Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Jhin's superior range and Nautilus's hook threat limiting your positioning for Q poke.
- Post-6 remains difficult since Jhin's R outranges your abilities and Nautilus can still catch you during your slow animations.
Synergy & Trading
- Stay behind minions to avoid Nautilus Q while using your range advantage to Q poke when Jhin steps up for CS.
- Your best trades occur when Leona lands E-Q, allowing you to safely W-Q-auto for maximum damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on slow pushing to build soul stacks while maintaining safe positioning behind the wave.
- Avoid hard shoving since you're vulnerable to ganks and prefer longer lanes where your range advantage matters more.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't greedily step forward for Q poke when Nautilus has Q available, as getting hooked often means death.
- Avoid using W aggressively without Leona's engage since your self-root makes you an easy target for Jhin's W follow-up.
