Who Wins

  • You win level 2 all-ins with W-Q combo disrupting Irelia's Q resets while Jhin follows up with damage.
  • At level 6, you lose extended fights to Maokai's R setup unless you can immediately counter-engage and burst Irelia before she gets resets.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use W-Q on Irelia when she goes for CS, then Jhin can follow with W root for extended trades.
  • Your E healing keeps trades favorable, but avoid engaging when Maokai has W available as he'll immediately follow up on your ADC.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam when Jhin has wave control and the enemy duo is low, typically after successful trades or when they're forced to recall.
  • Best timings are post-6 when your R provides tower dive potential, or when Maokai roams first and you can counter-roam.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't W-Q into Maokai when he has W ready, as he'll immediately engage on Jhin while you're on cooldown.
  • Avoid using abilities to poke when Irelia has minion resets available, as she can immediately capitalize on your cooldowns.
