Jax · from r/LegendsOfRuneterra · 2026-10-14

Attack with equipped allies, compound their equipment stats and use a level-up Rally to attack again.

Build

Needs 3★Champion level 30Easy to play

Overview

Jax attacks with equipped allies, grows their equipment and uses a level-up Rally for a second push. The core build is The Beast Within / Laurent Bladerack / Crownguard Inheritance. Team Overwhelm and Challenger are the constants; the other slots flex between stats and Rally.

The build

The Beast Within

Team Overwhelm makes equipped attackers connect through blockers. Units with a subtype also gain +1|+1.

Laurent Bladerack

All allies gain Challenger. Arrange favorable blocks for Quick Attack units and move a dangerous blocker away from your largest Overwhelm attacker.

Crownguard Inheritance

The level-up gives another attack token. Count the cumulative Power of equipped attackers toward the level-up; build a board ready to use the Rally before triggering it.

How to play

Play units on curve, especially weapon-bearing allies with Quick Attack. At three stars an allied attack grants the unit +1|+1 and an equipped unit also grants its equipment +2|+0. Use Challenger to choose survivable trades and Overwhelm to convert excess attack into Nexus damage.

Track the level-up counter and time the Rally for another useful attack. Equipment growth stays on the equipment, so re-equipping a surviving weapon can preserve its value after its original carrier dies.

Drafting and alternatives

Troll King's Crown gives team Overwhelm as a rare, and The Bounty Hunter's Renown adds stats if you save gold. Condenser creates one-cost supported weaponmasters. A different spell-and-equipment plan runs Chosen by the Stars / Perfect Hex Core / Living Weapon.

Older entry-damage and revival loops exist too. They predate relic changes, so don't rely on them for this attack build.

Star-power checkpoint

Last Light of Icathia II

Allies have "Attack: Grant me +1|+1. If I am equipped, also grant my equipment +2|+0."
