Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Seraphine's superior sustain and poke combination with Caitlyn's range.
- Post-6 remains difficult as their disengage matches your engage tools while they maintain better sustained damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use R+Q for burst trades when Jhin can follow up with W, then immediately R+E to disengage before they can retaliate.
- Focus on short trades since you can't match their sustained damage and healing.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Jhin can safely farm under tower, typically after level 6 when your R+Q provides strong gank setup mid.
- Time roams when enemies are pushed up and you've poked them low enough that Jhin won't get dove.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste R on E shields during minor poke trades since you need R+Q burst for meaningful damage windows.
- Avoid extended trades where Seraphine can heal back damage, instead focus on quick burst patterns with Jhin's follow-up.
