Abilities
Get Excited!PC
Passive - Get Excited!

Innate: Whenever Jinx scores a takedown against an enemy champion, epic monster, turret, or inhibitor within 3 seconds of damaging them, she gains 175% bonus movement speed decaying over 6 seconds.

Additionally, she is allowed to exceed the attack speed cap and gains a stack of Get Excited! for the same duration, stacking up to 5 times. Only takedown against enemy champion can grant stacks beyond the first.

Get Excited!: For each stack, Jinx gains 25% total attack speed, up to a maximum of 125% .

Pow-Pow: Basic attacks with Pow-Pow generate a stack of Rev'd up for 2.5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent attacks with Pow-Pow and stacking up to 3 times. Each stack of Rev'd up grants bonus attack speed, with all stacks beyond the first one being 50% effective. Stacks expire one by one when the duration ends.

Fishbones: Basic attacks with Fishbones cost mana on-attack to deal 110% AD modified physical damage to the target and nearby enemies. The damage is affected by critical strike modifiers. While Fishbones is equipped, Jinx gains bonus range but loses 10% of her bonus attack speed.

Only the first attack after switching to Fishbones will benefit from Rev'd up.

Patch 26.4nerf

Jinx is currently one of the big winners of the new season. It turns out when your primary output is crits, and they get stronger, you do, too! Considering explosive basic attacks are core to her identity, we're leaving them just as they are. But we're going to make sure that she's squishy enough that if she's directly next to an explosion while falling dozens of stories, she's not somehow tanky enough to survive all of that. This isn't canon, but c'mon, we all know how this works.

Stats

  • Armor growth reduced to 4.2 from 4.7.
Patch 26.1nerf

We like the overall shape of how Jinx functions and generally just want to preserve the value of her minigun's high attack speed, so we're making sure her two stances are more distinguished from one another and generally lowering a bit of spell damage to keep her attack-focused.

Stats

  • Attack speed growth reduced to 1% from 1.4%.

Super Mega Death Rocket!

  • Minimum base damage reduced to 20/35/50 from 25/40/55.
  • Maximum base damage reduced to 200/350/500 from 250/400/550.
  • Mininum bonus AD ratio reduced to 12% bonus AD from 13%.
  • Maximum bonus AD ratio reduced to 120% bonus AD from 130%.
Patch 25.23nerf

As with the other ADC nerfs above, Jinx wins a large portion of her games and risks crowding out other champions if left untouched amidst the other nerfs in this patch. We want to preserve her identity as a late-game auto attack monster, so we're nerfing some of Jinx's spell damage.

Super Mega Death Rocket!

  • Minimum base damage reduced to 25/40/55 from 30/45/60.
  • Maximum base damage reduced to 250/400/550 from 300/450/600.
  • Minimum bonus AD ratio reduced to 13% bonus AD from 15.5%.
  • Maximum bonus AD ratio reduced to 130% bonus AD from 155%.

Arcane Fractured

  • New game start effect.
  • Smoothed out animations per form.
