Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Jhin wins short trades by punishing Ziggs's last-hit attempts with fourth shot and (Q) bounce damage.
Hold the wave thin to create low-health minions for (Q) to bounce onto Ziggs and enable strong poke windows.

Trading pattern

Punish Ziggs when he walks up for cannon or melee minion last hits with empowered fourth shot autos.
Only take last-hit punishes if enemy support cannot immediately trade back or zone you from stepping forward.
Hold (W) to root targets marked by your support CC or trap damage rather than using it blindly.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping forward when (W) displacement is available to prevent forced disengages or turret executes.
Respect (Q) poke cooldown; stepping up during its uptime risks heavy damage.
Beware of Ziggs's level 6 (R) window punishing low-health targets retreating through predictable paths.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave near your side and prepare fourth-shot punishes on Ziggs's CS attempts.
Track (Q) cooldown to step up safely for last hits when poke is down.
Avoid pushing without trap or support coverage to reduce risk from Ziggs's poke and (W) displacement.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready: use it to force Ziggs off low-value CS and win short burst trades.
Level 6 (R) unlocks long-range execute; use it to punish low-health recalls or forced retreats.
First completed damage item strengthens fourth-shot threat; use this to convert health leads into recalls or plates.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot punishments and (Q) bounce damage into health leads to force Ziggs off the wave.
Use traps and (W) root follow-ups with your support to secure kills and objective control around dragon.
Leverage level 6 (R) to deny Ziggs safe recalls and zone during objective fights, increasing your team's tempo and turret pressure.
