Hwei vs Jinx

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Hwei's ability to control space with long-range poke and crowd control (E).
Hwei wins short trades by punishing Jinx's last-hit approach and controlling wave priority early.
Jinx scales better into late game, so Hwei must deny free farm and force recalls before her item spikes.

Trading pattern

Hit Jinx during her last-hit animations on caster minions when enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Use (E) root or fear to disrupt Jinx's approach and prevent her from safely using rockets for poke.
Avoid punishing if enemy support controls brush or can follow instantly to prevent losing HP for one auto.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root combined with support CC for engage paths through brush or narrow wave gaps.
Avoid stepping forward when Jinx has rocket ammo ready for splash poke on grouped minions near you.
Beware of (R) execute window after she reaches two items and can reset movement speed in fights.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to thin waves with (Q) and hold (E) crowd control for enemy engage attempts.
Punish Jinx stepping up for low-health caster minions when support threat is minimal.
Avoid pushing past river without vision to reduce risk of support engage and trap setups.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for Hwei, enabling all-in setups or defensive resets; track this to time trades.
First completed mage item boosts Hwei's poke and wave control, forcing Jinx to respect longer trades.
Level 3 grants full spellbook options; use this flexibility to adapt (E) for defense or poke depending on Jinx's engage windows.

Win conditions

Convert poke and crowd control into CS leads by forcing Jinx off waves and denying safe last hits.
Use wave crashes timed with Jinx's lack of reset or (E) cooldown to pressure turret plates and dragon setup.
Leverage level 6 (R) all-ins or defensive resets to secure kills or force Jinx recalls before her item spikes.
