Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most 2v2s due to Nautilus's superior engage and Kai'Sa's burst potential with passive stacks.
- Post-6 you still struggle as Nautilus R + Kai'Sa R creates unavoidable engage scenarios that your R cannot consistently counter.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q stuns through minions when Nautilus is positioned aggressively, then follow with meep-enhanced auto and W for Jhin to capitalize.
- Your best trades happen when you can Q-stun Kai'Sa during her Q animation or when she's isolated from Nautilus.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 3, especially when Jhin has good wave clear with Q bounces.
- Time your roams when the wave is pushing toward your tower or when Jhin can safely farm under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use Q carelessly for poke as it's your only disengage tool against Nautilus hook.
- Avoid collecting chimes when the enemy duo has kill pressure, as your absence leaves Jhin extremely vulnerable to all-ins.
