Jhin vs Veigar

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jhin's fourth-shot last-hit punish against Veigar's forced CS approach.
Jhin wins short trades and controls wave priority, while Veigar scales for late burst but lacks early agency.
Hold the wave thin to maximize (Q) bounce and set up (W) roots with support or traps.

Trading pattern

Punish Veigar when he steps forward for melee or cannon minions with fourth-shot autos and (Q) bounce damage.
Only commit to (W) root follow-ups when Veigar is marked by support CC or trap damage to ensure a reliable root.
Avoid extended auto trades during reload windows or when (E) cage is available to punish your positioning.

Danger windows

(E) cage creates a dangerous zone for trades and can set up lethal burst if caught inside.
Avoid stepping up when (E) is available and support can immediately follow for engage.
Reload windows expose Jhin to all-in threats if support peel or trap coverage is absent.

Early game

Use first three waves to hold a thin wave and punish Veigar's last hits with empowered fourth shots.
Avoid pushing early to deny Veigar safe stacking and bait his (E) cage away from minion paths.
Track (E) cooldown to step up for CS only when cage is down and support threat is low.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready creates a strong burst window to force Veigar off low-health minions and deny farm.
Level 6 (R) adds long-range execute pressure to punish Veigar's low-health recalls or forced retreats.
First completed damage item strengthens fourth-shot threat, enabling safer lane control and punishes.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot pressure and (W) root setups into lane health leads and forced Veigar recalls.
Use wave control and trap zones to deny Veigar safe stacking and scale, enabling dragon and plate control.
Leverage level 6 (R) executes and item spikes to zone Veigar during objective fights and teamfights.
