What makes Jhin dangerous
Jhin loads four shots and hits like a truck on the crit-empowered fourth, roots you with a bouncing W, litters lanes with traps, and snipes low targets across the screen with his ultimate. He deals enormous burst but is completely immobile.
How to play against Jhin
- 1Watch his ammo: after the big fourth shot he must reload — trade into that window.
- 2His W root needs vision or a mark on you; break line of sight to avoid it.
- 3Destroy his traps around objectives and in brush; they reveal and root.
- 4Engage on him hard — he has no dash and cannot escape a committed all-in.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓No mobility or dash of any kind — the least slippery marksman.
- ✓Reload windows leave him defenseless; punish them.
- ✓His root needs setup (vision/mark); deny it and he can't peel himself.
- ✓Weak when forced into a fast, mobile fight.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Jhin's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Morte in quattro attiL'arma di Jhin, Sussurro, è uno strumento preciso progettato per infliggere danni sproporzionati. Spara con una cadenza fissa e ha solo quattro proiettili. Jhin incanta l'ultimo proiettile con magie nere per mettere a segno un colpo critico e infliggere danni bonus da esecuzione. Quando Sussurro mette a segno un colpo critico, ispira in Jhin un aumento di velocità di movimento.
Strong: the empowered fourth shot crits hard and he speeds up after a kill. Weak: after the fourth shot he must reload — trade into that window.
Q
Ispirazione improvvisaJhin spara un bossolo magico a un nemico. Può colpire fino a quattro bersagli e aumenta i suoi danni ogni volta che uccide.
Strong: a bouncing grenade that grows and can execute low targets. Weak: it bounces to the nearest enemy — spacing away from allies limits it.
W
Florilegio letaleJhin brandisce il suo bastone, sparando un singolo colpo con una gittata incredibile. Perfora minion e mostri, ma si ferma al primo campione. Se il bersaglio era stato colpito di recente dagli alleati di Jhin, dalle trappole di loto o dagli attacchi base, viene trattenuto.
Strong: a very long root through minions if you're marked or in his team's vision. Weak: needs a mark or vision — break line of sight and it can't root you.
E
Catturare il pubblicoJhin piazza una trappola di loto invisibile che sboccia quando viene calpestata. Rallenta i nemici nelle vicinanze per poi infliggere danni con un'esplosione di petali taglienti. Bellezza nella morte: quando Jhin uccide un campione nemico, una trappola di loto sboccia vicino al cadavere.
Strong: invisible traps that root and reveal around objectives and brush. Weak: they're visible up close and destroyable — sweep and clear them.
R
Chiamata alla ribaltaJhin canalizza, trasformando Sussurro in un maestoso cannone da spalla. È in grado di sparare 4 colpi potenziati con grande gittata, capaci di perforare minion e mostri, ma che si fermano al primo campione colpito. Sussurro menoma i nemici colpiti, rallentandoli e infliggendo danni da esecuzione. Il quarto colpo è perfetto e ha una potenza epica che garantisce il colpo critico.
Strong: four long-range shots that snipe and execute from screens away. Weak: he's rooted while channelling and the shots are dodgeable — break vision or juke.
Itemization
Any hard engage or dive punishes him hard. Boots of Swiftness and grievous aside, the answer is mobility and forcing fights during his reload.
