Jinx Strengths

  • High attack and movement speed once her passive triggers.
  • Long-range AoE damage from the Rocket Launcher at a safe distance.
  • Map-wide kill secure potential with her global Ult.

Jinx Weaknesses

  • ×Low self-peel due to having no escape abilities
  • ×Weak early game that needs time and items to scale
  • ×Needs a takedown to trigger her passive before her real damage comes online

Early Game

Use the long range of your Rocket Launcher (Skill 1) to poke safely and keep farming. You are vulnerable to ganks, so manage the wave and avoid overextending.

Mid Game

Trigger your passive with tower takedowns or kills and assists, then press the advantage. Layer your Skill 3 traps on top of allied CC in a CC chain so the target cannot get away.

Late Game

A full-build Jinx has some of the highest DPS among ADCs. Once your passive procs, you can push the fight to a finish, so work with your team to secure that first takedown.

Teamfights

Stay behind your frontline and melt the closest targets first. The moment your passive procs, move forward and chase down the fleeing enemies to finish the fight.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Staying in Rocket Launcher form at close range

Keeping the Rocket Launcher out while a bruiser or assassin is on top of you is a mistake. Its lower attack speed drops your DPS. Switch to the Minigun right away for the attack speed buff and kite them in close fights or against a single target.

Jinx Combos

Basic Harass

Poke at long range with the rocket launcher, slow with Skill 2, then swap to the minigun.

Jinx Patch History

Jinx
JinxPatch 7.2c
Buff
Base Stats Base AD: 54 → 58 Get Excited! Attack Speed: 12% → 25% Jinx was still falling behind even after the crit items were buffed, so she gets help on both ends. The extra 4 base AD steadies her lane trades and her last-hitting, while the near-doubled attack speed on Get Excited! makes her follow-up after a takedown far more dangerous. One kill in a teamfight now often carries straight into the next.
Jinx
JinxPatch 6.3f
Buff
Q Rocket damage ratio: increased This gives Jinx back through her kit what the item changes took away. The higher ratio on the rocket form pays off most when several enemies are packed together, so hitting the whole group is worth more than it used to be. It also makes standing off at range and chipping away at a contested objective a more reasonable way to spend the fight.
