Jinx

General Laning Tips

  • 1.Stack blight with auto-attacks then pop all three stacks with an ability for percent health damage.
  • 2.Charge Q for maximum range poke to chunk enemies before fights begin.
  • 3.Use R in teamfights to root the first target hit and spread chains to nearby enemies.
