Playing as Jhin

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Hwei

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his damage spell

    Trade after he uses a damage spell: Devastating Fire (QQ), Severing Bolt (QW) and Molten Fissure (QE) share a 10 to 6 second cooldown.

  2. Don't stand still or alone

    Don't stand still or alone: Severing Bolt (QW) strikes after a delay and deals more damage to isolated or immobilized enemies.

  3. Jump on him if you can

    If you can engage, jump on him right after one of his CC spells: Hwei has no dash or leap, and Subject: Torment (E) has a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Move away from the ally hit by his R

    If an ally is hit by Spiraling Despair (R), move away from them: the vision expands around its target, slows and damages nearby enemies, then explodes.
