Which variant for your draft?

Three builds, one right answer per draft. The advisor reads the five enemies (and your allies) and names who triggers what — the same rule as the Draft MVP sheet and Ask Nexus.

Test with my draft

Best Jinx build (Dragon Lane): Infinity Edge › Runaan's Hurricane › Phantom Dancer › Bloodthirster › Magnetic Blaster, boots Berserker's Greaves, keystone Lethal Tempo. Three variants and when to pick each are below.

Same advisor in the Draft (the MVP sheet applies it to your real draft) and in Ask Nexus, which explains the choice. On counters pages: the variant to take against each counter-pick.

Core build — historical analysis (patch 7.0e)

Foundational item core, without recent situational additions — kept as a base for understanding the kit. For the up-to-date build, see the section above.

Jinx’s default build works because it respects her true win condition: surviving long enough for her sustained damage to exceed the enemy’s ability to contain her.
