How to play as Tahm Kench

Look for Tongue Lash when Jax steps outside his minion wave, but wait out Counter Strike before trying to build stacks with autos or commit to Devour; Jax's E stun can turn a close trade.

If Jax stays among minions, don't force Q through the wave. Preserve health and wait for him to expose himself or for your jungler to help.

Jax E dodges Tahm's basic attacks, but Tahm Q is an ability that can still poke and add An Acquired Taste stacks when it hits.
