Tristana vs Jhin

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on level 2 all-ins where Tristana can jump with support follow-up to punish Jhin's low mobility.
Tristana wins extended trades and turret pressure by stacking (E) and resetting with (W) after kills.
Jhin controls short trades with fourth shot and poke, so Tristana must force fights when wave and support setup allow.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin stepping up for cannon or melee minions by auto-attacking and bursting with stacked (E).
Only jump forward with (W) if your support can immediately follow or you have a reset ready.
Back off trades if enemy support controls brush or can punish your jump; avoid overcommitting to last-hit punishes.

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot when contesting last hits; avoid stepping up without support peel.
Avoid jumping into large minion waves where minion aggro and enemy peel punish your all-in.
Be cautious when your (W) is used forward without reset; Jhin can counterattack during your cooldown.

Early game

Push first two waves to hit level 2 before Jhin and force him to back off low-health minions.
Use (W) jump only with support ready to follow for an all-in before Jhin's fourth shot is threatening.
Avoid last-hitting near low-health caster minions to deny Jhin clean (Q) bounces onto you.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) jump and (E) burst, enabling strong all-ins when support cooldowns allow.
First completed marksman item lets you convert winning trades into turret plates and resets more reliably.
Late game your range and resets let you outscale Jhin's fixed attack cadence and lack of dash.

Win conditions

Snowball by forcing early all-ins at level 2-3 with support help and convert kills into turret plates.
Use wave crashes after winning trades to pressure turret and force Jhin recalls.
Leverage resets from takedowns to extend fights or escape, enabling stronger mid-game objective control and teamfight DPS.
