Game plan for Jhin

Early game

Prioritise last hits and short trades after the opponent misses a spell. Keep your movement free between attacks instead of standing still to finish a sequence.

Team fights

Attack the closest safe target while tracking enemy engage. Keep your defensive movement available until the threat commits.

Mistake to avoid

Walking forward for the final combo hit when the enemy still has crowd control.

Learn Jhin abilities and prepare your first games. Find builds for each supported role.

Learn the champion’s kit

In the practice tool, cast each ability separately and check its range, targeting and effect. Read the passive before practising a sequence: it can change how attacks and spells work together.

P · Whisper

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.

Q · Dancing Grenade

Jhin launches a magical cartridge at an enemy. It can hit up to four targets and gains damage each time it kills.

Rank-one cooldown : 7 seconds

W · Deadly Flourish

Jhin brandishes his cane, firing a single shot with incredible range. It pierces through minions and monsters, but stops on the first champion hit. If the target was recently struck by Jhin's allies, lotus traps, or damaged by Jhin, they are rooted.

Rank-one cooldown : 12 seconds

E · Captive Audience

Jhin places an invisible lotus trap that blooms when walked over. It slows nearby enemies before dealing damage with an explosion of serrated petals. Beauty in Death - When Jhin kills an enemy champion, a lotus trap will bloom near their corpse.

Rank-one cooldown : 2 seconds

R · Curtain Call

Jhin channels, transforming Whisper into a shoulder-mounted mega-cannon. It is able to fire 4 super shots at extreme range that pierce through minions and monsters, but stop on the first champion impacted. Whisper cripples enemies hit, which slows them and deals execute damage. The 4th shot is perfectly crafted, epically powerful, and guaranteed to critically strike.

Rank-one cooldown : 120 seconds

Abilities: Riot Games Data Dragon 16.20.1. Descriptions may change with balance updates.

Practice before ranked

First test each spell against a target dummy. Identify the skill you need to escape or survive before spending it offensively. Check alternate forms or empowered casts in the game too. Practise a sequence slowly, then repeat it while moving.

Before you engage

Check the enemy’s control and escape spells, your health and resources, ally position and retreat path. An available ultimate is not by itself a reason to commit.

Review your first games

Review one missed spell, one unnecessary death and one lost objective. Practise the specific mistake before adding complex sequences. Start with the role you intend to play.

Choose your role and build

Compare the build, rune page, skill priority and matchups for your role. Later purchases depend on the enemy team.
