What is JG (Jeweled Gauntlet) in TFT?

In Teamfight Tactics (TFT), JG stands for Jeweled Gauntlet, a powerful item that enhances Ability Power (AP)champions by significantly boosting their Critical Strike Damage on their abilities. Jeweled Gauntlet is particularly effective for spellcasting champions who can benefit from critical damage on their Abilities.

JG Recipe in TFT:

• Needlessly Large Rod + Sparring Gloves

By combining a Needlessly Large Rod and Sparring Gloves, you create Jeweled Gauntlet (JG), a powerful item that grants a Critical Strike bonus for abilities and increases the damage potential of AP champions when they land critical hits with their abilities.

Effect of JG (Jeweled Gauntlet):

• Ability Critical Strike Damage: Jeweled Gauntlet increases the damage output of a champion’s abilities when they score a Critical Strike. This makes it an ideal item for champions who rely on their abilities to deal damage.
• Ability Power Boost: In addition to the Critical Strike bonus, Jeweled Gauntlet also grants a boost in Ability Power, which further increases the strength of the champion’s abilities, making them more potent.

Why is JG (Jeweled Gauntlet) Valuable?

• Critical Strike for Abilities: If you have an Ability Power champion like Syndra, Veigar, or Kennen, Jeweled Gauntlet can significantly increase the damage of their abilities, allowing them to burst down enemies more effectively, especially with Critical Strike damage.
• Synergy with AP Carries: Champions that deal a lot of damage through spells and abilities can take advantage of Jeweled Gauntlet to boost their Critical Strike damage and increase their overall burst damage potential.

Example Use:

For a champion like Syndra, Jeweled Gauntlet boosts the damage of her Ultimate Ability (Scatter the Weak), allowing it to deal more damage when it critically strikes. This makes Jeweled Gauntlet a core item in her build if you’re aiming for a high-damage spellcasting carry.
