Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s due to Jinx's superior range and rocket poke damage, making trades unfavorable until you have multiple abilities.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with R if you can land W to set up your combo, but Jinx still has range advantage and can kite backwards.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve using Q for the shield, then immediately following with E to chunk her while the shield absorbs return damage.
- Always look to trade when she's in minigun form as her range is reduced, and try to force extended trades where your sustained damage from Q resets can outpace her burst.
Wave Control
- Focus on shoving waves with E to collect Hex Fragments safely and prevent Jinx from freely poking you under tower.
- Prioritize getting your first augment on E for the Aftershock damage, which significantly improves your waveclear and makes it harder for her to contest your farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her poke range early game as you'll lose the trade every time due to her superior auto-attack range.
- Avoid fighting in open areas where she can kite you effectively - instead, use brush and terrain to force closer engagements where your burst combo is more effective.
