Arrr, role fit
SupportJinxJinx be normally played Bot and does nay currently have a reviewed Support course. Support most often needs useful engage, peel or utility while operating on low doubloons income. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
These patches keep recommendation review, build checks and item lookup on separate charts, matey. Fresh item data does not finish a build review.
Unreviewed course
Jinx be normally played Bot and does nay currently have a reviewed Support course. Support most often needs useful engage, peel or utility while operating on low doubloons income. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
A different course's gear be nay relabelled as true to course. Role income, sea chart access and starting rules can change th' whole purchase order.

A marksman Support still operates on reduced income. Fleet supports short trades and retreat timing; Heal keeps th' shared course safer.

Exhaust answers a committed damage dealer; Ignite adds pressure and anti-heal; Heal protects both nigh th' ship partners.
Arrr, matchup notes
Track th' cooldown and range o' th' trick that starts their safest trade. Do nay treat this chart as a statistical counter claim.
Keep Vex visible afore committing. Th' second Bot-course champion and nigh th' ship Jungler can change whether th' same engage be seaworthy.

Cooldown 140/120/100 · Cost 100 · Arrr, listed range 2000/2500/3000Adapt th' course
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Keep th' wave where yer Support and Jungler can protect ye. Use rocket range to deny last aboard hits, but do nay stand beyond yer vision merely because th' course be taking th' victory.
Arrive early, loadout minigun speed on th' prize and keep Flame Chompers! fer th' course enemies must use to enter.
Hit th' nearest seaworthy target until Get Excited! triggers. Spend th' reset th' course on better positioning afore deciding whether a chase be seaworthy.
Clash th' wave without draining all o' yer mana through rockets. Swap to Pow-Pow when a target can be attacked safely fer several hits.
Move wit' crewmates rather than entering river alone. Yer first aboard takedown or structure can change an ordinary fight into Jinx's strongest moment.
Preserve distance and attack th' closest reachable threat. A glamorous back aboard-line target be nay worth crossing foe control to reach.
Collect waves from rocket range and let unsafe minions go. Keep traps fer th' foe engage or tower dive rather than using them fer hopeful damage.
Trade an uncontestable prize fer farm, vision or a structure elsewhere. Walking late into darkness most often increases th' deficit.
Stay beside peel and wait fer an foe to overextend. Super Mega Death Rocket! be a finisher or cross-sea chart contribution, nay a reason to stop farming repeatedly.
Pings, movement and prizes
Turn ship's intelligence into a shared decision. Move wit' an ally and preserve th' tool that makes th' next aboard fight seaworthy.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
'Round a minute afore Dragon, ping th' course, spend doubloons if needed and make sure Bot and Mid know whether they can move.
Walk wit' th' Jungler or another ally. Sweep one course, place useful entrance vision and ne'er face-inspect alone.
Inspect nigh th' ship waves and foe positions. Hold th' spell that either starts a reachable fight or protects yer main damage dealer.
Keep enemies astern from th' seaworthy entrance, mark th' reachable threat and avoid chasing so far across th' waters that Dragon be left unprotected.
Later prizes: Use th' same pattern fer Rift Herald or Baron: communicate first aboard, move through controlled vision wit' an ally, then choose engage or peel afore th' fight begins.
Arrr, keep preparing
Th' matchup chart be a pre-battle reference. It does nay predict th' result or alter its recommendation from changing live clash data.
