Who Wins

Pre-6, Seraphine's W into E root into Ahri E is a faster and more reliable kill setup than anything you can produce, so you lose the 2v2 if they play aggressively and you're not pre-emptively using W to interrupt their engage.
Post-6, your R fundamentally changes the dynamic — Jinx with R active is nearly unkillable in one rotation, and you can time-bomb Ahri to punish her if she dives.

Your best trading pattern is Q-slowing one of them to bait out Seraphine's W or E, then W-rewinding your Q to double-bomb for a stun, giving Jinx a free extended auto window.
Prioritize stunning Seraphine over Ahri when possible, since Seraphine's E root is the primary setup tool for their kill combo.

You should not roam proactively — Jinx has zero self-peel and leaving her alone against Ahri + Seraphine is a death sentence.
The only exception is a post-6 scenario where the wave is crashed under their tower and Jinx is safe recalling, at which point a mid roam with your R can swing the game.

Do not use your R reactively after Jinx is already in Ahri's E animation — the charm is a hard CC that plays out before your R shield resolves the kill threat.
You must pre-emptively R Jinx when you see Ahri positioning for E, not after the combo has already landed.
