.
