Playing as Jinx

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke with rockets, trade with minigun

    Poke with Fishbones, the rocket launcher of Switcheroo! (Q), for its range and splash damage, then swap back to the minigun for long trades.

  2. Kite whoever charges you

    Fire Zap! (W) to kite the bruiser running at you or catch an enemy who's fleeing: it slows and reveals the first enemy hit.

  3. Put your traps in their path

    Throw Flame Chompers! (E) in the path of their engage or their escape: they root the champion who steps on them and last 5 seconds.

  4. Focus the lowest-health target

    In teamfights, focus the lowest-health target first: each takedown triggers Get Excited! (passive), a big boost to attack speed and move speed.

  5. Save your rocket to finish

    Fire Super Mega Death Rocket! (R) to finish a fleeing enemy rather than to start a fight: its damage grows with their missing health and over its first second of flight.

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.
