Battle Academia Jayce Review

Welcome all readers of my blog! Since I’ve taken up reviewing skins from the Battle Academia series, it’s not worth stopping halfway through. This time we are reviewing Battle Academia Jayce, who is too cool to talk about himself personally, so yours truly will do it for him. This skin was released on May 15, 2019. Hopefully, after this review, you’ll make the final decision for yourself whether or not to add this skin to your collection.

Lore

Battle Academia Jayce is a crowd favorite and a well-known personality at Durandal Academy. In addition to being the best student in his course, as well as class president, Jayce has a ton of other badges of honor. First, he is the founder and leader of the Luminary Club, the most popular and well-known club in the League of Legends world. He also does science and invents incredible technology under his own brand. In fact, this occupation is one of the most important in his life. In his deep childhood, the hero experienced a terrible tragedy, which he tries not to talk about. He wants to create a technology that would stop and save others from similar tragedies… There’s a lot to say about Jayce of Battle Academia, so let’s get started. Jayce is clumsy and cool, but who can blame him?

Concept and Inspiration

In creating Battle Academia Jayce, Riot Games was inspired by the Devil May Cry series and all those endless images of students in the anime where a seemingly ordinary guy can hold a disproportionately huge hammer (Berserk fans here?). In my opinion, it turned out to be a great mix that enhances the look of a champion. I really liked the concept of Jayce as a sophomore Battle Academy stuntman.

Design, Sound Effects and Animations

The color palette consists of black, white and blue. The highlight of his outfit is the scuffed collar, and Jayce seems like a really cool student. Also worth noting is the staff with four glowing blades, which looks pretty technologically advanced. Jayce can jump on his staff like a skateboard and fly. He can also use his staff to shoot blue discharges at a target, which create a sphere around him when they hit. In his Battle Academia flashback, Jayce blasts mannequins, recreating his high school training. And when the Homeguard is activated, he rides his staff!

Unique Features

• New VFX, giving Jayce a bit of a scientist-inventor aura, electrical discharges everywhere!
• The model has new textures, transforming the standard image of a champion into a sophomore at a prestigious combat academy.
• New action animations and Recall abilities. Returning to base, Battle Academy Jayce beats up a training dummy and blows it up before teleporting. Now the hammer is his skateboard!
• All special skills have a new blue, electric color scheme.

Obtainability in 2023

Battle Academia Jayce, like all skins in this series, is available in the League of Legends in-game store for 1350 Riot Points. Team SmurfMania also has accounts with Battle Academia Jayce in their inventory on the shelves, hurry up to add the skin to your collection!

Gamers Feedback

The Battle Academia series has been received positively by LoL community and Battle Academia Jayce has been no exception either. The only thing that confused League of Legends players was the voice of a rather adult voice actor on the Academy second-year student skin. I’ll leave a couple of reviews from real League of Legends players for your perusal below:

“All the new academia skin splash arts though, are they going to make some kind of anime series out of this?”

“Jayce its like he is the most popular boy in the school”

“Omg this red chroma is so beautiful Oo”

“HOLY S**T that devil may cry chroma thooo”

“Dante? Is that you?”

“I see it, I like it, I want it, I got i… no wait i don’t like this champ”

My Feedback

I have this skin and liked it, it looks fresh enough on Rift. The only drawback I found when playing it is that while the visuals are good, they are too predictable for the opponents. All of the character’s abilities in this skin are easy enough to spot, especially the unique ability on the W. There are many other Jayce skins in the game, such as Fosaken, which while have nice animations, the abilities are not as obvious.

Conclusion and Rating

The Battle Academia Jayce skin is a great addition to the champion in League of Legends. The skin has pretty cool VFX and looks that sometimes make you feel like you’re playing Devil May Cry and trying to do a stylish combo. I definitely recommend getting Battle Academia Jayce in your inventory now while it’s still available for purchase. I give this skin a score of 7 out of 10 for a good image for Jayce that makes for a pleasant experience playing on the Rift.
