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 Kog'Maw

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Engage when his W ends

    Engage when Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) ends: his attack range drops back to 500, and the spell has a 17-second cooldown.

  2. Punish his lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for him: with no dash or leap, Kog'Maw can only back off on foot, and Void Ooze (E) is his only slow.

  3. Leave his R range at low health

    Below 40% health, get out of range of Living Artillery (R): each shot then deals its max damage to you, and it reaches very far.

  4. Move away when he dies

    When he dies, move away from him: Icathian Surprise (passive) makes him explode 4 seconds later, dealing true damage to nearby enemies.
