Read from Veigar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jhin.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jhin | Jhin's level-1 auto damage and range out-trade your empty early kit. |
| Level 2 | Jhin | At level 2 his W root through minions sets up punishing trades you can't answer. |
| Level 3 | Jhin | Through level 3 his 4th-shot burst plus poke keeps you on the back foot. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jhin | At levels 4-5 his reload-timed 4th auto and W setups still outdamage your pre-6 kit. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | At 6 your Primordial Burst plus Event Horizon punishes his immobility for a lethal all-in. |
| First item | Veigar | With a completed item your stacked Q combo one-shots Jhin's low-mobility body. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Your uncapped AP scaling overwhelms Jhin's crit-poke pattern in every teamfight. |
Jhin controls levels 1-4: his auto range and the huge 4th-shot damage out-trade your fragile early laning, and his W can root you through minions for a free trade, so play behind your caster minions and only reach in with Baleful Strike to CS. His reach and his fourth round beat your fragile early laning, so farm executes from behind minions and take nothing else. His root reaches through the wave. Hover the cage for the moment his support commits rather than for him, and let the stack count carry you to the level where he cannot dive you.
