The Virtuoso Jhin is a unique ADC characterized by his fixed four-shot magazine and 2-second reload time. As a lane bully, he compensates for his limited shots with powerful burst damage and guaranteed critical hits on his fourth shot.

Core Abilities Overview

Dancing Grenade (Q)

  • Primary laning ability
  • Bounces to up to 3 additional targets
  • Each kill increases damage by 35%

Deadly Flourish (W)

  • Long-range catch potential
  • Marks enemies damaged by Jhin or allies
  • Root duration: 1-2 seconds on marked targets

Captive Audience (E)

  • Placeable traps that mark enemies
  • Deals magic damage on explosion
  • Ideal for brush control and choke points

Curtain Call (R)

  • Channel ability with four shots
  • 60° firing angle
  • Fourth shot guarantees critical hit
  • Reveals and slows hit enemies
  • Bonus damage based on missing health

Optimal Skill Order

  1. Prioritize Q (Dancing Grenade) for damage and waveclear
  2. Max W second for increased root duration (up to 2 seconds)
  3. Single point in E at level 4 for utility
  4. Level R whenever possible

Build Path

Starting Items:

  • Doran's Blade
  • Health Potion

Core Items:

  • Galeforce
  • The Collector
  • Infinity Edge
  • Lord Dominik's Regards

Alternative Options:

  • Bloodthirster (for sustain)
  • Guardian Angel (defensive)
  • Rapid Firecannon (range extension)

Key Strategy Jhin excels at burst damage and executing low-health targets with his fourth shot. Use Q for waveclear and trading, W for catch potential, and E for zone control. Ultimate is most effective for picking off fleeing enemies or initiating teamfights from a safe distance.
