Sivir vs Jhin

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Lane turns on denying Jhin's fourth-shot CS punish by controlling wave and (E) timing.
Sivir wins extended trades and scales better, but must avoid Jhin's short burst trades with root follow-up.
Hold wave near your side to punish Jhin's last hits and prevent him from using (Q) bounce angles.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin's last-hit attempts when his fourth shot is down and enemy support cannot zone.
Use (W) through minions to hit Jhin if he stands behind wave to farm.
Hold (E) for Jhin's root (W) or support's key engage to negate follow-up damage.

Danger windows

Jhin's fourth shot ready with support CC nearby creates lethal short-trade burst windows.
Stepping into brush or river control without (E) up risks root follow-up and support engage.
Large waves reduce your ability to punish (Q) bounce and increase his poke safety.

Early game

Use first three waves to clear with (W) and punish Jhin stepping up for cannon or melee CS.
Avoid walking up when Jhin's fourth shot is ready unless enemy support cannot punish.
Track enemy support position to decide when to contest low-health minions for (Q) double-hit poke.

Power spikes

(E) available: block Jhin's root (W) or support engage to secure safer trades.
Level 6 (R) gives team movement advantage, enabling coordinated all-ins or escapes.
First completed marksman item strengthens waveclear and DPS, making Jhin's fourth-shot punish riskier.

Win conditions

Convert wave control and last-hit punishment into health leads forcing Jhin recalls or lost plates.
Use (R) with team to force fights or disengage, leveraging superior teamfight DPS.
Deny Jhin free farm and scale safely to outdamage his burst and control dragon setups later.
