Who Wins

  • You lose level 2 due to mana costs and Caitlyn-Lux's superior early burst, but win level 6 when your R execute and global pressure outscale their combo.
  • Your W also hard counters their poke patterns.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q to poke while building passive stacks, then W to block their abilities when they try to trade back.
  • Follow up with E root when they're forced to step forward, allowing Jinx to switch forms and DPS.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam mid after shoving with Q around levels 4-6 when your E-R combo becomes lethal.
  • Time roams when Jinx can safely farm alone and you have R available for global pressure.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W defensively against single abilities - save it for blocking their full combo attempts.
  • Never use R without sufficient Overwhelm stacks as the damage will be negligible without proper setup.
