Jhin's abilities
Passive, spells and ultimate
Jhin's hand cannon, Whisper, is a precise instrument designed to deal superior damage. It fires at a fixed rate and carries only four shots. Jhin imbues the final bullet with dark magics to critically strike and deal bonus execute damage. Whenever Whisper crits, it inspires Jhin with a burst of Move Speed.

Playing as Miss Fortune
Tips to maximize your impact
- Double Up off a dying minion
Fire Double Up (Q) at a dying minion in front of a champion: if the shot kills the minion, the bounce onto the champion always crits.
- Switch targets
Switch targets often: Love Tap (passive) adds damage on each new target, and lowers the cooldown of Strut (W).
- Position with Strut
Activate Strut (W) to get in position before Bullet Time (R): you instantly gain its max move speed bonus, plus attack speed.
- R into clumped enemies
Cast Bullet Time (R) on enemies who are CC'd or bunched up in a chokepoint: it's a channeled cone, and each wave can crit.
Playing against Jhin
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade while he reloads
Trade right after his 4th shot: Whisper (passive) then has to reload, and only his spells can hit you while he does.
- Respect his W after a hit
After Jhin or his allies hit you, step out of the line of Deadly Flourish (W): it roots you if you were damaged in the last 4 seconds, and it has huge range.
- Punish his lack of mobility
If you can engage, go for him when his support walks away: with no dash or leap, Jhin can only back off on foot.
- Interrupt his ult
During Curtain Call (R), he stays in place to channel: if you have CC, interrupt him, otherwise flank him.
