How to Beat Caitlyn as Jhin (ADC)

While statistically Jhin is slightly stronger than Caitlyn as ADC, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Jhin deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Caitlyn deals mainly physical damage (93.51%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Caitlyn, ranking 11th (versus 28th for Jhin) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Jhin ADC versus Caitlyn ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Jhin player to maintain constant pressure on Caitlyn, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Jhin tips:

  • Deadly Flourish has incredible range. When approaching a fight be sure to look ahead for enemies that could be rooted.
  • Your ultimate deals significantly less damage to enemies with full health. Look to pick off weakened targets as they run away.
  • You can still cast your spells while reloading. Use them to fill the down time.

Playing Against Caitlyn

  • Keep behind allied minions if Caitlyn is harassing you with Piltover Peacemaker (it deals less damage with each subsequent target).
  • You can intercept Ace in the Hole's missile from hitting an ally if you stand in its path.
