Jinx vs Jhin

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Jinx wins by preserving health early and using rocket range to contest clustered CS safely.
Jhin pressures with fourth shot and root setups, so Jinx must avoid stepping up alone for last hits.
The lane turns on Jinx denying Jhin's fourth-shot punishes and holding (E) to block engage paths.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin's fourth shot by autoing during his reload or when his support cannot immediately trade back.
Use (W) to slow and poke Jhin when he walks up for CS near low-health minions to maximize poke value.
Avoid extended trades without resets; rely on rocket range and splash to hit clustered minions and Jhin together.

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot ready combined with support CC for root follow-ups when stepping for CS.
Avoid trading when enemy support controls brush or can immediately engage after Jhin's root.
Be cautious when (E) is down, as engage paths become cleaner and Jhin's support can commit more safely.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a slow push near your tower, limiting Jhin's bounce angles.
Avoid stepping up for cannon or melee minions when Jhin's fourth shot is ready unless your support can peel.
Keep (E) ready to punish enemy engage attempts through common support paths or brush.

Power spikes

First completed item lets Jinx safely contest wave and punish Jhin's fourth-shot trades with sustained DPS.
Two-item spike grants rocket range and resets that make front-to-back fights deadly for Jhin's low mobility.
Level 6 (R) adds long-range execute, enabling Jinx to punish low-health recalls and dragon retreats.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by denying Jhin's fourth-shot punishes and maintaining stable CS.
Convert health leads into dragon control and turret plates by crashing waves after item spikes.
Use resets from kills to reposition safely in teamfights and outscale Jhin's burst with sustained DPS.
