Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s as Leona has stronger base damage and Naafiri outdamages Jhin in extended fights.
- Post-6 remains difficult as Naafiri's R can dodge your Q and reach your ADC despite your peel.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q hooks when Leona uses E aggressively, then follow with W shield and E slow to protect Jhin.
- Use your passive root on whoever Jhin hits with W to extend the lockdown duration.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after pushing waves when Jhin has safe farm under tower, typically after first back or when enemies recall.
- Time roams around mid lane ganks or river skirmishes where your Q can be game-changing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when enemies are in range to engage, as it's your only tool to interrupt Leona's combo.
- Never roam when Jhin doesn't have flash available against this dive-heavy composition.
