Jhin
Champions that beat Jhin
- Amumusupport
Jhin has no dash and Captive Audience (E) traps are a setup tool, not an escape. Bandage Toss (Q) 1100-range pull lands clean during his Whisper reload windows, then Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) keeps him locked while your ADC walks up unhindered.
- Braumsupport
Jhin has no dash and Captive Audience (E) traps are setup, not escape. Winter's Bite (Q) lands during the Whisper reload windup, and Stand Behind Me (W) blocks Curtain Call (R) shots while ADC autos chain the 4-stack stun.
- Dravenbot
Spinning Axe (Q) stacks turn every Draven auto into double damage during Jhin's reload frame. Blood Rush (W) speed boost dodges Dancing Grenade (Q) bounces, and Stand Aside (E) knock-aside cancels Curtain Call (R) channel before the 4th shot lands.
- Galiosupport
Jhin has no dash, and Curtain Call (R) requires him to root-channel — a perfect window for Hero's Entrance (R) knockup. Captive Audience (E) traps lose value if Galio dives over them through the R landing path.
- Hweisupport
Subject: Torment (E) root and Subject: Disaster (Q) zone connect cleanly because Jhin has no gap-closer to interrupt the channel. Curtain Call (R) channel is rooted by the eye lock, and Captive Audience (E) traps are bypassed by Hwei kiting at range.
- Jannasupport
Tailwind (P) plus Eye of the Storm (E) shield plus Ardent Censer turn the stationary marksman into a peel-fortress; she boosts Dancing Grenade (Q) damage and Move Speed without needing to reposition. Curtain Call (R) channel benefits from Monsoon (R) disengage.
- Jinxbot
Jhin's 4-shot Whisper (P) cycle leaves long reload frames Jinx exploits with rocket Q AOE through Runaan's Hurricane. Curtain Call (R) channel is interrupted by Flame Chompers (E) traps from Get Excited! (P) repositioning,
- Kai'Sabot
Supercharge (E) speed and invisibility dodges Deadly Flourish (W) root and interrupts Curtain Call (R) channel. Killer Instinct (R) dash closes the lane gap during reload frames and Second Skin (P) stacks chunk Jhin before he can finish a 4-shot cycle.
- Leonasupport
Jhin's Whisper (P) 4-shot reload cycle leaves long vulnerability frames — Zenith Blade (E) lands during reload and Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun chains the Sunlight (P) burst. Curtain Call (R) channel is interrupted by Solar Flare (R) AOE stun mid-cast.
- Lulusupport
Ardent Censer plus Whimsy (W) ally-cast gives Jhin bonus Attack Speed to load Whisper (P) shots faster between reload windows. Help, Pix! (E) shield buffers Deadly Flourish (W) root setup and Wild Growth (R) knock-up peels divers off Curtain Call (R) channel.
- Maokaisupport
Nature's Grasp (R) Flash plus R cheese from fog ignores Jhin's positioning and Whisper (P) reload window leaves him stationary. Deadly Flourish (W) root cannot trigger under Twisted Advance (W) lock and Curtain Call (R) channel breaks under Sap Magic (P) pressure.
- Miliosupport
Cozy Campfire (W) Attack Range bonus turns Jhin into an artillery platform — Whisper (P) fourth-shot crit fires from outside enemy range. Warm Hugs (E) shields buffer Deadly Flourish (W) cast windows and Breath of Life (R) cleanses any engage so Curtain Call (R) can finish
- Namisupport
Tidecaller's Blessing (E) plus Surging Tides (P) plus Ardent Censer turn Jhin into a poke machine — every empowered Whisper (P) auto deals bonus damage and slows. Aqua Prison (Q) stuns enemies stepping into Deadly Flourish (W) range so Jhin can land Curtain Call (R) from safety.
- Nautilussupport
Jhin lacks a reliable dash to dodge Dredge Line (Q) hook at level 2-3 — once Nautilus clears the wave priority he walks up, hooks Jhin, and forces a Flash or a kill. Whisper (P) reload window leaves him stationary and Curtain Call (R) channel breaks under Staggering Blow (P).
- Samirabot
Daredevil Impulse (P) stacks combo damage during Jhin's reload frames, and Blade Whirl (W) blocks every Curtain Call (R) shot entirely. Wild Rush (E) dashes onto Jhin during reload and Inferno Trigger (R) shreds him at point-blank with no escape option.
- Sonasupport
Jhin's Whisper passive scales damage on bonus AD and Dancing Grenade (Q) bounces between targets, but he is immobile with no dash. Hymn of Valor (Q) empowers his next auto with on-hit damage and Aria of Perseverance (W) heal-shields him through trades for free.
- Sorakasupport
Whisper passive scales on bonus AD and Dancing Grenade (Q) bounces between targets, but he has no dash and the 4-shot reload is predictable. Astral Infusion (W) heals through the Captive Audience (E) lotus mine zoning, and Equinox (E) silence breaks Curtain Call (R) channel.
- Tristanabot
Rocket Jump (W) sidesteps Deadly Flourish (W) skillshot and lands a fresh Explosive Charge (E) detonation on Jhin during reload frames. Buster Shot (R) knocks Jhin out of Curtain Call (R) channel and Draw a Bead (P) range scales past Jhin's auto range late.
- Vaynebot
Tumble (Q) sidesteps Dancing Grenade (Q) bounces and Final Hour (R) invisibility breaks Curtain Call (R) lock-on mid-channel. Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds Jhin's no-armor frame and Condemn (E) wall-stuns him during reload.
- Vijungle
Vault Breaker (Q) charge plus Cease and Desist (R) closes the gap before Jhin can kite away during his reload window, where Whisper passive forces him to stand still. Curtain Call (R) channel breaks under the knock-up and Captive Audience (E) traps cannot block the unstoppable
- Xin Zhaojungle
Wind Becomes Lightning W slows Jhin while Audacious Charge E closes the gap from extended Challenged range. Captive Audience W traps are short-range zoning, not escape, and Curtain Call R roots Jhin in place at exactly the moment Xin Zhao R isolation lands.
- Yasuomid
Wind Wall W blocks Dancing Grenade Q poke, Deadly Flourish W root, and Curtain Call R ultimate sniper bullets. Jhin has no dash and Captive Audience E traps are short zoning, so once Yasuo gets Sweeping Blade onto him the trade is over fast.
- Yuumisupport
Zoomies E hands attack speed and move speed to the Attached ally, and Ardent Censer scales the shield buff into bonus on-hit damage. Jhin's Whisper passive crit autos plus the fourth-shot execute scale linearly with Yuumi's empowered on-hit buff every fight.
Champions Jhin beats
- Ashebot
Volley (W) slow and Ranger's Focus (Q) attack-speed window need Ashe to stand still — Deadly Flourish (W) roots her during the Q channel for a 4th-shot crit kill. Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) telegraph is sidestepped behind a minion at long range.
- Ezrealbot
Jhin's level 1-3 trade pattern outdamages Ezreal before he stacks Rising Spell Force (P). Whisper (P) crit fourth shot plus Dancing Grenade (Q) bounce frontload more burst than Mystic Shot (Q) refunds, and Captive Audience (E) zones his Arcane Shift (E).
- Kalistabot
Martial Poise (P) hops keep Kalista in melee range — Deadly Flourish (W) roots her on the second slow tick from outside her auto range, and Pierce (Q) cast is interrupted by the root. Curtain Call (R) finishes her before Rend (E) spear stacks can convert into kills.
- Kog'Mawbot
Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) is a static window with no mobility, and Caustic Spittle (Q) is point-blank. Jhin's Dancing Grenade (Q) and AA range out-trade Living Artillery (R) poke,
- Sivirbot
Boomerang Blade (Q) and Ricochet (W) both want short range. Jhin Deadly Flourish (W) roots from outside Sivir's auto range, and the 4th-shot crit finishes through Spell Shield (E) since the shield only blocks one ability — the auto-attack burst comes after.
- Varusbot
Piercing Arrow (Q) charge locks Varus in place — Jhin Dancing Grenade (Q) bounces from outside the charge window and Deadly Flourish (W) roots him through the immobile cast. Chain of Corruption (R) telegraph is dodged on Curtain Call (R) repositioning.
- Xayahbot
Jhin Whisper passive guaranteed crit on the fourth shot and Dancing Grenade (Q) bounce out-range Xayah Double Daggers (Q) 525 auto window. She gets poked off the wave before she can stack three Feathers on the carry and Curtain Call (R) snipes her from across the screen.
