| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jhin | Level 1 favours Jhin because his Q-grenade and fourth-shot crit out-poke your melee range. |
| Level 2 | Jhin | Level 2 is Jhin's as his auto-attack pressure and Q zone you off CS. |
| Level 3 | Jhin | Level 3 favours Jhin since W-Deadly Flourish root plus support slow threatens a kill you can't answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jhin | Levels 4-5 stay Jhin-favoured because his burst and poke out-trade your pre-ult kit. |
| Level 6 | Nilah | Level 6 flips to Nilah as Apotheosis lets you dive and all-in through his reload window. |
| First item | Nilah | First item is Nilah's because you can dash past his fourth shot and dodge W-root to close melee. |
| Two+ items | Nilah | At 2+ items Nilah dives the immobile Jhin in fights and deletes him. |
Levels 1-2 favour Jhin hard: his Q pokes through the wave and his auto-crit every fourth shot punishes any CS walk-up, so you farm behind minions and never trade into his root setup.
