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 Veigar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay in the center of his cage

    If Event Horizon (E) lands around you, stay inside: only the edge stuns, and the cage disappears after 3 seconds.

  2. Dodge his Dark Matter

    Get out of the Dark Matter (W) zone as soon as the spell shows: it hurts a lot, but falls from the sky with a delay.

  3. Don't let him grow

    Dodge his spells and deny him kills: with Phenomenal Evil Power (passive), each spell that hits a champion and each takedown gives him power.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, don't stay in his range at low health: Primordial Burst (R) deals more damage based on your missing health, peaking below 33%.
