Playing as Jinx
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Yunara
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her prayer bead
Dodge Arc of Judgment (W): the bead slows you, then damages you every second, and it reaches 1150.
- Short trades
Take short trades: each Yunara auto charges Cultivation of Spirit (Q), which then gives her attack speed and bonus damage.
- Engage outside her Transcendent State
If you can engage, go in while Transcend One's Self (R) is on cooldown: outside her Transcendent State, she has no dash, only the speed of Kanmei's Steps (E).
- Spread out while her Q is active
When Cultivation of Spirit (Q) is active, spread out from your allies: her autos then spread to nearby enemies.
