Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most 2v2s due to Leona's superior engage range and burst potential with Q-E combo.
- Post-6 you still struggle as Leona's R provides instant lockdown while your R has a 2.5 second delay, making it unreliable in sudden engages.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for extended trades where you can stack your passive and use multiple Q heals while Jinx provides sustained damage.
- Your E stun works best when Leona commits fully to an engage, allowing you to counter-engage on Kai'Sa who lacks mobility pre-6.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam mid or jungle when Jinx has wave control and is safe, typically after successful backs or when the wave is pushing toward enemy tower.
- Your roam timings are strongest when your R is available as it can turn skirmishes decisively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use your E reactively against Leona's engage as the cast time is too slow to interrupt her combo.
- Avoid wasting your R on poke trades since the long cooldown leaves you vulnerable to Leona's all-ins for the next 160+ seconds.
