Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Jhin lose most extended trades because Karma's E shield and W slow negate your engage attempts, and Jinx's range advantage lets her freely poke while you struggle to close gap without burning Q.
Post-6, your R gives you a meaningful all-in threat, but Karma's R-E can still shield through your ult's damage burst, so you only win if you land R on both enemies simultaneously.

Your best pattern is to Q onto a minion or Jinx to apply passive stacks, then immediately body-block for Jhin so he can land his fourth shot — never initiate without Jhin being in position to follow up, as your damage alone is negligible and you become a wasted cooldown.

You want to play behind the wave and let Jhin slow-push; do not hard shove because Jinx's chompers and Karma's W will punish your overextension and deny your Q engage angles.
A slow push gives you a freeze-break opportunity where you can Q onto Jinx when she steps up to contest.

Do not waste your E on poke trades — Karma's shield will absorb it and you'll have no defensive tool when Jinx or Karma all-in you.
Save E reactively for Karma's R-Q burst or Jinx's chomper trap combos.
