Core Tips for Success:

1. Leverage Range Advantage

• Utilize your superior range to poke enemies consistently
• Create pressure through sustained damage before committing to all-ins

2. Resource Management

• Conserve mana in early game
• Always maintain enough mana for Thundering Blow (E) to ensure escape options

3. Combat Strategy

• Focus on poking with Shock Blast (Q) before engaging
• Play as a poke champion rather than a direct duelist
• Look for short trades rather than extended fights

This gameplay pattern emphasizes Jayce's strengths as a versatile lane bully while managing his key weaknesses against tanks and extended fights. Success comes from proper stance management and understanding when to engage or maintain distance.
