Who Wins
- Pre-6: Jhin-Nautilus wins through superior range control and hook threat, forcing you to farm defensively and miss CS.
- Post-6: The matchup becomes more even as your R gives you repositioning tools, but Jhin's R and Nautilus R still provide strong counter-engage.
Synergy & Trading
- Focus on short Q-W poke trades when enemies are positioned near minions, maximizing Q missile count.
- When Rell lands W, immediately follow with Q-auto-W for plasma stacks, but be ready to E away from Nautilus counter-engage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain neutral or slightly pushing waves to enable Rell's roaming while staying safe.
- Avoid hard pushing unless you have vision, as Nautilus-Jhin can easily set up ganks with their CC chain.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E aggressively for trades without tracking Nautilus Q cooldown, as getting hooked while E is down often means death.
- Don't greed for CS when Jhin has fourth shot ready and Nautilus is in hook range.
