How to play

General
  1. You build Lethality and play like AD caster.
  2. If an enemy team is full of tanks or bruisers, rush Serylda's Grudge or even Lord Dominik's Regards early (sometimes even #2). Black Cleaver is also an alternative. The key is to adapt to the enemy team.
  3. With this build, your primary source of damage is going to be abilities. Use Q and W!
  4. Auto attack and count! Even with AD and Lethality items, your autoattacks are quite powerful. Every 4th shot is basically execute, that scales off with enemy missing health.
  5. You can rush Axiom Arc if you want to make this build ult-centric!

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Your fourth shot is powerful execute. Early on, save Jhin 4th shot for harass or even kill.
  2. Before using Ultimate, you can place traps before you, so enemies will have a hard time getting to you in time.
  3. Simple combo: place trap and wait for the enemy to come, then W him, this way he takes tons of damage.
  4. Harder combo: traps stack, you can place multiple in one spot and wait for an enemy with W.
  5. You can use traps for bush control. You can also use them to annoy enemy team - when enemies are under turret, put traps in minions weaves to trigger them, or behind turret.
  6. Slow enemy push by placing traps on the minions' path.
  7. Do not wait for 'special moment' and just use R on the enemy team when possible!
Riot
  1. Deadly Flourish has incredible range. When approaching a fight be sure to look ahead for enemies that could be rooted.
  2. Your ultimate deals significantly less damage to enemies with full health. Look to pick off weakened targets as they run away.
  3. You can still cast your spells while reloading. Use them to fill the down time.
