Jhin's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Whisper (P)

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 Tristana

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Bomb, then Rapid Fire

    Plant Explosive Charge (E), then activate Rapid Fire (Q): the attack speed helps you land the 4 hits that make it explode right away, at full power.

  2. Keep them at a distance

    Hit from range and back off as soon as they come close: Draw a Bead (passive) increases your attack range with each level.

  3. Chain your jumps

    Chain your jumps in teamfights: Rocket Jump (W) resets right away on a champion takedown, or when Explosive Charge (E) explodes at max stacks on a champion.

  4. Knock back the assassin with your ult

    Save Buster Shot (R) for the assassin who jumps on you: the cannonball knocks back your target and nearby enemies, and stuns them.

Playing against Jhin

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Interrupt his ult

    During Curtain Call (R), he stays in place to channel: if you have CC, interrupt him, otherwise flank him.
