Who Wins
- Pre-6: You lose most 2v2s due to lower damage output compared to Leona's burst potential with Jhin.
- Post-6: You still struggle since your R is single-target while Leona's R can catch multiple targets for better teamfight setup.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q hooks when enemies are positioned aggressively, then follow with E slow and auto for passive root.
- Your trading relies on catching enemies out of position rather than direct engage fights.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Caitlyn has wave control and can safely farm, targeting mid lane around levels 4-6.
- Time roams around your Q cooldown and when you have river vision control.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions or miss it entirely since it's your primary engage tool with long cooldown.
- Never engage without Caitlyn follow-up damage since your burst is insufficient against Jhin's health pool.
