Tips and Tricks

Jhin is a versatile champion who's abilities are deadly from a distance. He relies on his team providing enough CC and a strong front line to allow him to get off his spells.

Jhin's ultimate, Curtain Call, deals more damage when the target's HP is lower. Save it on champions running away or to finish them off.

Jhin FAQs

Q: How do you use Jhin's Ultimate?

A: You toggle Jhin's ultimate on by pressing R once. Then, you can aim with your mouse. When you want to fire a shot, tap R. You have.4 shots. If you move or are CC'd, your Ultimate will be interrupted, so don't accidently right click.

Q: What does Jhin specialize in?

A: Jhin specializes in dealing massive damage in a limited amount of time. Your LoL Jhin build should focus on maximizing his AD, critical strike damage, or lethality. Be aware of how many shots you have remaining. While you are reloading, you are an easy target.

Q: I'm missing a lot of CS while reloading, what should I do?

A: While reloading, you can still last hit minions using your Q and W abilities. While farming, save your Q for CS. Don't waste it to harass your enemies or when your AA is available.

Q: When should I use Jhin's W ability?

A: Jhin's W deals relatively little damage, especially relative to his auto-attacks. It's not a great ability to use to deal damage in the middle of a fight. Use it to root fleeing enemies/closing ganks or to last hit a very low health enemy at a distance. It works well in low health enemies if you also have the Dark Harvest rune.

Additional Jhin Build Insights

League of Legends Jhin players will likely find him to be a difficult champion to build out properly. You will notice that his build changes when he is playing against either generic or highly focused team comps, meaning you should not select the same Jhin build every round of League of Legends

The best items to include in your champ's build include: Youmuu's Ghostblade, Stormrazor, and The Collector. Those who added these pieces in their gear had a significantly better win rate than those who tried for other Jhin builds. Similarly, if you are facing a mixed enemy team comp, you should strongly consider getting him the Precision, and Sorcery runes. In recent games, he won the greatest percentage of his matches when built with these runes.

We calculated our Jhin build suggestions by analyzing 169,061 recently ranked LoL rounds with him selected. We only propose the highest winrate Jhin builds that were used by ranked players enough times for us to reccomend them.
