The Crew Jhin positioning
A starting board for The Crew Jhin. Drag units to adjust it, switch to the anti-assassin layout when the lobby has divers, and copy the Team Planner code into the TFT client.
- Corner Jinx on the back line and put K'Sante in front of it.
- Split Jinx and Jhin across the back line so a single area spell can't hit both.
- K'Sante, Neeko, and Kennen hold the front line — put the tankiest one opposite the enemy carry.
- Against assassins, step your carries up one row and leave Kennen and Malphite in the back corners as bait.

Itemization
Build Giant Slayer, Infinity Edge, and Edge of Night on Jhin.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing The Crew Jhin.
