Who Wins
- You have good poke potential pre-6 with Q, but Pantheon's engage can be dangerous if he gets on top of you.
- Post-6 your global R pressure and teamfight scaling give you the advantage in extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke and stack Overwhelm, then use W to reflect Jhin's abilities back when he tries to trade.
- Your E can set up Nilah's engages or peel when Pantheon dives.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on scaling and farming, using Q to clear waves and poke.
- Your R gives global pressure so communicate with your team for picks and objective fights.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W on minor poke as it's your main defensive tool against Jhin's burst combos.
- Avoid face-checking bushes where Pantheon can surprise engage before you can react with W.
