| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jinx | Level 1 favours Jinx because her Fishbones rockets out-range and out-poke you before W is up. |
| Level 2 | Nilah | Level 2 flips to Nilah once W-Slipstream lets you close onto the immobile Jinx. |
| Level 3 | Nilah | Level 3 is Nilah's as your dash reaches melee where Jinx has no escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are skill-based since her E-Chompers or W-Zap can kite you if you mistime the dash. |
| Level 6 | Nilah | Level 6 favours Nilah because Apotheosis plus support CC guarantees the kill on immobile Jinx. |
| First item | Nilah | First item is Nilah's as you gap-close through rockets and cleave her down. |
| Two+ items | Nilah | At 2+ items Nilah dives the backline and deletes Jinx before she ramps. |
Level 1 favours Jinx: her Fishbones rockets out-range you and chunk you before you have W-Slipstream to close, so soak XP behind the wave and don't int into rocket poke.
