Who Wins
- You win pre-6 2v2s through superior damage output and poke potential compared to Rakan's limited early engage.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage if you can avoid Rakan's R+W combo, as your burst damage still outmatches their all-in potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Lead with Q when enemies are positioned linearly or W for guaranteed damage, then follow with full combo if you land stun.
- Use your passive burn damage to pressure enemies out of lane, forcing them to respect your zone control and damage threat.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam when Jinx is safe to farm or when major objectives are spawning.
- Optimal roam timings are after pushing waves or when mid lane is gankable, as your Q stun and burst damage provide strong gank assistance.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when enemies can engage, as it's your primary self-peel tool against Rakan.
- Avoid positioning too aggressively without vision, as Rakan's mobility allows him to punish overextension with quick engage combos.
