Jhin is one of the greatest ARAM picks. He has a long-range and tons of damage which allows him to poke enemies from a distance, and manipulate waves into the ally’s team’s favor. To get the most out of Jhin, today we are gonna go over the build that the highest MMR Jhin players use on ARAM.
Best Jhin Items
Statikk Shiv
A great first item for Jhin in ARAM is Statikk Shiv. Its multi-target passive will allow you to shove waves much faster, and shoving waves will give you extra access to poking enemies. The item is also great as it will set a foundation for our upcoming critical strike items.
Rapid Firecannon
The Rapid Firecannon is another great item for Jhin. It will periodically increase our range, which will allow us to engage in fights much more easily. The enhanced auto-attack will help us attack enemies more safely, and activate Jhin’s movement speed. When the movement speed boost is active, it becomes much easier to chase down enemies.
Infinity Edge
Infinity Edge is one of Jhin’s core items. It will grant us a solid base of AD, critical chance, and critical strike damage. The critical strike damage amplifier will carry over to all our items, and make us stronger by many orders of magnitude.
Lord Dominik’s Regards
One of my favorite items on Jhin is Lord Dominik’s Regards. The item will max out our critical strike, and give us a massive armor penetration boost amounting to 35%. The flat 35% shred will make us much stronger, and it genuinely feels like a cheat.
Blood Thirster
Since we are already on 100% critical chance, buying another crit would be a waste of gold. Therefore, we will redirect our remaining resources to Blood Thirster. The item will give us a massive damage boost, a great amount of lifesteal stats, as well as a nice shield to make us more resilient to attacks.
Boots
Boots of Swiftness are non-negotiably the best boots on Jhin. They will massively increase our movement speed, and reduce the slows we receive by 25%
Runes for Jhin
- Dark Harvest
- Taste of Blood
- Eyeball Collection
- Treasure Hunter
- Presence of Mind
- Legend: Bloodline
The best keystone for our Jhin build is the Dark Harvest. It will allow us to gain great amounts of extra damage as it is really easy to stack in ARAM. The second rune we will want to take is the Taste of Blood, which will help us sustain in the early game.
The third best rune for Jhin is the Eyeball Collection, and it will help us generate extra damage for each unique takedown. After the Eyeball Collection, we will want to take the Treasure Hunter to get extra gold on our early-game kills and assists.
Lastly, we will take Presence of Mind and Legend Bloodline. The Presence of Mind will be essential for early game mana sustain, and Bloodline will give us really helpful amounts of life steal.
Final Thoughts
Jhin is one of the greatest ARAM picks. The best way to play him is by utilizing a full critical damage build coupled with Dark Harvest runes. To make the most out of this build, you will want to poke your enemies from the distance and do your best to push waves and towers when you are off cooldowns.
