Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s due to Nautilus's engage range and hook threat forcing defensive positioning, but win post-6 with R damage and AOE combo potential.
- Jhin's immobility makes him vulnerable to your full rotation once Nautilus commits.
Synergy & Trading
- Poke with W through minions when Nautilus is out of Q range, then follow with Q-E if they're slowed and can't dodge.
- Save your stun for when Nautilus engages to peel for Jinx or to follow up on his hook.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves quickly with W to deny Nautilus roam timings and maintain vision control.
- Keep the wave in a neutral position to avoid ganks while maintaining poke pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q stun on minions or use it for poke when Nautilus has Q available.
- Getting hooked without your stun means certain death against their burst potential.
