How to play Jinx in ARAM Mayhem

Jinx is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #112 of 173 champions, with a 48.4% win rate over 2,071,073 games. It is also one of the most picked champions, showing up in 9% of games, so expect to see it on both sides.

91% of Jinx's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down.

The Crit build, critical strike and attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: The Collector, Runaan's Hurricane and Infinity Edge, with a 49.2% win rate over 1,496,194 games. For boots, most players buy Berserker's Greaves, but Gluttonous Greaves rank higher.

The cards that do best on Jinx are Weapon of Destiny, Urf's Champion and Escape Plan. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by attack damage. Skip Bread and Cheese and Brass Blast when you can: they do worst on Jinx. A pair to look for: Escape Plan with Hand of Baron.

Take Flash and Ghost (73% of players). Max Q (Switcheroo!) first, then W, then E.
