Titanic Hydra Jayce Build

General

1. You play Bruiser stacking HP, auto attacking and rushing one specific item. You adapt to enemy team, building tanky items.
2. You rush Titanic Hydra.
3. Titanic Hydra can be your only damage item. Then go full tank.
4. Your auto attacks are quite powerful, thanks to Titanic Hydra and Grasp of the Undying. It's your main source of damage + your abilities.

General

1. This build is focused on a single item - Titanic Hydra.
2. How is this build different to other bruisers builds? The main difference is item rush order. You rush Titanic Hydra first, then adapt to the situation!
3. If you want to go more damage, Sundered Sky is an excellent damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so with Grasp, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
4. A very effective way of poking enemies is to use Titanic Hydra Active and hit minions in front of them (closer to them, better the effect).
5. Another effective way of poking enemies with Titanic, is to hit caster minions in the back.
6. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
7. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Champion

1. Your usual combo is To the Skies! / Shock Blast (Q), then Thundering Blow / Acceleration Gate (E) (not E then Q!). You first use Q, people do not expect that it will go further, and then you enhance it mid-flight with your E.
2. As Jayce, you have your 'Ultimate' Mercury Cannon / Mercury Hammer (R) since lvl 1. You can lose track of enemy levels and get surprised by their level 6 spike and their ulti. Watch out!

Cannon and Hammer Form interactions

1. Jayce is treated as melee in Hammer Form and as ranged in Cannon Form. That means there are interactions with certain runes and items. Examples below.
2. Grasp of the Undying - If you want to deal more damage, get more Health and heal for more with Grasp of the Undying - when auto from ranged, switch to melee (when animation is mid-flight)!
3. First Strike - If you play Jayce with First Strike rune, if you fire Cannon To the Skies! / Shock Blast (Q) and change to Hammer Form, you actually get the melee gold. This way you can farm and earn additional gold (up to 100-150g per minute) by coordinating E + Q with First Strike.

4. Hubris - if you score a takedown when in Hammer Form, you get more Attack Damage (melee effect), than you would get in Cannon Form.

Riot

1. Be sure to switch stances often. It will enhance your attacks and grant you quick bursts of speed.
2. If you find yourself taking lots of damage, try using Jayce's Hammer Stance, as it grants you additional defenses.
3. For increased range and damage, try casting Shock Blast through the Acceleration Gate.
