Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Jhin's fourth shot when he steps up for cannon or melee minions.
Anivia benefits from thinned waves to land (Q) stun combos and zone Jhin with (R).
Jhin wins short burst trades with fourth shot, but Anivia controls extended trades and wave pressure.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin's last-hit attempts on cannon or melee minions with (Q)+(E) combo when his fourth shot is ready and support can't trade back.
Use (W) to block Jhin's path and force him into (Q) stun for reliable trades.
Avoid extended trades after Jhin expends his fourth shot or when enemy support controls engage zones.

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot when contesting cannon or melee minions to avoid burst trades.
Avoid stepping into brush or river control zones when enemy support can follow with CC enabling (W) root.
Be cautious when (R) is available after support CC or trap setups, as it punishes low-health retreat paths.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave and deny Jhin clean fourth-shot punish windows.
Hold (Q) to punish Jhin when he walks up for low-health caster or cannon minions if support threat is low.
Position near your support and avoid stepping into brush if enemy support can immediately follow trades.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, (R) zoning denies Jhin safe recalls and forces fights on your terms.
Jhin's fourth shot ready creates a strong punish window on your last hits; respect this to avoid burst trades.
Jhin's level 6 (R) adds long-range execute pressure; avoid low-health predictable retreat paths to dodge it.

Win conditions

Convert lane pressure into CS leads by punishing Jhin's fourth shot windows and forcing him off cannon minions.
Use (R) zoning post-level 6 to deny Jhin safe recalls and secure dragon setups.
Scale into teamfights where Anivia's control and zone denial outmatch Jhin's burst and pick attempts.
