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 Yone

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Charge Mortal Steel on minions

    Hit twice with Mortal Steel (Q), minions included, to charge the next one: it makes you dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.

  2. Cleave several champions at once

    Cast Spirit Cleave (W) on several champions at once: it deals damage based on their max health, and your shield grows with the number of champions hit.

  3. Engage in spirit form

    Cast Soul Unbound (E) to engage: when it ends, you snap back to the body you left behind, and part of the damage you dealt to champions is repeated.

  4. Line them up for your ult

    Cast Fate Sealed (R) through several enemies: everyone in the line is hit and knocked into the air toward you, and you reappear behind the last champion hit.

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.
