Jinx Counter Guide

Laning Phase:

  • Stay outside minion waves to avoid splash damage from Rocket Q
  • Punish when she's alone, as she relies on support to snowball
  • Exploit her vulnerability when E (trap) is on cooldown
  • Most vulnerable to ganks without Flash

Team Fight Strategy:

  • Spread out to minimize Rocket Q AOE damage
  • Lock her down with CC before she gets "Get Excited!" passive
  • Focus her immediately in fights to prevent free backline damage
  • Watch for cross-map Ultimate (R) snipes during objectives

Power Spikes:

  • Level 6: Global ultimate threat
  • Level 9: Q max complete, strong extended trades
  • Major spike at core items (Infinity Edge + 2 Zeal items)

Best Counters:

  1. Veigar
  2. Swain
  3. Hwei
  4. Draven
  5. Ziggs

Warning Signs:

  • Keep HP high near objectives to avoid R executes
  • Track her Ultimate cooldown and warn other lanes
  • Watch for objective steals with R (Dragon/Baron)

Tips:

  • Engage quickly when spotted to prevent free damage
  • Consider early defensive items if behind
  • Pick strong early game champions to delay her scaling
  • Coordinate CC with team to ensure lockdown
