Jinx vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane hinges on Jinx surviving poke and scaling safely against Hwei's long-range control and CC.
Jinx wins extended trades and grouped fights post-item spikes, while Hwei pressures early with poke and CC.
Hold waves near your side to use rocket splash on clustered CS and avoid Hwei's poke angles.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto-attack Hwei during last-hit animations when support threat is low and minions cluster.
Use (W) to punish Hwei's predictable movement after they commit to last hits or poke spells.
Hold (E) traps on common engage paths to punish Hwei if support initiates, rather than random poke attempts.

Danger windows

Respect (E) CC choice, especially fear or root, which sets up burst or disengage.
Avoid stepping into brush or river without vision when Hwei's support can engage immediately after CC.
Be cautious when (R) is available; their all-in threat spikes and can punish overextensions.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm with rockets behind minions, avoiding stepping into (E) CC range.
Punish Hwei's last-hit attempts only if enemy support cannot immediately follow or zone you.
Avoid pushing past river early to deny Hwei easy poke angles and CC setups from brush or support.

Power spikes

First completed item lets Jinx contest wave control and punish Hwei's poke more confidently.
Two-item spike greatly increases Jinx's rocket range and DPS, making grouped fights dangerous for Hwei.
Level 6 (R) allows Jinx to execute long-range resets, increasing threat in extended trades and objective fights.

Win conditions

Survive early poke and avoid all-ins before your first item to reach key DPS spikes.
Use rocket splash to punish Hwei clustered near low-health minions and force recalls or lost CS.
Convert first takedown resets into sustained DPS in teamfights, leveraging your range and peel to win fights.
