How to win lane as Jhin against Aphelios · 51.98% win rate over 12,046 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jhin | You win level 1 because your auto-attack range and fourth-shot damage beat Aphelios's basic right-click before either gun kit spikes. |
| Level 2 | Jhin | You win level 2 because your W adds a root threat Aphelios cannot match, punishing any step-up. |
| Level 3 | Jhin | You win level 3 because your full QWE kit out-trades his gun rotation and he has no dash to escape a mark. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jhin | You stay ahead 4-5 because your fourth-shot burst chunks him through minions while he lacks mobility to disengage. |
| Level 6 | Jhin | You win level 6 because Curtain Call snipes an immobile Aphelios who has no self-peel. |
| First item | Jhin | You win the first-item window because your total-AD fourth-shot scaling spikes harder than his gun-dependent output. |
| Two+ items | Jhin | You win with two items because long-range picks and reset-kiting outscale a stationary carry you can root and execute. |
You control levels 1-3 outright: your auto range and fourth-shot punch beat Aphelios's raw right-click, and W threatens a root any time your mark lands. Deny him free CS and he falls behind his gun economy.
