Jhin vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Jhin wins short trades by punishing Sivir's last-hit attempts with fourth shot and (Q) bounce damage.
Hold the wave thin to maximize (Q) bounce angles and force Sivir to respect your poke windows.

Trading pattern

Punish Sivir when she steps up for melee or cannon minion last hits if enemy support can't punish your step forward.
Use fourth shot on Sivir during her last-hit animation to win trades, especially when (W) can root after allied CC or trap damage.
Avoid trading when (E) is up, as it blocks your (W) root and negates your burst potential.

Danger windows

Avoid trading when (E) is available to block your (W) root or support poke.
Be cautious when enemy support controls brush or threat zone during your reload, as Sivir can all-in with (R) speed boost.
Respect (R) window for team movement; avoid overextending without vision or support cooldowns.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave and hold it near your turret to deny Sivir clean (W) angles.
At level 2, pair (W) with support CC to root Sivir after she steps for CS.
Avoid pushing too hard early to prevent Sivir from safely using (E) to block your key poke.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready: Use it to punish Sivir's CS attempts and force health leads before she can engage.
Level 6 (R): Use long-range execute to punish low-health Sivir retreating through dragon or river choke points.
First completed damage item: Your fourth shot and burst trades become harder for Sivir to absorb, increasing lane pressure.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot punishments into recall advantages and plate damage to build item leads.
Use traps and (R) to zone Sivir during dragon setups and force her into predictable paths.
Maintain wave control to deny (W) angles and force her to farm under turret, limiting her scaling potential.
