Guide to Countering Ahri as Jinx

Tips for Playing as Jinx against Ahri

Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.

Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.

When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.

Advice to Win Against Ahri

Stay behind minions to make Charm difficult to land, this will reduce Ahri's damage potential significantly.

Ahri's survivability is dramatically reduced when her Ultimate, Spirit Rush, is down.
