Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jinx surviving poke and using (Q) rockets to contest clustered CS safely.
Jinx wins extended fights post-item spikes and wants slow pushes near her turret to kite safely.

Trading pattern

Punish Ziggs when he walks up for caster minions by landing autos plus (W) slow if enemy support can't trade back.
Only use (Q) rockets to poke when Ziggs and support are clustered near low-health minions to maximize splash damage.
Avoid extended trades if enemy support controls brush or can immediately engage after your step forward.

Danger windows

Respect (W) displacement cooldown as it enables turret executes and disengage from your engages.
Avoid stepping into (E) minefield zones, especially when support can follow up for a kill.
Be cautious when enemy support controls brush or zone engage paths, denying your last-hit punish windows.

Early game

Hold the wave near your side to punish Ziggs's last-hit attempts with (Q) splash.
Avoid stepping up when (W) displacement is available to prevent forced short trades.
Use early waves to track (Q) cooldown and punish missed poke windows.

Power spikes

First completed item lets Jinx hold wave access and contest CS with safer (Q) poke, increasing lane pressure.
Two-item spike grants rocket range and resets that enable Jinx to out-DPS Ziggs in grouped fights.
Level 6 (R) adds execute threat on low-health targets, forcing Ziggs to respect positioning and cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert stable CS and health leads into turret plate damage by crashing waves near Ziggs's turret.
Use item spikes to force recalls or kills, enabling dragon vision control and objective setups.
Leverage resets and rocket range in teamfights to safely dish out DPS and secure cleanup kills.
