Arrr, role fit
TopJinxJinx be normally played Bot and does nay currently have a reviewed Top course. Top most often needs independent laning, durable trading or reliable side-course pressure. 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 Top course. Top most often needs independent laning, durable trading or reliable side-course pressure. 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.

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.
Treat Vex as one part o' th' sea chart state. Their Jungler, nigh th' ship waves and which teammates can move determine whether th' same trade or rotation be seaworthy.

Wait fer reload (s) / Cost / Charted reach (units) Data Dragon 16.20.1
Jinx receives massively increased Move Speed and Attack Speed whenever she helps kill or destroy an enemy champions epic jungle monster, or structure.
Jinx modifies her basic attacks by swapping between Pow-Pow, her minigun and Fishbones, her rocket launcher. Attacks with Pow-Pow grant Attack Speed, while attacks with Fishbones deal area of effect damage, gain increased range, but drain Mana and attack slower.
Wait fer reload (s) 0.9 · Cost 20 · Charted reach (units) 600Jinx uses Zapper, her shock pistol, to fire a blast that deals damage to the first enemy hit, slowing and revealing it.
Wait fer reload (s) 8/7/6/5/4 · Cost 40/45/50/55/60 · Charted reach (units) 1450Jinx throws out a line of snare grenades that explode after 5 seconds, lighting enemies on fire. Flame Chompers will bite enemy champions who walk over them, rooting them in place.
Wait fer reload (s) 24/20.5/17/13.5/10 · Cost 90 · Charted reach (units) 925Jinx fires a super rocket across the map that gains damage as it travels. The rocket will explode upon colliding with an enemy champion, dealing damage to it and surrounding enemies based on their missing Health.
That exported range ain't a verified in-game distance. Check the ability's current tooltip, matey.
Wait fer reload (s) 85/65/45 · Cost 100Vex periodically becomes empowered, causing her next basic Ability to fear enemies and interrupt dashes. Whenever a nearby enemy dashes, Vex applies a mark that can be consumed for bonus damage that also reduces the cooldown of her empowered state.
Launch a damaging missile that accelerates mid-flight.

Wait fer reload (s) 140/120/100 · Cost 100 · Charted reach (units) 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
Manage th' long course afore leaving it. A useful move begins wit' a handled wave, a visible course and a teammate who knows ye be coming.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
Push, catch or communicate th' wave afore leaving so th' foe does nay gain a free move and free income.
Use On Me Way fer th' course ye be actually taking and Peril where an unseen foe may arrive.
Move through controlled vision wit' th' Jungler or another ally instead o' face-checking th' prize alone.
Decide whether ye be engaging, front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry afore th' fight begins.
Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.
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.
