Jinx is a high-damage ADC who excels at scaling into the late game. Here's the optimal build and strategy for success:

Core Build:

• First Item: Yun Tal Wildarrows
• Boots: Berserker's Greaves
• Core Items: Infinity Edge > Runaan's Hurricane > Lord Dominik's Regards > Bloodthirster

Runes:

• Primary: Lethal Tempo, Presence of Mind, Legend: Bloodline, Coup de Grace
• Secondary: Absolute Focus, Gathering Storm
• Shards: Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, Health Scaling

Summoner Spells:

• Flash
• Barrier

Skill Order: Q > W > E

Key Tips:

• Chain CC with your support using E (Flame Chompers)
• Place E directly under yourself when enemies engage
• Use R to snipe low-health enemies in other lanes
• Focus on farming safely early and scale for late game

Strong Against:

• Kalista (53.8% WR)
• Kai'Sa (53.7% WR)
• Samira (53.6% WR)

Weak Against:

• Ziggs (46.2% WR)
• Veigar (46.5% WR)
• Swain (46.8% WR)

Best Supports:

• Braum (53.9% WR)
• Taric (53.8% WR)
• Galio (53.7% WR)

Alternative Build: Replace Yun Tal Wildarrows with Kraken Slayer and Bloodthirster with Guardian Angel for more survivability (54.5% WR).

Off-Meta Build: Same items but with Press the Attack keystone instead of Lethal Tempo (56.6% WR in select matchups).
