Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (As the father of Hextech and one of the leading scientists in Hextech innovations, Jayce is a brilliant inventor who has pledged his life to the defense of Piltover and its unyielding pursuit of progress. With a knack for understanding machinery, Jayce earned the honor of being the youngest apprenta to ever be offered patronage by Clan Giopara, one of Piltover’s most respected ruling clans. Jayce took the offer spent most of his early years as an apprenta constructing potential hextech devices and designing transformable multi-tools for Piltover’s working class, with virtually everything Jayce touched putting his contemporaries to shame. He views tasks that are nearly impossible for even the most intelligent Piltover scientists and engineers to grasp as basic concepts, and is considered to be Viktor's intellectual equal[6][5]. After Brackern Crystals were discovered deep within the Shuriman desert, Jayce unlocked the secrets of Hextech after his colleagues spent months studying it and believed that it was worthless[5].)
