Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Jinx lose the 2v2 — Brand and Zyra both outpoke you at early levels, and their combined CC chain (Brand Q stun into Zyra E root) can kill Jinx before you can respond with heals.
Post-6, your R gives you a fight-winning tool if you can land it on both enemies, but Brand's R passive bounce and Zyra's R knockup mean a mispositioned teamfight still ends badly for your duo.

Your best trading pattern is to use E to shield Jinx preemptively when you see Brand or Zyra winding up, then immediately retaliate with Q poke — if you proc your passive double-cast on Q, the extra damage and slow create a meaningful trade window.
Follow up with W heal only after the enemy burst is spent, not during, so you don't waste it on chip damage.

You should generally not roam pre-6 because Jinx has no escape and leaving her alone against Brand and Zyra is a near-guaranteed death.
Post-6, if you've shoved the wave and both enemies are low or have burned summoners, a roam to mid with your R can be impactful — but only when Jinx is safe under turret with the wave in a favorable state.

Do not use your W offensively to poke when Jinx needs the heal — Brand and Zyra will punish the moment Jinx is low and your W is on cooldown.
Avoid clustering with Jinx, as Brand's R bounces between nearby targets and Zyra's R hits both of you simultaneously, turning a small skirmish into a wipe.
