Guide to Synergizing Katarina and Jinx

Tips for Playing as Katarina with Jinx

Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.

Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Shunpo to teleport into the fray and unleash a devastating Death Lotus.

Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.

Advice to Understand How Jinx Will Play

Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.

Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.

When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.

How to Play with Jinx as Katarina in LoL

The Katarina Jinx synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Jinx, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Katarina sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jinx. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Jinx helps Katarina perform poorer in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Katarina tries to synergize with Jinx, she gets a barely noticable drop in her complete damage dealt. This difference could signal that Jinx does not support by providing protection for her to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Katarina is played together with Jinx on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Jinx. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Jinx.

Additionally, when Katarina plays with Jinx on the same team, she usually receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Jinx does a decent job of protecting Katarina during team fights.

Is Katarina better when played alongside Jinx?

There is no one best champion pairing for Katarina that will no matter what be her best teammate. However, Jinx is a very typical companion for Katarina. By being on the same team as Katarina, she increases their win rate by 0.2% to 49.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Katarina and Jinx that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.

Jinx has a lower difficulty than Katarina. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Jinx allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Katarina and Jinx together, you probably will not be providing your team enough utility. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that fills this disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Jinx ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
