Best Support Synergies:

  • Galio (55.8% WR)
  • Taric (55.4% WR)
  • Vel'Koz (54.4% WR)
  • Poppy (53.7% WR)
  • Zyra (53.5% WR)
  • Braum (53.2% WR)

Key Tips and Tricks:

  1. Coordinate your Flame Chompers (E) with your support's CC for maximum chain-CC effectiveness
  2. Use Super Mega Death Rocket (R) to secure kills in other lanes when opportunities arise
  3. Place Flame Chompers (E) directly under yourself when enemies engage, forcing them to either walk into them or disengage

Pro Tip: Flame Chompers are most effective when used defensively rather than offensively, as they need time to arm and can be easily avoided when thrown at enemies directly.

Advanced Strategies:

  • Utilize rocket form in teamfights for AOE damage and increased range
  • Switch to minigun for single-target DPS and tower pushing
  • Position behind your frontline to maximize your safety while dealing consistent damage

These strategies should help you improve your Jinx gameplay and climb more effectively in ranked matches.
