Jarvan IV vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Jarvan IV's strong early gank pressure to force Evelynn off camps before she reaches level 6 and gains stealth power.
Prioritize controlling river Scuttles and early objectives to deny Evelynn safe farming and delay her scaling.

Jungle Plan

Invade Evelynn's jungle early if your lanes have priority and Evelynn shows on the opposite side of the map.
Use early ganks to burn enemy flashes and snowball lane leads before Evelynn hits level 6.
Prioritize setting up dragon and Rift Herald control after successful early ganks to leverage your objective control advantage.

Danger windows

Avoid invading or fighting Evelynn early if your engage combo (E)+(Q) is on cooldown, as your dueling strength drops significantly.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or objectives without lane priority, especially after Evelynn hits 6 and can flank with stealth.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near Evelynn's jungle entrances are high risk; ensure vision and lane support before committing.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that leads into early gank paths targeting lanes with crowd control or immobile carries.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority and can collapse to secure kills or force Evelynn back.
Avoid extended fights if (E)+(Q) combo is down to reduce risk of Evelynn punishing your engage cooldowns.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use (E)+(Q) combo to secure early ganks and force Evelynn to play defensively.
Level 6: Use (R) to trap Evelynn or her laners during ganks or objective fights to lock down kills.
Evelynn hits a major spike at 6 with stealth and pick potential; respect her roam angles and avoid isolated river fights post-6.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into lane leads and objective control, focusing on dragons and Rift Herald.
Use (R) to trap Evelynn during key objective fights to deny her smite and secure kills.
Track Evelynn's position continuously to counter-gank and punish her post-6 pick attempts, maintaining map control and tempo.
