MythicsDivine: The best general mythic for Jax, with damage, healing and all around amazing stats. You will be building this 99% of games in the current meta
Triforce: This is only good for low elo snowballing if youre already 30x better than the enemy laner, usually you want to build Bork > Triforce > Hullbreaker/BC > MR/ARMOR tank item > Steraks
25
Second itemBork: The high damage, in addition to the slow makes this item a complete beast in the sidelane, or for blowing up squishies in the backlane. Easily Jax's best secondary in most comps. Don't fall into the trap of bork first though, since you need survivability before you can full utilize the item.
Wits end: Build this if they have multiple AP threats. The damage scales very well into the game late, but at the sametime, stops you from getting bursted by champs like kennen/gragas
26
Third itemShojin: Really great for sticking on to people in the sidelane, or getting extra spell rotations in teamfights. The crazy amount of AH, AD and HP just makes this item incredible for Jax
Frozen Heart: Build when they are heavy AD damage
Black Clever: Only build this when you are facing scaling armor like Poppy/K'sante/Malphite
HullBreaker: Since the nerfs the item became really situational. Consider building this when you have completely doomed teamfights, AND you have a good sidelane matchup. Otherwise just opt into something more team focused.
27
4/5 item > adapt to compDamage/HP
Steraks: is an amazing late-game item since it gives AD based on your level, and a massive shield.
Titanic Hydra: Gives a crazy amount of stats but has a really shite build path, so I wouldn't recommend buying this unless you have 3K on a single back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armor:
Frozen Heart: Into heavy auto champs like Irelia/Quinn/Rengar
Hourglass: In addition to the armor and AP, you can use stasis to avoid important CC or spells. The stasis also gives you the freedom to become the initial engage, which Jax can't ordinarily achieve without being crazy ahead. This is probably my favorite item right now, and I would highly recommend trying it out! Randuin's Omen: When they have 2+ crit champs
Gargoyle Stoneplate: Good dual resistances plus bonus 25% increase in bonus resists(5% per enemy champ) on top of a shield thats scales with bonus HP
Deaths Dance: This item kind of sucks right now, but you can build when they have heavy burst AD damage Guardian Angel: Decent 6th item if they are heavy ad -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magic Resistance

Maw: Only decent if you need instant MR by sitting on the hexdrinker
Force of Nature: Build this when they only have flat pen
Abyssal Mask: Decent MR item if your team is AP heavy and you need MR.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Situational

Anathema's chains: Good if there is only one different damage type threat on the enemy team or only one member of the enemy team is fed. 
QSS: Useful into champions like Mordekaiser, Malzahar, and Skarner if you are the only threat on your team and you need to have full presence in teamfights and can't afford to be suppressed/stunned for a long time.
28
BootsIonian: Super cheap for granting +12 SSH, and 20 AH. I would recommend building these 90% of games
Mercs: Great into hard matchups like kennen/gragas, or if they have hard CC like liss
Steelcaps: Basically never buy these, unless you are boot rushing into Quinn/Urgot/Renekton

GENERAL ITEM ADVICEAlways build optimally, so you are the absolute strongest you possibly can be. For instance, if you are leaving base right before a big fight, prioritize something like a stopwatch rather than more AD/HP since SW can potentially win the whole fight. Evaluate the biggest damage threats in the game and adapt accordingly, while still matching the strength of the enemy toplaner.

Start: Doran's blade

be able to after some practice then the lane becomes a lot easier as you can start to win trades
- At 6 if you can dodge atleast 2 of his Q's you can all in him at about 70% HP
- Trading when you don't have E
- Getting his by his Q's for free

Darius
- Walk inside him when he uses his Q or jump onto him
- Take short trades, then Q away
- Block his W with E
- if he wastes E / misses outer Q you can all in and kill
- Ignite him below 50% HP to reduce his Q healing
- Good Darius players will use his E CC to land his outer Q on you winning him the trade
- Taking long trades is bad because he wins and runs you down with Ghost
- Pulled into tower
- Having your Leap cancelled by his E
- Darius Q gives increased 13% − 39% healing based on missing heal
- Be careful of his cheese in the toplane bushes after leashing
- You outscale him so it's not a problem if you dont try to fight him

- Wiggle in lane to bait his Q's, otherwise just stay behind minions.
- Tank his empowered AAs / letting him push minions into you with E
- Getting poked by Q's
- Fighting without E
- Letting him free farm / scale
- Pretty free matchup if you don't get hit by his cleavers. Just make sure to farm as much as possible and try to roam if he is hugging tower.
- similar to nasus, he outscales you at one point and then you cant fight him anymore, look to perma roam and help your team so they can take him down with you later on.
- If he lands more then 2 Q's he will win most early game fights, so the key to this matchup is dodging his Q obviously

- If he takes W, you will need to E early to block it. If he reacts with bodyslam, you can follow with Q after the stun duration
- If he takes Q second, you will need to start wiggling/fake CSing to dodge. If he walks up, hold E and try to auto him, and then Q/E if he bodyslams you

- You win every trade if you manage to dodge well.
- Jax doesn't have a good kit to dodge spells, so take advantage of the fact that Morde Q is thin at base. Because of that, you can walk on top of him, to make it a lot easier to dodge
- When you Leap on to him, most Mordekaisers will cast a short pull back. Focus on dodging this ability the second you land

- Trying to use AAs when withered. Q away unless you think you can kill him

- This matchup is about abusing him before he outscales you. The moment you cannot fight him anymore you should go and group and try to force fights.
- Post-6 if you are in a long lane, and you E his small form Q. He can just ghost run you down, so from this point onwards you will need to be more cautious while trading
- Some nasus's will use comet E max. if you see this, just start dorans shield and try not to tank any unnecessary E's. This version of nasus is even weaker in a 1v1 dual, so make sure to abuse him any chance you get

Riven
- Cheese Tribush/top bush, because you will win any level 1 fight, if you block her passive autos
- Space in a way that forces her to use 1/2 Q's or her E to trade, this way she loses damage from her combo, and she won't have an ecape from your E
- You are much stronger level 1, you should be able to gain full lane control
- Level 2 depends on what she levels - check info
- Crash third wave and reset
- If shes looking to trade, position a bit farther back so you can extend the trade after she uses CDs
- All in if she wastes her W, she is very easy to kill without it
- Avoid fighting her when she uses ult if you can unless you can kill her
- Don't be scared level 1
- Trading when the wave is pushing to you - Check info
- Jumping on her when she has full CDs, since she can just stun you mid air and E away
- Letting her poke with W for free
- She can cancel your autos with her 3rd Q / W
- First few levels its jax favoured but from level 3-9/11~ she has a window to kill you and snowball, this is usually before you complete divine/bork, but once you have divine completed then it becomes much easier to fight her
- Her damage comes from her passive and Q auto resets. If you take a short trade, and then decide to follow with Q when she still has passive stacks, you will most likely lose that fight. Especially if she saves Q3 to displace your jump.
- If she levels W second, she can ( Q1 > W > AA > walk away ). How to counter: If she postures for a trade,
take a step back, this forces her to commit Q2, which will let you easily win the trade.
- With E second, you can actually start the trade with her, just make sure to hold Q till the last second since she will try to use E to space the stun.
