Draven vs Jhin

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Draven wins short trades by punishing Jhin's last-hit attempts with (Q) axe autos during CS windows.
Maintain wave states that keep Jhin forced to last-hit near your axe catch zones under support cover.
Avoid extended trades where Jhin's fourth shot and root setup outburst sustained DPS; prioritize early aggression.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Jhin during his last-hit animations when axes are active and support can't be punished.
Hold (E) to interrupt Jhin's dash or root attempts, cutting off his escape or engage.
Avoid punishing when axes are inactive or enemy support controls catch zones to prevent losing HP for one auto.

Danger windows

Jhin's fourth shot ready combined with support CC or trap damage creates a root follow-up threat; avoid stepping up alone.
Avoid catching axes in predictable spots when enemy support controls brush or engage zones.
Be cautious when axes drop or (E) is on cooldown, as your all-in and interrupt threat diminishes sharply.

Early game

Use level 1 to stand forward with axes active and punish Jhin's melee or cannon minion last hits.
Control the first three waves to keep Jhin on the back foot and deny clean (Q) bounce angles.
Only punish last hits if your support controls brush and can prevent Jhin's root follow-up.

Power spikes

Level 1 (Q) axe autos let you heavily out-trade Jhin before he can safely contest CS; use this to force early health leads.
First completed damage item turns axe trades into kill threats; use item lead to force short trades before Jhin stabilizes.
Jhin's fourth shot and level 6 (R) increase his burst threat; respect these windows to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Convert early CS leads and kill pressure from axe trades into turret plates and forced recalls.
Use lane dominance to secure dragon vision and setup with your support before Jhin's scaling spikes.
Snowball kills into item advantages to maintain pressure and deny Jhin safe scaling windows in teamfights.
