Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Lategame Oriented Build:

  1. "This one is late game oriented, it´s good when the enemy team doesn´t have a lot of cc/assassin so Jhin is free to auto attack a lot in teamfights, that´s why i go conqueror and bloodthirst, so i can survive long enough to stack conqueror and use the bonus DMG of the fully stacked conqueror with the 100% crit chance" -Emme4x

Lethality Build:

  1. "This one is the same we used on the guide for 2.4b, except its updated since we can´t build 2 infinity edges anymore, but they changed mortal reminder, it has less armor penetration in the early, so this build is good with a support that has cc and if the enemy botlane doesn´t have a lot of poke/tank. I´d say this build works only for skilled players if they duo with a good support vs a good matchup on bot so they can snowball(no tanks/poke)" -Emme4x

VayneVayne 's early game is weak compared to JhinJhin and they constantly run the risk of you snowballing when they make a mistake and die.

Things change however when they are paired with a LuluLulu because you cannot kill them easily. Emme4x usually permabans LuluLulu for this reason.

Thanks to Emme4x

This guide was made in collaboration with Emme4x who is at the time of this guide top1 Jhin on the EU server.  He also streams occasionally on twitch (Twitch Channel)

Early Game

It´s really hard to explain the ins and outs of a successful gameplay, it simply takes time to learn and become better. Having a guideline of goals to work alongside usually helps the best. So what are you trying to achieve in the early stage of the game.

  1.  Win lane priority 
    • Lane priority means you are pushing over your side of the map (enemies are stuck under their tower), this makes it easier to fulfill the second goal
  2.  Set up deeper vision (around the vision plant, river, dragon pit)
    • by doing so you gain a lot of security against ganks by the enemy jungler and at the same time you enable your jungler to move more freely around and rotate to your lane or mid lane
  3.  Get tower plates or the whole turret
    • Plates give you valuable gold to purchase your 1st item quicker and scoring the 1st turret of the game provides massive gold to your whole team + it opens up the map and makes it harder for the enemy laners to push because they lack a space of safety 
Jhin

Mid Game

For the sake of simplicity we assume you achieved most of your goals in early game and bought your first items. Now it is time to:

  1.  Rotate to the losing lane of your team (preferably alongside your support)
    • by doing so you will get your teammates ahead and prevent a 1v9 scenario. Wild Rift is a team game and you cannot win alone. 
  2.  Destroy turrets and score 2v1/3v2 kills to snowball
    • you are a a valuable target for the enemy so don´t engage fights with a disadvantage (poor vision around the fight, 1v2/2v3)
  3.  Get your team ahead in gold, objective or even with simple vision if things aren´t looking too good
    • You are great at last hitting an objective with your 4th shot so always utilize this opportunity 

Things to avoid: 

  1.  Don´t face check bushes like a maniac. Running into a bush with potential enemies inside without a ward inside is a suicide mission and you deserve the blame for it.SO don´t do it
  2.  Don´t roam around the map alone. You will simply be a walking bag of gold for the enemy to farm
Jhin

Late Game / Teamfights

The later stages of the game are dangerous because a simple mistake can throw the game, this is especially true when you as the ADC make the mistake because most of the time you are the win condition at this point. Teamfights and roaming with the team is the best thing to do. Never be alone!

How to engage a teamfight/objective:

  • Best case scenario: Your ally Galio, Leona, Alistar, Braum is an absolute god and sets up perfect engages for you to follow up on
  • Worst case scenario: Your allies are scared to engage and need a little push. You can do this by setting up Captive AudienceCaptive Audience and hope someone walks into it, if so follow up with Deadly FlourishDeadly Flourish + Curtain CallCurtain Call and hope your team gets the hint
  • Team dif scenario: Set up your Captive AudienceCaptive Audience around the objective, this will provide you vision and show you when they start it up. Now you have two options:
    1.  Steal it with your 4th shot or Curtain CallCurtain Call
    2.  Hope for your team to run in and you clean up

What are your goals during a teamfight:

  • Fight with an advantage in numbers, gold, location of the fight (close to your turret, a safe bush etc.)
  • Burst down the enemy ADC
  • Provide utility with Captive AudienceCaptive Audience before the fight even brakes out or during the fight with soft CC
  • Kite the enemy assassin but try to stay close to your team and the fight

Should you even teamfight?

  • A lot of times teams fight for no reason forgetting that this game is an objective based game and not a team deathmatch
  • Objectives > Kills
  • Did someone valuable die and you will fight 4v5 ... then don´t
  • Don´t fight across the map when an objective is up (e.g Elder Drake, Baron)
