Jhin vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Anivia's low mobility and slow waveclear with fourth-shot burst trades.
Jhin wins short trades and lane pressure by holding fourth shot for CS punish windows against Anivia's farming.
Anivia scales well but lacks early agency; Jhin should use wave states that enable (Q) bounce and support setup to control tempo.

Trading pattern

Punish Anivia when she walks up for cannon or melee minion last hits with empowered fourth shot autos.
Only take trades when your support cannot be immediately engaged or zoned by Anivia's setup to avoid losing HP.
Use (W) to root targets marked by your support's CC or trap damage for reliable burst trades.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (W) terrain blocking when enemy support controls brush or engage zone.
Avoid trading when fourth shot is spent and you are reloading, as Anivia can force extended DPS fights.
Be cautious stepping forward when (R) is active, as it slows and zones, enabling follow-up CC from support.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave and hold it near your side to enable (Q) bounce through low-health minions.
Track (Q) cooldown to step up and punish her last-hit attempts when her stun is down.
Avoid pushing without traps or support coverage to prevent getting caught by (W) terrain and (Q) stun setup.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready: hold it to punish Anivia's exposed CS attempts and force health leads.
Level 6 (R) unlocks long-range execute to zone Anivia off recalls and dragon exits after poke trades.
First completed damage item strengthens fourth-shot trades, making it harder for Anivia to contest last hits safely.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot punish windows into recalls or plate damage by forcing Anivia off the wave.
Use traps and (R) to control dragon entrances and force predictable retreat paths for picks.
Leverage lane health leads and item spikes to pressure Anivia under tower before objectives and secure teamfight DPS access.
