Read from Veigar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jinx.
This is Veigar's own plan; across 6,764 pooled games the lane is leaning Jinx.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jinx | Jinx's level-1 minigun ramp and rocket range out-poke your empty early kit. |
| Level 2 | Jinx | At level 2 her Fishbones range keeps chunking you before your combo comes online. |
| Level 3 | Veigar | At level 3 Event Horizon plus Baleful Strike lets you stun immobile Jinx and trade brutally. |
| Levels 4-5 | Veigar | At levels 4-5 your cage-into-Q combo keeps punishing her lack of mobility. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | At 6 Primordial Burst turns any Jinx misstep into a lethal all-in. |
| First item | Veigar | With a completed item your stacked Q combo one-shots her fragile frame. |
| Two+ items | Jinx | At full build Jinx's uncapped rocket DPS and Get Excited resets out-scale you in long fights. |
Jinx edges levels 1-2 with her Pow-Pow minigun ramp and Fishbones rocket range chunking you before your kit is online, so farm Baleful Strike from range and don't contest early trades you can't win. Her ramp chunks you before your kit is online, so farm Baleful Strike from behind your own casters and give up the contested minions. Hover the cage for the moment she commits to a step-up. The stacks are the point here, so take them quietly and let the mid-game be where you answer her.
