Read from Jinx's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sivir.
This is Jinx's own plan; across 13,967 pooled games the lane is leaning Jinx.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sivir | Level 1 is Sivir's: Boomerang Blade poke and superior push let her control the wave and chip you immediately. |
| Level 2 | Sivir | Level 2 stays Sivir-favoured as W Ricochet adds wave pressure and pokes you off the caster minions. |
| Level 3 | Sivir | Level 3 Sivir is ahead with her full poke-and-shove kit plus Spell Shield shutting down your engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even skill: you can farm safely under tower while she pushes, so trades come down to positioning and Shield usage. |
| Level 6 | Sivir | Level 6 tilts to Sivir because On The Hunt's speed lets her dodge Super Mega Death Rocket and dictate the tempo. |
| First item | Jinx | First item is Jinx's: Fishbones now outranges her Q and each takedown resets your Get Excited! steroid. |
| Two+ items | Jinx | With 2+ items Jinx wins on Fishbones splash and reset-fueled attack speed in grouped teamfights. |
Sivir dominates levels 1-3: Boomerang Blade and Ricochet out-range and out-push you while Spell Shield neutralizes your engage, so give ground, farm under tower, and don't walk up to trade. She out-pushes you early, so give up the level-one shove and farm at the back in minigun form. Her shield eats Zap, so send a rocket into it first if you need the slow to land. Once her mana is spent clearing, your rocket wave-clear takes the tempo back without a trade.
