Guide to Countering Jax as Lee Sin

Tips for Playing as Lee Sin against Jax

Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.

Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).

Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.

Advice to Win Against Jax

Try to engage him in short bursts instead of going toe-to-toe with him. Preventing him from attacking consecutively drastically lowers his damage output.

Jax can dodge all incoming attacks for a very short amount of time and stuns enemies in melee range when it ends. Wait to strike him until after his dodge is finished.
