Jhin vs Vayne

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jhin's fourth shot punishing Vayne's close CS attempts under support threat.
Jhin wins short burst trades and controls wave states with low minion counts for bounce damage.
Vayne scales better in extended fights and side lanes, so deny her safe farm and recall windows.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Vayne during melee or cannon minion last hits when fourth shot is ready and support can't punish.
Use (Q) bounce through low-health minions to harass Vayne before she can reposition with (Q).
Hold (W) for marked targets after support CC or trap damage to root and burst Vayne, avoiding blind casts.

Danger windows

Vayne is dangerous when (E) is off cooldown and near walls, enabling her to stun and all-in.
Avoid trading when (R) stealth and (Q) reposition are available, as she can dodge (W) and punish reload windows.
Respect enemy support control of brush or engage zones that can follow your step forward for last-hit punish.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a thin wave and bait Vayne into last-hit punishments.
Race to level 2 and pair (W) with support CC to root Vayne before she can reposition with (Q).
Avoid pushing without trap or support coverage to prevent (E) engage through walls.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready creates a strong last-hit punish window that forces Vayne to give up CS or take burst.
Level 6 (R) adds long-range execute and zoning; use it after support CC or traps force Vayne into predictable paths.
First completed damage item strengthens fourth-shot trades, enabling recall or plate leads from single punishes.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot punishments into health leads that force Vayne recalls or lost plates.
Use traps and (R) to zone Vayne during dragon setups or forced retreats.
Maintain wave states that enable (Q) bounces and (W) roots with support CC to secure lane priority and teamfight DPS access.
