This is a documented matchup list, not a win rate: TheNexus does not publish win-rate or pick-rate figures it cannot source.

How do you play against Jinx in Wild Rift?

Riot's ability text for Jinx contains none of the crowd-control, dash, shield or healing wording we match on. Read the ability descriptions on this page before the first trade.

What is the best build for Jinx in Wild Rift?

The Nexus-reviewed core build for Jinx, in purchase order: The Collector then Magnetic Blaster then Mortal Reminder then Berserker's Greaves then Galeforce. Runes: Lethal Tempo, Brutal, Cut Down, Legend: Alacrity, Bone Plating. Situational swaps: against enemy healing: Lord Dominik's Regard; against enemy crowd control: Mercurial Scimitar; against enemy burst: Guardian Angel. This is a reviewed snapshot (patch 7.2b), not a build ranked by win rate.

Which lane and role does Jinx play in Wild Rift?

Jinx is a Marksman by Riot's classification and is played in Dragon / ADC. Riot rates the difficulty Medium. On our tier-list snapshot (patch 7.2b) it shows B tier from its external source, which is a snapshot letter and not a TheNexus win rate.
