How it works

General
  1. You build Attack Damage and Lethality to boost damage from your abilities.
  2. You rush Axiom Arc to reduce cooldown of your ultimate, so you can use it more often.
  3. You try to make the most of your First Strike procs to earn gold and deal damage.
  4. The easier version of this build is to take Dark Harvest instead of First Strike.

How to play

General
  1. This is a specialization of regular Lethality Jinx build that is all about big ults and ulting very often, thanks to Axiom Arc.
  2. Build Axiom Arc first, follow up with Mythic Item, then with Lethality/AD items.
  3. It is okay to not buy boots, or to sell them in the late game. Use 6th slot for more Lethality! You are covered with Ghost.
  4. Since 14.1 Boots become even more optional, since you can get Youmuu's Ghostblade!
  5. Wait for First Strike and proc it with your combo, to deal damage and earn gold.
  6. Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
  7. This build (spamming W) is very mana hungry. Prepare for it with runes and items!
  8. With enough CDR (item haste) you can kill people with just spamming W - as your slow effect will have 100% uptime.

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.
  2. Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.
  3. When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.
