Samira vs Jhin

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Samira wins by punishing Jhin's fourth-shot last-hit attempts and following support engage for resets.
Control wave states that deny Jhin clean (Q) bounces and force him to use (W) defensively.
Samira favors volatile all-ins after blocking Jhin's key poke with (W) and stacking Style.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin's last-hit attempts when fourth shot is ready and enemy support is out of position.
Use (W) to block (Q) or (W) poke before committing to an all-in with (E) follow-up.
Avoid dashing in without a reset window; only engage when low-health targets enable (E) resets and support CC lands.

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot when contesting low-health minions to avoid burst trades.
Avoid stepping forward when Jhin's support controls brush or can immediately follow your engage.
Be cautious after using (E) without a reset, as you become vulnerable to Jhin's root and burst.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a wave near your side to limit (Q) bounce angles.
Track Jhin's fourth shot and punish him stepping up for melee or cannon minions only if enemy support cannot punish.
Avoid dashing in before your support's engage cooldowns and wait for Jhin to miss (W) root attempts.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling high burst if you stack Style and enter with support CC.
First completed damage item strengthens all-in damage and reset threat, forcing Jhin to respect trades.
Jhin's fourth shot ready forces you to give up some last-hit punishes; wait for it to be spent.

Win conditions

Convert health leads from successful all-ins into crashing waves to take turret plates and force recalls.
Use support engage to stack Style and reset through skirmishes, denying Jhin safe farming.
Leverage your mid-game spikes to secure dragon control and teamfight DPS positioning over Jhin.
