Jinx
GameplayJinx is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- Jinx's attack speed cap is increased to 90.0 for the duration, however this value is already beyond the technical limit for attack speed.
- Jinx will still trigger Get Excited from killing a summoned Rift Herald.
- Jinx will fail to trigger Get Excited in the specific circumstance of killing Baron Nashor while more than ~2500 distance away.(bug)
- Toggle abilities do not count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's passive.
- Jinx's first attack after switching to Fishbones can be triggered after 0.4 seconds, instead of using the attack timer.
- Despite Jinx starting the game using Pow-Pow she doesn't receive any bonus attack speed until Switcheroo! has been learned.
- Fishbones splash damage affects structures (minions will target Jinx) but does not affect targets if Jinx's attacks are blocked, dodged, or missed.
- With Runaan's Hurricane Pow-Pow generates one stack per enemy hit.
- Each of Runaan's Hurricane's additional bolts apply Fishbones' splash damage, which stacks with each other.
- Both weapons deal basic damage to their primary target (this includes the increased damage of Fishbones), which applies life steal based on the damage dealt (post-mitigation) as usual.
- The splash damage of Fishbones is based on the pre-mitigation damage done to the primary target (which includes critical strikes), and is not considered modified physical damage. It deals default damage: It doesn't apply life steal or on-hit effects.
- Fishbones damage: 110% AD (100% + 10%).
- Fishbones critical strike damage: 192.5% AD ((100% + 10%) × 1.75).
- Fishbones critical strike damage with Infinity Edge: 247.5% AD ((100% + 10%) × 2.25).
- Fishbones bolt damage: 44% AD ((100% + 10%) × 0.4).
- Fishbones bolt critical strike damage: 77% AD ((100% + 10%) × 0.4 × 1.75).
- Fishbones bolt critical strike damage with Infinity Edge: 99% AD ((100% + 10%) × 0.4 × 2.25).
- Fishbones potential damage on stacked enemies with Runaan's Hurricane: 198% AD (110% + 44% + 44%).
- Fishbones potential critical strike damage on stacked enemies with Runaan's Hurricane: 346.5% AD ((110% + 44% + 44%) × 1.75).
- Fishbones potential critical strike damage on stacked enemies with Runaan's Hurricane and Infinity Edge: 445.5% AD ((110% + 44% + 44%) × 2.25).
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
- Chompers will halt when encountering Wind Wall and Unbreakable.
- Spell shield does not negate the explosion.
- Spell shield will not prevent the explosion.
- Super Mega Death Rocket's projectile has an icon on the mini-map while it is in flight. It can be seen by only Jinx and her allies.
- The bonus damage based on missing health is based on each unit's own missing health and not the primary target's.
- Unlike similar spells, Super Mega Death Rocket will not increase it's damage when ranked up while the missile is in flight.(bug)
- This is because the base damage is fixed at a multiple of the damage the rocket initially started with.
- The bonus AD ratio will still update when AD is gained or lost between the cast and hit of the missile.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
icon on the mini-map while it is in flight. It can be seen by only Jinx and her allies.
- The maximum damage is reached after traveling 1500 units, which is equal to roughly 0.85 seconds of travel time. The rocket changes its visual appearance and missile speed slightly earlier, after traveling 1350 units.
