Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Jhin's range and poke but can win all-ins if you land E successfully.
- Post-6 you have kill pressure in extended trades, but Jhin's burst combo can still chunk you before you reach him.
How to Trade
- Your trading revolves around landing E to guarantee Q empowered autos and forcing extended trades where your W blocks his fourth shot.
- Wait for Jhin to use abilities on minions, then engage when his W is down and he can't root you mid-dash.
Wave Control
- Let Jhin push early levels to farm safely, then look for freezes near your tower where you can run him down with E.
- After 6, maintain wave control to enable R roams while keeping Jhin pushed in to deny his own roaming potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on obvious predictions as good Jhins will sidestep and punish your long cooldown.
- Never engage when Jhin has fourth shot ready and W available, as the root into execute damage will kill you even through W shield.
