Jhin Champion Abilities

Basic Attack

Jhin's hand cannon has a fixed attack speed and can be fired 4 times before needing to be reloaded. The 4th shot always critically strikes, and deals 15 / 20 / 25% of the target's missing health as physical damage.

In addition:
- Jhin gains 4−44% (+0.35% per 1% critical strike chance) (+0.3% per 1% bonus attack speed) attack damage as bonus attack damage.
- Jhin's critical strikes deal 14% less damage but grant him 14% (+0.4% per 1% bonus attack speed) movement speed for 2 seconds. P

Dancing Grenade

Jhin launches a cartridge that deals 44 / 69 / 94 / 119 / 144 (+60% of ability power) (+0.44 / 0.515 / 0.59 / 0.665 / 0.74% per attack damage) physical damage before bouncing to a nearby enemy that has not been hit yet.

The cartridge can hit a maximum of 4 times. Enemies that die shortly after being hit increase the damage of subsequent hits by 35%. Q

Deadly Flourish

Jhin fires a long range shot dealing 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 (+0.5 per attack damage) physical damage to the first champion hit, which is reduced by 25% against minions.

If this skill strikes a champion that has been damaged by an allied champion within the last 4 seconds, it will root them for 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25 seconds and grant Jhin Whisper's movement speed. W

Captive Audience

Passive: Champions Jhin kills will create and detonate a Lotus Trap at their location.

Active: Jhin places an invisible Lotus Trap for 3 minutes that creates a zone that slows by 35% when stepped on by an enemy. After 4 seconds, the trap detonates, dealing 20 / 80 / 140 / 200 / 260 (+100% of ability power) (+1.2 per attack damage) magic damage.

This ability has 2 charges. E

Curtain Call

Jhin sets up and channels, enabling him to fire 4 super shots, each dealing between 64 / 128 / 192 (+0.25 per attack damage) and 256 / 616 / 976 (+1.0 per attack damage) physical damage to the first champion hit depending on their percentage of missing health and slowing them by 80% for 0.5 seconds. The fourth shot critically strikes for 100% bonus physical damage. R

Jhin Tips and Tricks

Keep track of how much ammo you have left before engaging in fights. Avoid extended trades when you're low on ammo, as you'll be forced to reload mid-fight. Try to land your fourth shot on an enemy champion, as it deals significantly increased damage. When using your R, position yourself safely to avoid being caught by crowd control or burst damage while standing still.
