Jinx stands as a powerful marksman with a 55.3% win rate across 16,264 matches. Here's the optimal build and strategy guide:

Core Build:

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

Optimal Runes:

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

Skill Order: Q > W > E

Key Tips:

  1. Chain CC with support by timing your E (Flame Chompers) with their crowd control
  2. Use ultimate to snipe low-health enemies in other lanes
  3. Place E directly under yourself when enemies engage for optimal zone control

Strong Against:

  • Zeri (53.2% WR)
  • Kai'Sa (53.1% WR)
  • Smolder (53.1% WR)
  • Sivir (52.9% WR)

Weak Against:

  • Veigar (42.9% WR)
  • Swain (45.7% WR)
  • Hwei (47.1% WR)
  • Ziggs (47.9% WR)

Best Support Synergies:

  • Taric (56.0% WR)
  • Zyra (54.5% WR)
  • Vel'Koz (54.5% WR)
  • Maokai (53.3% WR)

Alternative Build Option (54.5% WR):

  • Core: Kraken Slayer > Berserker's Greaves > Infinity Edge
  • Final Items: Runaan's Hurricane, Lord Dominik's Regards, Guardian Angel

Off-Meta Build (56.6% WR):

  • Same item build as core but with Press the Attack keystone instead of Lethal Tempo

Adjust your build based on matchup and team composition, especially defensive stats in rune shards depending on lane opponent damage type.
