Read from Jhin's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Twitch.
This is Jhin's own plan; across 20,573 pooled games the lane is leaning Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jhin | You crush level 1 against a rangeless, waveclear-less lane bully-in-waiting. |
| Level 2 | Jhin | Level 2 your auto-grenade burst dominates before Twitch has any damage. |
| Level 3 | Jhin | Level 3 your full combo and crit punish every last-hit he reaches for. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jhin | Levels 4-5 you keep the poke lead as his slow and venom stacks barely threaten you. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 evens out because Spray and Pray shreds you and your support in a fight. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as his stacked DPS out-values you in extended brawls. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items in it's positioning-decided, with his stealth flanks against your ranged burst, so late is skill. |
Levels 1-3 are firmly yours: Twitch has no range and no waveclear, so bounce Dancing Grenade onto him and land fourth-shot crits every time he steps to CS while watching for stealth ganks. An unwarded bush is the only threat here, so buy the vision and plant the flower on the angle you cannot watch. While he is visible your range simply wins, so bounce the grenade at every walk-up and take the fourth shot on the last-hit he needs. Reload before the wave crashes, not during it.
