Jhin vs Samira

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jhin's fourth shot punishing Samira's close CS attempts due to her short range.
Jhin wins short trades and wave states with low minions for (Q) bounce pressure; Samira thrives in messy all-ins with support engage.
Control the wave near your side to limit Samira's dash windows and force her into vulnerable last-hit positions.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) bounce when Samira commits to melee or cannon minions with fourth shot ready.
Hold (W) to root Samira only after support CC, poke, or trap damage marks her.
Avoid trades when fourth shot is spent or (W) is up to block your poke and enable her all-in.

Danger windows

Samira plus support CC enable her (E) dash resets; avoid stepping forward when (W) is available to block your poke.
Avoid trades when Samira's support controls brush or can immediately follow your punish attempts.
Reload windows reduce your burst threat; respect enemy engage potential especially if (W) or (E) are ready.

Early game

Use the first three waves to keep the wave thin, denying Samira clean dash resets.
Punish Samira's last hits when she steps up with fourth shot ready and support is not threatening.
Watch for support positioning in brush; avoid punishing if enemy support controls engage zones.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready creates a strong last-hit punish window; hold it for cannon or melee minions.
Level 6 (R) adds long-range execute; use it to punish low-health recalls or forced retreat paths.
First completed damage item strengthens fourth-shot burst; leverage this to force recalls or secure plates.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot punish windows into health leads, then crash waves to force Samira off farm.
Use traps and (R) to zone Samira during dragon setups and objective fights.
Leverage item spikes and support-root follow-ups to secure kills, plates, and lane priority for mid-game control.
