Jhin Build
Best Build Guide for Jhin
Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
So we have two major options, crit or lethality, and it depends on both preference and the enemy team. Me personally I play with crit but lethality is good if you wanna one shot squishy enemies.
Youmuu’s Ghostblade is consistent in most builds as it’s a very strong item on jhin. The bonus movement speed and bonus damage lets you chunk enemies hard and is very powerful, how ever, if you want full crit, you have to sacrifice GA
Guardian Angel
.
Another big thing is the difference between stasis and hextech protobelt! - There’s a ton of reasons to go either or but it does come down to one huge thing, how well you use flash. (As well as enemies but I’ll go in more detail after) with flashing it’s your main survivability but if your flashes are usually aggro then go stasis 100% so you can survive the splash back of being aggro. However if you flash defensively then you can go hextech for the aggro plays and more mobility to dodge abilities! One more thing to take note are assassins. If there are assassins TAKE STASIS! Assassins WILL kill you with out it!
Jhin Runes
Best Runes for Jhin
I might have people disagree with me here but lemme explain.
-keystone:
Fleet Footwork
fleet footwork is a very good keystone as it gives healing early on and movement speed when you poke. You can’t utilize conq well due to your low attack speed thanks to your passive [jhin:passive].
-1:
Triumph
triumph may receive some question marks but it’s very very good with [jhin:passive]. His 4th shot does bonus damage based on missing health, so triumph give you and extra oomph finishing people.
-2:
Hunter Titan
Hunter titan gives you more health for every unique takedown, and as an adc well health is very valuable needless to say.
-3:
Sweet Tooth
sweet tooth is a no brained pick, more healing and more gold. Basically every adc runs it unless they go manamune as an item.
The idea behind these runes is poking and sustaining. With
Fleet Footwork
you can poke them hard and heal off of it and you get a ton of teamfight potential when you snowball! Hunter titan
Hunter Titan
makes this snowball even stronger later as you become harder to kill with
Triumph
on top of it!

-This is your basic trade combo, the thing with jhin is you don’t exactly combo a lot so if your in a basic 2v2 this is the main one you worry about. You wanna set up an easy 4th shot

Why you should play jhin!
There’s many reasons to play
Jhin
and I personally heavily recommend it right now. With right set up with his
Dancing Grenade
and
Deadly Flourish
you can be extremely deadly and a threat that can be unstoppable! He’s a strong early game option and he’s worth taking the time so I recommend picking him up if you wish to have a solid early game champ like
Jhin
!
Ultimate usage
I feel like I have to have an entire section dedicated to his most interesting ability, Curtain call
Curtain Call
. This ultimate
Curtain Call
can be very difficult to set up but can be the defining factor to win a fight. So let’s talk about curtain call
Curtain Call
uses!
Use 1 - Finishing off enemies
Now if you want to finish someone off first take the enemy into consideration. Do they have stasis up? Do they have heal or barrier up? What champ are they ? If they are playing someone with high mobility like
Lucian
or shielding like
Lulu
then chances are you won’t kill. However if you can see a clear shot to kill then go for it!
use 2 - area control
Curtain Call
gives your area away with how it opens up, however you can utilize it to scare off enemies and control a zone. Say an enemy is taking dragon? Set up
Curtain Call
and you threaten being able to steal dragon or kill the jungle and set up the team. It’s something that takes time to nail down but it’s important!
use 3 - teamfighting
Jhin
falls behind his usually very mobile teammates so you can utilize curtain call
Curtain Call
to snipe from far away! Say your akali
Akali
and
Xin Zhao
dash in ahead of you and you can catch up. Find a good position and
Curtain Call
to snip from far away and set up huge damage. Your 4th shot in it also does bonus damage off of missing health so you can utilize that to secure kills!
Lwhat happens if enemies escape my ult
Curtain Call
?”
Well the best thing you can do is clear the waves with it.
Curtain Call
melts through waves so you can use it to finish off waves coming in if all enemies escape!
Low elo
I don’t recommend
Jhin
anywhere under gold 2. He’s a very difficult champ to play around and hell I find emerald players fail to play around him. So if you wish to play
Jhin
but need to grind I recommend spamming
Ezreal
as even doe he’s not that simple, he’s very strong and people know how to play around him.
