Playing as Jhin
Tips to maximize your impact
- Trade with your 4th shot
Save your 4th shot to trade: Whisper (passive) always makes it a critical strike with bonus damage, and each crit gives you move speed.
- Fire W at a target already hit
Fire Deadly Flourish (W) right after you or an ally hit the target: they're then rooted, and you gain move speed.
- Trap the brush
Place Captive Audience (E) in brush and along your escape path: the trap is invisible, slows the enemy who steps on it, then explodes.
- Save your 4th shot to finish
Save the 4th shot of Curtain Call (R) to finish someone off: each bullet slows and hits harder on a wounded target, and the 4th is a critical strike.
Playing against Aurelion Sol
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Breath of Light (Q) hits the first enemy in its path, and only the seconds spent on a champion give him Stardust.
- Play hard early
Play hard early and don't let the game drag on: with Cosmic Creator (passive), each of Aurelion Sol's abilities grows permanently stronger through Stardust.
- Get out of the black hole fast
Leave Singularity (E) quickly: it pulls you toward its center, where it executes enemies below a health threshold, and each second inside gives him Stardust.
