More Gameplay Tips for Jinx Players

Tips and Tricks

Jinx's Switcheroo gives her great lane-clearing ability. Switching to the minigun is good for close-combat encounters. Otherwise Rockets provide good range to damage from a safe distance.

Try to keep a good range with Rockets during teamfights unless there is a need to get in close with minigun. Staying far can ensure that you dish out damage for a long time.

Jinx FAQs

Q: What are the strengths and weaknesses of Jinx in League of Legends?

A: Jinx can ramp up her attack speed through her skill. This means that your LoL Jinx build can focus on more attack damage and/or on-hit items instead of on building attack speed directly. Jinx can also discourage chasing and ganks with her flame chompers. She can also execute fleeing and other low-health enemies with her AoE nuke. While Jinx has a lot of strengths, she also has one very large weakness. She has little ability to escape if her chompers miss or she's being attacked from two directions. Focus on your positioning and don't get into unnecessary danger!

Q: How should I use Jinx's crowd control abilities?

A: Jinx's chompers are great to throw on top of enemies who have already been CC'd to keep them locked down for an extra long time. Her Zap ability is great to prevent chasing champions from catching you or to slow fleeing enemies. It is also a great poke, but since it can be dodged or intercepted, it's not a reliable source of damage. It's sometimes better to save it for when it's needed rather than throwing it out for more poke.

Additional Jinx Build Insights

LoL Jinx players may find her to be a confusing champion to build out properly. You will find that her build is modified when she is playing against either well-rounded or specialized team compositions, meaning you should not take the same Jinx build every round of League of Legends

The best items to use in your champ's build include: Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, and Bloodthirster. Those who added these pieces in their kits had a higher win rate than those who went for other builds for Jinx. Moreover, if you are playing a well-mixed enemy team arrangement, you should really consider grabbing Jinx the Precision, and Resolve runes. In recent games, she won the largest number of her rounds when built with these runes.

We calculated our Jinx build suggestions by examining 118,821 recently ranked LoL games with her in them. We only propose the highest winrate Jinx builds that have been built by ranked League players enough times for us to propose them. With so many matches in our data, we are quite confident in our provided builds.
