Respect th' matchup

Adapt th' course

What to do when th' battle changes

Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.

Even course

Trade 'round th' wave and yer strongest cooldowns

1
Course

Keep hull and minions balanced so one poor trade does nay decide th' course.

2
Sea chart play

Move after th' wave be handled and communicate if th' opposing Top laner leaves first aboard.

3
Fights

Pick betwixt front-line duty, side pressure and carry access according to th' champion kit.

Pings, movement and prizes

Jayce Top sea chart course

Manage th' long course afore leaving it. A useful move begins wit' a handled wave, a visible course and a teammate who knows ye be coming.

Ahead

Use th' side-course lead without donating it

Ping
Ping Foe Lost overboard when th' opposing Top leaves, then On Me Way afore a flank or prize move.
Arrr, stay or move
Push th' wave afore moving. Stay if leaving would hand several minions or yer tower back aboard to th' foe.
Prize
Arrive through a known course and mark whether ye be front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry. Do nay enter alone afore th' crew can follow.
Even

Make th' wave create th' first aboard move

Ping
Use Foe Lost overboard early, Peril on th' course they may take, and On Me Way only after yer own wave be handled.
Arrr, stay or move
Move after pushing or on a shared recall. Do nay follow through unwarded river merely because th' foe left first aboard.
Prize
Tell th' crew whether ye can move afore th' prize starts. Approach wit' vision and save th' cooldown needed fer th' first aboard real commitment.
Behind

Protect experience and communicate th' pressure

Ping
Ping Foe Lost overboard immediately and Retreat if teammates be about to meet th' stronger Top laner without ye.
Arrr, stay or move
Do nay clash a stronger foe through darkness. Clear th' deck th' seaworthy wave, then group by th' shortest controlled course.
Prize
State early if ye cannae contest. If th' crew still fights, provide control or protection instead o' attempting an isolated flank.
Prize setup

Arrr, four calls, in order

Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.

  1. 1
    Handle th' wave

    Push, catch or communicate th' wave afore leaving so th' foe does nay gain a free move and free income.

  2. 2
    Signal th' course

    Use On Me Way fer th' course ye be actually taking and Peril where an unseen foe may arrive.

  3. 3
    Arrr, enter together

    Move through controlled vision wit' th' Jungler or another ally instead o' face-checking th' prize alone.

  4. 4
    Pick th' job

    Decide whether ye be engaging, front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry afore th' fight begins.

Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.
