Veigar vs Jhin

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Veigar wins extended trades by trapping Jhin and bursting with (R) after stacking (Q).
Jhin controls short trades with fourth shot and root setups, forcing Veigar to avoid early all-ins.
Hold lane near safety to farm stacks and punish Jhin stepping up for last hits under limited support threat.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin's last-hit attempts only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back or zone.
Use (E) to trap Jhin when he steps forward for cannon or melee minions, then burst with (R).
Avoid trading when Jhin's fourth shot is ready and support controls brush or engage zones.

Danger windows

Jhin's fourth shot combined with (W) root and support follow-up punishes stepping up for CS.
Avoid stepping into brush or river zones controlled by (E) traps with support ready to engage.
(R) long-range execute is dangerous on low-health recalls or retreat paths through narrow corridors.

Early game

Use first three waves to safely stack (Q) near your turret to avoid Jhin's fourth-shot punish.
Avoid pushing wave too far early to prevent (Q) bounce and fourth-shot last-hit windows.
Track Jhin's ammo to identify when he reloads and loses poke pressure for safer stack farming.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) execute; trap Jhin with (E) first to guarantee burst kills or force summoners.
First completed mage item plus (Q) stacks increase burst threat; pressure waves and punish Jhin's reload windows.
Jhin's fourth shot and level 6 (R) require respecting his poke and root setup to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Deny Jhin free farm by punishing last-hit attempts during his reload or without support backup.
Use (E) to zone or trap Jhin, converting health leads into turret plates and dragon control.
Scale into late game burst windows where (R) can one-shot Jhin after stacking (Q).
