Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Jhin

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Jhin

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

Advice to Understand How Jhin Will Play

Your ultimate deals significantly less damage to enemies with full health. Look to pick off weakened targets as they run away.

Deadly Flourish has incredible range. When approaching a fight be sure to look ahead for enemies that could be rooted.

You can still cast your spells while reloading. Use them to fill the down time.

How to Play with Jhin as Zilean in LoL

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

Overall, Zilean sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jhin. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Jhin helps Zilean perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zilean tries to synergize with Jhin, he sees a little drop in his complete damage output. This could signal that Jhin does not help protection for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Zilean is played alongside Jhin on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Jhin.

Moreover, when Zilean plays with Jhin on the same team, he on average takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may indicate that Jhin does a poor job of protecting Zilean during team fights.

Is Zilean better when played alongside Jhin?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Zilean that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. However, Jhin is a decent teammate for Zilean. By playing on the same side as Zilean, he improves their win rate by 1.9% to 52.6%. This clearly indicates that there is a potentially meaningful synergy between Zilean and Jhin that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Jhin has a lower difficulty than Zilean. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Jhin teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by bringing Zilean and Jhin together, you may not be giving your other allies a great deal of protection for burst damage. Make sure to include other champs on your team that offsets this hole in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Jhin ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
