Proper positioning will be an extremely important factor when playing Jinx due to her immobility making her more susceptible to Assassins or other enemies looking to dive onto targets with high burst damage. However, if executed properly, Jinx can potentially reach the highest DPS out of all Marksman in team fights during the late game due to her AOE Critical Damage from her rockets!
Jinx’s Passive Ability
When Jinx scores a kill or assist on an enemy player or takes down an enemy structure, she gains a burst of Movement and Attack Speed, which can exceed the Attack Speed cap. This Passive is one of the things that makes Jinxas deadly as she isbecause it increases her damage output and survivability significantly. Being able to kite or chase enemies down while attacking much faster allows her to turn the tides of battle.
Jinx’s Q Ability
Jinx’s Q has two forms to it with different effects. The base form ofQ (Gatling Gun)increases her Attack Speed with each consecutive auto-attack, stacking up to three times. The other form ofQ (Rocket Launcher)increases her Attack Range and slightly slows her Attack Speed, in exchangefor slightly higher damagewith an AOE effect. Knowing which form to use and when is vital for success with Jinx.

Players are best off using the base form of Q when they’re fighting an isolated target or want to take down a single target swiftly. Whereas if it may be too dangerous to get closer to the enemy or there are multiple enemies close to one another, the other form of Q will find more success here.
Jinx’s W Ability
Jinx’s W Ability shoots a linear laser beam that does Physical Damage, slows the target, and can reveal them if they’re out of vision (in a bush or standing behind certain terrain). This skill is great for poking down enemies or scouting areas that enemies may be hiding inwithout endangering anyoneon the player’s team.
It is also helpful to help chase down or kite enemies since they will be slowed down or can even be used to set up an easy-to-land Ultimate Ability since the enemy will be too slowed to dodge.
Jinx’s E Ability
Jinx’s E ability throws out three snare grenades in a linear path that Roots any targets that walk through them and deals Magic Damage to them. This skill isvery useful for zone control, in certain areas of terrain or can be used to help kite enemies.
Near the Dragon or Baron pit, it can be used to cut off the entrances/exits to the enemy jungle, making it harder for them to contest players' teammates when taking down Neutral Objectives. Enemies will have to decide between waiting for the grenades to disappear, taking a long way around, or getting snared and taking damage from Jinx and other allies.
Jinx’s Ultimate Ability
Jinx’s Ultimate Ability shoots out a large rocket in a linear path that has infinite range and does AOE Physical Damage. The longer the rocket travels before impact, the more damage it deals. This ability is greatfor executing fleeing targetsor can just be used to severely damage enemies that are partially damaged in a team fight.
