| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Samira | You beat immobile Jinx at level 1 since she has no way to escape your dash. |
| Level 2 | Samira | At level 2 she's still stuck in place and exposed every time she steps up. |
| Level 3 | Samira | Level 3 gives you the dash to punish her whenever she commits to pushing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Samira | Through 4-5 you windwall her rockets and force melee trades she loses. |
| Level 6 | Samira | At 6 your ult executes a stationary Jinx that her global rocket can't peel. |
| First item | Samira | At first item you out-brawl her before her scaling and rocket resets arrive. |
| Two+ items | Jinx | Late, fully-itemized Jinx with Get Excited resets kites and out-DPSes you. |
You crush an immobile Jinx at 1-2: she has no dash, so every step she takes to farm or push exposes her to your Q gap-close and windwall.
