Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and wave control, as Jhin lacks mobility to avoid your E poke and has limited sustain.
- Post-6 you dominate all-ins with R zone control forcing Jhin out of position, though you must respect his burst potential if he lands W root.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is E poke when Jhin goes for CS, then Q-auto for shield and Discharge damage if he tries to trade back.
- Use W preemptively when he approaches to CS, as the gravity field forces him to either take stacks or give up farm.
Wave Control
- Push waves with E to deny Jhin CS and force him into unfavorable positions under tower where he struggles to last hit.
- Maintain minion advantage to block his W root attempts and create safe zones for your own positioning.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W reactively after Jhin already has positioning advantage, as the slow deployment gives him time to escape.
- Avoid extended trades without your Q shield available, as Jhin's fourth shot and Q bounce can chunk you heavily.
