Ability details

  • Whisper

    Jhin's hand cannon, Whisper, is a precise instrument designed to deal superior damage. It fires at a fixed rate and carries only four shots. Jhin imbues the final bullet with dark magics to critically strike and deal bonus execute damage. Whenever Whisper crits, it inspires Jhin with a burst of Move Speed.

    Passive — never cast

  • Dancing Grenade

    Jhin launches a magical cartridge at an enemy. It can hit up to four targets and gains damage each time it kills.

    Cost 40/45/50/55/60 ManaCooldown 7/6.5/6/5.5/5sRange 550

  • Deadly Flourish

    Jhin brandishes his cane, firing a single shot with incredible range. It pierces through minions and monsters, but stops on the first champion hit. If the target was recently struck by Jhin's allies, lotus traps, or damaged by Jhin, they are rooted.

    Cost 50/55/60/65/70 ManaCooldown 12sRange 3000

  • Captive Audience

    Jhin places an invisible lotus trap that blooms when walked over. It slows nearby enemies before dealing damage with an explosion of serrated petals. Beauty in Death - When Jhin kills an enemy champion, a lotus trap will bloom near their corpse.

    Cost 30 ManaCooldown 2sRange 750

  • Curtain Call

    Jhin channels, transforming Whisper into a shoulder-mounted mega-cannon. It is able to fire 4 super shots at extreme range that pierce through minions and monsters, but stop on the first champion impacted. Whisper cripples enemies hit, which slows them and deals execute damage. The 4th shot is perfectly crafted, epically powerful, and guaranteed to critically strike.

Counter plan — how to beat Jhin

  • Close the gap early — it wins at range and at three items — neither before ten minutes

  • Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip

  • Punish the cooldown — Jhin is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 6/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Methodology

Data window
512,340 games on patch 26.16, Ranked Solo/Duo, NA. Last refreshed 20 Aug 2026.
Rank aggregation
Emerald+ and above, pooled. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under the lanes it actually plays, not the one class it belongs to — which is why several appear in two.
Counters
A matchup, not a tier gap: how this champion does into that one specifically, over that pairing’s own games.
Minimum sample
The confidence indicator beside every rate is driven by how much of the window this champion appears in. A low reading means read the figure loosely, not that it is wrong.
Why a build is not a cause
The best-scoring build is the one the best-placed players happened to take. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying those items caused the wins.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, lanes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates are derived samples — Riot publishes none of them, and nothing on this page presents one as measured.
