Best Runes for Jhin
What skill build is good?
As summoner spell, you take Flash and adjust the second one based on the enemy team and your supporter. Other options are: Exhaust, Ghost, Cleanse, or Heal.
By far the most popular rune setup for Jhin can be found here.
Skill Order: R>Q>W>E
Your most important skill is your Q ability. You use it for farming and to poke your opponents. Then follows your W and finally your E ability.
One option is to start putting your first point into the E ability only at level 5.
What items should you buy?
- Mythic: Galeforce was for a long time THE Mythic item for Jhin. It is still very good on him, but another strong option is Youmuu’s Ghostblade and a more lethality-focused build or Infinity Edge for the really nasty critical hits.
- Shoes: Almost always Boots of Mobility. There are very few situations where other shoes are more suitable.
- Stormrazor: One of Jhin’s most important items. Many even build it first.
- Rapid Firecannon: Gives you more range on your first shot, which deals even more damage in conjunction with Stormrazor.
- The Collector: There’s nothing worse than when an opponent has a sliver of health left after your fourth shot and can escape. This item ensures that this happens much less frequently.
- Lord Dominik’s Regards: Against champions who can take a lot of damage, you can’t go wrong with Lord Dominik’s.
3 quick tips for Jhin
- Try to hit minions with your grenade (Q) that have low health. Each time the grenade kills a target, it deals more damage to the next one.
- Always keep an eye on your ammo. If you need to reload, pull back.
- Remember that you stay stationary during your ultimate and are left helpless against assassins. So don’t just pay attention to the enemies you want to catch with your ultimate.
As Jhin, you are capable of dealing incredibly high damage but are also extremely reliant on your positioning since you have no dashes or anything similar.
