Bruiser Jinx build with runes and items. Bruiser Jinx guide offers in-depth how-to play, skill order and tips. Play Bruiser Jinx build in League of Legends Patch 25.17!
You play Bruiser stacking HP, auto attacking and rushing one specific item. You adapt to enemy team, building tanky items.
You rush Titanic Hydra and optionally Runaan's Hurricane.
Runaan's Hurricane is cool item, that makes you Titanic Hydra attacks even more fun. The thing is, it delay tankiness. So consider carefully if you should get it - example
Titanic Hydra can be your only damage item. Then go full tank.
Your auto attacks are quite powerful, thanks to Titanic Hydra and Grasp of the Undying. It's your main source of damage + your abilities.
Playstyle
🌊 Rush Titanic Hydra early - it is your core and defines the build.
⚔️ Play aggressive and look for opportunities to stack Grasp of the Undying and to activate your Titanic Hydra.
💪 Stack health.
🛡️ Adapt your tankiness to the enemy team: build armor, MR, or sustain as needed.
How to play
General
This build is focused on a single item - Titanic Hydra.
How is this build different to other bruisers builds? The main difference is item rush order. You rush Titanic Hydra first, then adapt to the situation!
Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
A very effective way of poking enemies is to use Titanic Hydra Active and hit minions in front of them (closer to them, better the effect).
Another effective way of poking enemies with Titanic, is to hit caster minions in the back.
Items
If you want to go more damage, Sundered Sky is an excellent damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so with Grasp, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
Runaan's Hurricane is quite a fun and optional item for this build. Buy it if you need damage AND do not need to be more tanky.
Adaptation
👊 If ahead, consider adding a second damage item to snowball.
🏰 If behind, focus purely on being frontline with Titanic Hydra as your only damage.
Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Tips and Tricks
Riot
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.
