Jhin vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jhin's fourth-shot punishment against Hwei's predictable CS positioning.
Jhin wins short trades and wave states with low minions; avoid extended fights against Hwei's poke and CC.
Hold wave thin to enable (Q) bounce damage and use (W) only on marked targets after support or trap setup.

Trading pattern

Punish Hwei when stepping up for melee or cannon minion CS if enemy support is out of zone.
Use (Q) bounce through low-health minions to hit Hwei, then follow with empowered fourth shot.
Hold (W) to root Hwei only after allied poke, CC, or trap damage marks him for reliable follow-up.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping forward when (E) fear or root is available, especially with enemy support nearby.
Beware of extended trades after your fourth shot is spent or during reload windows.
Respect enemy support positioning controlling brush or engage zones that block your last-hit punish opportunities.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a thin wave and punish Hwei's last hits with fourth shot autos.
Prioritize level 2 trades when your support can safely follow up on (W) roots.
Avoid pushing large waves early to prevent Hwei from using (E) CC or (Q) poke effectively.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready: enables direct burst trades and punishes Hwei's CS attempts.
Level 6 (R) unlocks long-range execute; use after CC or trap zones to deny safe retreats.
First completed damage item strengthens fourth-shot trades, forcing Hwei to respect your burst windows.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot lane pressure into health leads to force Hwei recalls and secure plates.
Use trap zones and (R) to control dragon entrances and punish low-health retreats.
Transition lane control into teamfights where Jhin's burst and pick setup maximize DPS impact.
