League of Legends Swarm Jinx guide

The Primordians are assaulting Final City, and you need to fight back in the PvE Swarm mode, so here's how to play Jinx to her peak potential.

Jinx is one of the characters you'll have at the very start of your Swarm experience, so she's great for getting used to the mode. Luckily, she's also an excellent high-damage carry with some insane horde-clearing abilities. Here's everything you need to know to pilot Jinx on even the hardest difficulties of Swarm.

Jinx's abilities are as follows:

Passive: Jinx gets excited every 75 non-elite kills, or every elite kill. While excited, she gains 75 Ability Haste and huge movement speed.

E: Jinx sends out a swarm of 9 rockets in a cone in a chosen direction. Each rocket explodes on contact in a small AoE. This is a very low cooldown ability, so use it liberally to buy yourself space and deal with elite enemies where the whole wave of rockets can be focused on one target.

Ultimate: Jinx fires her Super Mega Death Rocket that travels for a significant distance before exploding. It deals more damage with more missing enemy health. This is a fantastic way to deal with a large clump of enemies and trigger Jinx's passive.

Jinx wants some specific stats most of the time, so she's best off with weapons that prioritize those passive stats anyhow.

S Tier: UwU Blaster, Lioness' Lament, Blade-o-Rang, Paw-Print Poisoner

A Tier: Vortex Glove, Echoing Bat Blades, Ani-Mines, Searing Shortbow, Anti-Shark Sea Mine, Final City Transit

B Tier: Bunny Mega-Blast, Gatling Bunny-Guns

Jinx can use most weapons, but these are the ones that are best served with the passives and abilities she has at hand.

As mentioned, Jinx is looking for very specific stats to upgrade her abilities, so we've broken up how we see Jinx's passive options being ranked for her.

S Tier: Ability Haste, Movement Speed, Damage

A Tier: Duration, Area Size, Critical Chance

B Tier: Armor, Max Health, Health Regen, XP, Pickup Radius

Jinx is one of the best users of the many movement speed Yuumi Quest upgrades. Prioritize Damage, Ability Haste, and Movement speed from Yuumi Quests and you'll be in a position to hyper-carry in no time.

Jinx is her team's hyper-carry. She'll struggle a little bit in the early game, but once the enemies become numerous, Jinx hits her stride. Thanks to Jinx's passive, the more enemies she has to kill, the better she becomes. In the late game, Jinx will chain passive triggers to constantly be excited and shred through enemies.

Her E is your basic horde-clearing tool. It's especially useful to trigger your passive when you're a few kills short, or to help break your team out of a circle of spearmen Primordians, for example. Use it pretty much every time it's up and you have multiple enemies you can target.

Jinx's rocket should be used sparingly early on, as it's a great emergency button to press to get your team out of a sudden morass of enemies. Don't be afraid to fire it off when it doesn't get you your passive. If there's a huge group of enemies, then fire away.

That's all you need to know to play Jinx in Swarm. Now go get to level 25 and unlock Vortex Gloves.
