Who Wins

  • Pre-6: Jhin+Vel'Koz wins due to superior poke range and burst potential through Q+E combos.
  • Post-6: Still favors Jhin+Vel'Koz as your R is telegraphed and they have better pick potential with Jhin W+R and Vel'Koz R.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q rockets for safe farming and harass when Vel'Koz abilities are on cooldown.
  • Only commit to extended trades with W slow when Soraka can follow up with Q silence and sustain you afterward.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push waves hard with Q rockets to force them under tower where Vel'Koz poke is less effective.
  • Avoid freezing as you need item scaling and their poke will eventually force you out of lane.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't get caught by Vel'Koz E knockup as it sets up easy Jhin W root and potential kill combos.
  • Respect their level 6 power spike and avoid face-checking brushes where Jhin can get free W setups.
