Who Wins
- You win pre-6 2v2s with hook engage and passive lockdown, but struggle post-6 against Brand's R damage and Jinx's kiting potential.
- Your engage becomes riskier as they gain damage and peel options.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q angles when Brand steps up to poke or when Jinx is in minigun form for CS.
- Follow your hook with W shield and passive auto, then E slow to enable Jhin's follow-up damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after pushing waves or when enemies back, targeting mid lane or jungle skirmishes.
- Time roams when Brand uses W on minions and has limited mana for counter-engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook into Brand when he has full combo available unless Jhin can immediately follow up with damage.
- Missing Q leaves you vulnerable to their poke and gives them lane control for 10+ seconds.
