Example guide: Payload Jinx

Jinx · by Runeterra Guide (example) · 2026-10-13

A sample guide showing what the guide editor makes. Everything in it comes from the site's game data and the community builds credited at the end, not from one player's runs.

Easy to play

Why Jinx

Jinx is rated Easy and Aggressive, and Runeterra Relics rates her Excellent (9/10). Her whole plan is one idea: empty your hand fast.

  • Her level-up text is simply "I see your hand is empty."
  • Her first star power, What's the Worst that Could Happen?, deals 1 to the enemy Nexus every time you play or discard a card.
  • When she levels up with Wreak Havoc, you get a Super Mega Death Rocket! in hand: 3 to the enemy Nexus and 1 to every enemy.

The build

The Loose Cannon's Payload

The core of almost every Jinx build: it's in 19 of the 22 builds players shared on LoR Relics and in all three recorded 10★ clears shown on her Builds tab. When she's summoned you discard your hand and get that many Pow-Pow instead, so:

  1. your hand is empty, so Jinx levels up straight away;
  2. every discarded card triggers What's the Worst that Could Happen?;
  3. the Pow-Pows you get are 2-mana spells that deal 3 to a unit.

The Scourge's Stash

Plunder: I cost 2 less. Jinx hits the enemy Nexus easily, so she comes down earlier.

Guardian Angel

+0|+2, Deathless and +2 Revives for the whole adventure. The safe third slot, used in the highest-level recorded clear (level 48, Scourge's Stash + Payload + Guardian Angel).

Swaps

No Payload yet? It's a reward from Garen's 2★ campaign. The Scourge's Stash comes from Lee Sin's 2★ campaign, and Guardian Angel from Silver Reliquary, Platinum and Diamond Vaults.

Star powers in order

  1. What's the Worst that Could Happen?: the damage engine.
  2. Wreak Havoc: +1 starting mana, and a rocket on level-up.
  3. What's the Worst that Could Happen? II: the same ping, plus 1 to a random enemy.
  4. Sorcery: refill your spell mana every round, more Pow-Pows.
  5. Manaflow: a mana gem at game start.
  6. Get Jinxed!: double damage for spells and skills.

Stars 4 and 5 need Star Crystals from Piltover & Zaun; see the Farm tab on Jinx's page for where to get them.
