Who Wins
- You win level 2 fights with passive stuns and ability to block Nautilus hooks with shield.
- You lose level 6+ engages when Nautilus ultimate bypasses your shield and Smolder's scaling damage becomes threatening.
Synergy & Trading
- Use shield to block Nautilus hooks and Smolder poke, then look for passive procs when enemies are out of position.
- Coordinate passive stacks with Jinx's weapon swaps to maximize damage windows during successful engages.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Jinx can safely farm and you have deep vision for river control.
- Best timings are after pushing waves, when objectives spawn, or when mid lane needs assistance against enemy roams.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste shield on Smolder's basic attacks instead of saving it for Nautilus hook engages.
- Avoid standing directly behind Jinx against Smolder's ultimate, as it can hit both of you through your positioning.
