Hwei vs Jhin

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Hwei wins by using long-range poke and (E) CC to control Jhin's short-trade windows.
Punish Jhin's fourth-shot last-hit attempts by stepping up with poke when support threat is low.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or poke Jhin when he commits to cannon or melee minion last hits and support threat is minimal.
Use (E) CC to interrupt Jhin's root setup and avoid his empowered fourth shot trades.
Avoid trading when Jhin's fourth shot is ready and support controls brush or engage zones.

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot when contesting last hits, as it punishes stepping up.
Avoid trading when (W) root is ready and his support can follow up immediately.
Be cautious when (R) is available to punish low-health recalls or retreat paths near objectives.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave and deny Jhin clean (Q) bounce angles.
Hold (E) defensive CC to counter Jhin's root follow-up from (W) when support cooldowns are available.
Position to punish Jhin's last hits on low-health minions only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for all-in picks or defensive resets; track its availability to time aggression.
First completed mage item boosts Hwei's poke and wave control, making earlier trades more threatening.
Level 3 grants full spellbook options; use this to adapt (E) for poke, shield, or CC depending on Jhin's engage.

Win conditions

Convert poke and CC pressure into lane priority to deny Jhin safe farming and force recalls.
Use lane control to crash waves for turret plates and set up dragon vision and objective control.
Leverage level 6 (R) and first item spikes to secure picks or force Jhin under turret before teamfights.
