Caitlyn vs Jhin

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Caitlyn wins short trades by punishing Jhin's fourth shot and last-hit attempts with superior range.
Hold the wave near your side to use traps and support cover for denying Jhin turret plates.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin when he walks up for cannon or melee last hits if enemy support cannot counter.
Layer (W) traps on retreat paths and turret edges to zone Jhin after you crash the wave.
Avoid stepping forward to trade when Jhin's fourth shot is ready or (W) root can follow support CC.

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot when contesting low-health minions; avoid stepping up without support peel.
Beware of (W) root follow-up after allied poke or trap damage that can lock you down.
Avoid trading when your (E) is down, as Jhin's support can force all-ins through your range.

Early game

Use level 1 range advantage to harass Jhin when he steps up for melee or cannon minions.
Hold (E) for enemy engage; avoid using it for poke before Jhin's support engage tools are known.
Thin the wave early to deny Jhin clean (Q) bounces and reduce his root setup potential.

Power spikes

Level 1: Use Caitlyn's longer range to pressure Jhin before he can safely farm.
First marksman item: Crash waves under turret to force Jhin off plates and convert lane priority.
Track Jhin's fourth shot cooldown to punish last-hit attempts and force health leads.

Win conditions

Convert lane pressure into turret plate damage by crashing waves with trap zones.
Punish Jhin's last-hit attempts during his fourth shot cooldown to build CS and health leads.
Use superior range and wave control to secure dragon vision and safer teamfight positioning.

Tip: For Caitlyn vs Jhin, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
