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 Syndra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't line up with her spheres

    Don't stand in line between Syndra and one of her spheres: Scatter the Weak (E) pushes it toward you, and it stuns the enemies it hits.

  2. Engage after Scatter the Weak

    If you can engage, go in right after Scatter the Weak (E): she has no dash and nothing else to push you back during its 15-second cooldown.

  3. Count her spheres once she hits 6

    Once she hits level 6, count her spheres before taking a trade: Unleashed Power (R) launches the 3 orbiting her at you, plus up to 4 more nearby.
