Damage
962Jhin
765Malphite
Jhin heavily out-damages Malphite by 197 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Malphite should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Jhin's sustained damage advantage take over.

Jhin generates a commanding 2,193 more gold per game than Malphite. This substantial economic advantage means Jhin consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.4Jhin
