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

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.
