Jhin: spell copies into repeated stuns

Jhin can control the board with two champion bodies and copied spells. Jhin's slower plan is a delayed-summon and duplication engine. For faster starts, many players prefer an immediate barrage build; this guide covers the slower control option and what it costs to set up.

Chemtech Duplicator

When you play a spell, if you have 6+ mana gems, copy it with the same targets.

The payoff starts at six mana gems. Once active, a spell produces another cast with the same targets; until then this slot does not improve your opening.

Frozen Tomb

Game Start: If I'm in deck or in hand, summon a Stormcarved Spire with Countdown 4: Summon me.

The delayed extra champion entry provides insurance and another engine body. It takes time to arrive and a summon is not the same as playing a champion with a Play effect.

Guardian Angel

+0|+2 and Deathless.
Start adventures with +2 Revives.

Deathless helps preserve a champion entry after a death and the adventure revives add recovery options. The revived champion is not automatically safe from subsequent removal.

Develop skill-producing followers while you wait for the champion and delayed extra copy. At three stars every fourth qualifying spell or Skill supplies a free Captive Audience. Use it on the threat that would otherwise connect, then let the six-mana duplication engine add more spell output.

Burst spells do not automatically count toward the qualifying sequence. The two champion bodies can multiply champion effects, but the setup is slow: preserve blockers and Stun before the delayed champion arrives.

Keep cheap blockers and skill-producing followers so you survive the delayed champion entry. Save the generated Captive Audience for an attacker that matters, and reach six mana gems before expecting Chemtech Duplicator to work. Two champion bodies improve the engine once both survive on board.

The faster alternative equips The Curator's Gatebreaker above two copies of Riptide Battery to activate Plunder before the barrage effects. Players also substitute Luden's Tempest when they can trigger Plunder independently. There used to be a replay bug after a champion copy turns into a spell; it may or may not be fixed.

Beauty in Death II

For every 4th Fast spell, Slow spell, or Skill you play, create a 0 cost Captive Audience in hand.
