How to Combo Jinnar

Basic Combo

  • Battering Beads 1
  • Nirvana 3
  • Sutra of Pain 2
  • Basic Attack

Basic Jinnar Jinnar combo:

  1. Use Skill 1 Battering Beads Battering Beads to poke the enemy from range.
  2. Activate Skill 3 Nirvana Nirvana to speed up and close in on the enemy for damage.
  3. Use Skill 2 Sutra of Pain Sutra of Pain to slow the enemy and continue dealing damage.
  4. Basic attack to trigger passive Samsara Samsara .

Use Skill 3 Nirvana Nirvana sensibly depending on the situation, since it’s Jinnar Jinnar ‘s most important skill.

How to Use Jinnar's Skills Effectively

  • Basic attack or land skills on a target 4 times to empower your 5th basic attack.
  • Take advantage of this empowered attack’s big damage and long piercing range to burst the enemy and clear minions very effectively.
  • Cast it onto a minion near an enemy hero, or onto enemy heroes standing close together, to take advantage of this skill’s bounce.
  • Use Skill 1 to clear minions fast, poke the enemy, and contest objectives.
  • Activate this skill when you need to slow your opponent to chase or escape.
  • Combine the slow with Skill 3 Nirvana Nirvana active to make the enemy take more damage.
  • Take advantage of the damage area around Jinnar Jinnar to clear minions fast.
  • Use this skill mainly to dive into the enemy formation in a fight, since the more enemies around, the more damage immunity Jinnar Jinnar gains.
  • Stay in the middle of the enemy formation to maximize damage while the skill is active.
  • Combine it with Skill 2 Sutra of Pain Sutra of Pain and Sprint Sprint for a more effective dive.

How to Play Jinnar in the Early Game

In the early game, Jinnar Jinnar ‘s paper-thin health and poor mobility make her an easy hunting target, so avoid wandering alone into the river area.

Keep a safe distance from enemy heroes and use Skill 1 Battering Beads Battering Beads to poke and clear minions from range.

If an enemy closes in, use Skill 2 Sutra of Pain Sutra of Pain to slow them and retreat.

How to Play Jinnar in the Mid Game

Once you’ve reached level 4 and have Skill 3 Nirvana Nirvana , Jinnar Jinnar becomes much stronger.

Clear minions fast at mid, then rotate to join fights and organize securing major objectives. Since this hero’s mobility is fairly low, it’s best to move with your jungler for more effective ganks.

Use Skill 3 Nirvana Nirvana to dive in and open fights, creating an opening for your allies to unload damage.

How to Play Jinnar in the Late Game

By the late game, always move with your allies to be ready for a fight breaking out at any moment.

Move around to poke with Skill 1 Battering Beads Battering Beads ; once you see the enemy formation clustered together, immediately use Skill 3 Nirvana Nirvana to dive in and burst them.

Move as deep into the enemy formation as possible, since the more enemy heroes around you, the more damage immunity Jinnar Jinnar gains and the more damage she deals.

Watch the clock so you can retreat in time before Skill 3’s Nirvana Nirvana duration ends.
