Vayne vs Jhin

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jhin's fourth-shot punish when you walk up for last hits, so manage spacing carefully.
Vayne wins extended trades by kiting and applying true damage, while Jhin thrives in short burst trades.
Hold wave near your side to deny Jhin clean low-health minion bounces and reduce his poke angles.

Trading pattern

Hit Jhin during his fourth-shot reload or when he walks up for cannon/melee CS if support threat is low.
Use (Q) to reposition and punish Jhin's fixed attack cadence, avoiding stepping forward when his (W) root is ready.
Hold (E) to (E) Jhin into terrain if he overextends for CS or tries to engage after missing (W).

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot ready when you must walk up for melee or cannon minions; avoid stepping forward alone.
Avoid trading when (W) root is primed by support CC or trap damage, as it enables follow-up burst.
Be cautious if enemy support controls brush or engage zones, as your punish windows become too risky.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a safe wave near your tower, limiting Jhin's fourth-shot punish windows.
Punish Jhin stepping up for melee or cannon minions only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent getting caught by Jhin's root follow-up or support engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets you stealth reposition and outplay Jhin's burst trades; use it when you have space to kite.
First completed marksman item strengthens your sustained DPS, making it safer to punish Jhin's reload windows.
Two-item spike enables side-lane duels and true damage DPS, pressuring Jhin who lacks mobility and sustained trades.

Win conditions

Convert health leads from punishing Jhin's fourth-shot CS attempts into crashing waves and taking plates.
Use side-lane pressure after two-item spike to force Jhin into unfavorable fights or split-push scenarios.
Leverage your stealth (R) and (Q) repositioning in teamfights to access backline and maximize true damage output.
