Sivir vs Jinx

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on managing (E) to block Jinx's root or poke spells.
Sivir wins short trades by punishing Jinx's last-hit animations with (Q) and (W).
Jinx scales harder with item spikes; Sivir must deny early CS and crash waves to control tempo.

Trading pattern

Punish Jinx's last-hit attempts by stepping forward with (Q) when enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Use (W) to hit Jinx through minions when she clusters near the wave for CS.
Avoid short-range auto trades without (E) available, as Jinx outranges Sivir with rockets.

Danger windows

Step back when (E) is down, as (E) root and support engage become lethal.
Respect enemy support positioning in brush or river, which can punish your step forward for CS.
Avoid trading when (Q) rocket is ready and she can safely poke from range with support peel.

Early game

Use the first three waves to clear with (W) and punish Jinx stepping up for caster minions.
Hold (E) to block (E) root or key support engage spells before trading.
Avoid pushing past river early to prevent Jinx's safe poke with rockets and support follow-up.

Power spikes

(E) availability is the main power spike; hold it to negate Jinx's root or engage.
Level 6 (R) enables team movement advantage; coordinate engages or disengages with your team.
First completed marksman item strengthens waveclear and poke, allowing safer CS denial and plate pressure.

Win conditions

Convert waveclear and (E) trades into crashing waves to deny Jinx plates and force recalls.
Reach item spikes to match Jinx's poke and scaling, then use (W) to pressure in teamfights.
Use (R) to enable your team’s engage or disengage around dragon fights and objective control.
