Read from Corki's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jhin.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jhin | Jhin's longer auto range and fourth-shot crit win the level-1 straight trade before your Q is online. |
| Level 2 | Jhin | At level 2 Jhin's Q bounce and reload burst still out-trade your minimal damage. |
| Level 3 | Jhin | Level 3 Jhin's W root plus fourth crit punishes any step-up harder than you can answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jhin | Through levels 4-5 Jhin keeps poke and root priority while you're still farming to power. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even: your Missile Barrage and Valkyrie answer his Curtain Call global as a skill check. |
| First item | Corki | At first item your true-damage shred and DPS overtake his rooted burst. |
| Two+ items | Corki | With 2+ items Corki's sustained damage and mobility beat a stationary Jhin outright. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Jhin: his auto-attack range and the fourth-shot crit let him win any straight trade before you have your Q shred online, so farm safely and don't contest melee-range last hits. Count his rounds and take your last-hits during the reload. Bomb him on the fourth shot, when he is committed and cannot walk away from the splash. Captive Audience is the trap that makes his support's engage work, so Bomb the brush before your support steps into it rather than after he is already rooted.
