Jinx tips:

  • Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.
  • Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.
  • When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.

Playing Against Tristana

  • If you see Tristana activate Rapid Fire in a fight, stun her and try to back off until the spell dissipates.
  • Stand away from your creeps in a lane to take less collateral damage from Explosive Charge.
