Jinx is one of the strongest ADCs right now in League of Legends, based on how strong her core items are, she is able to be a late-game killing machine with essentially a rapid-fire cannon attached to her. On top of that, her ultimate is essentially a teamfight-winning weapon as it executes champions at a certain health, along with setting off Jinx’s passive, Get Excited.

But to have Jinx be that late-game killing machine, you’re going to need good support for Jinx. Stay tuned to this article to find out the best duo for Jinx, what makes them pair well with the Arcane star, and more.

Enchanters are the way to go

If you’re looking for the ultimate set of champions to buff up the Jinx synergy, then Nami is the go-to support for Jinx. Nami is great at empowering their ADCs’, meaning they can buff up their auto-attacks, which is absolutely perfect for a champion like Jinx who heavily relies on their auto attacks, especially as their passive increases the auto attack speed every time Jinx auto attacks, stacking up to six. 

Nami’s bubble is essentially a free kill in the bottom lane when paired with Jinx. The reason is that as soon as Nami hits an enemy champion with their bubble, Jinx can throw down their traps, essentially guaranteeing a kill, or at the very least the enemy ADC will be blowing all of their summoners just to get away. Also, Nami’s ultimate slows enemy champions down, if you combine this with Jinx’s W, which also slows enemies, they will be essentially rooted in place due to the amount of slowing effects they have on them.

Nami is one of the best supports for Jinx in League of Legends. She heals her up, and allows her to stay extended fights much longer while also providing handy disengage if the fight gets too risky of if you’re outnumbered.

How to build Nami?

According to Mobalytics, the first core item you’re going to want to build on Nami is Imperial Mandate, which makes the most sense when pairing with a champion like Jinx. Imperial Mandate procs when Nami slows or immobilizes an enemy champion. When that happens, the champion is marked. Ally damage to the marked champion detonates the mark, dealing magic damage equal to 10% of the player's current health.

Jinx's synergy with Nami is excellent because Nami has healing and shielding, you’re going to want to get Moonstone Renewer as your next item. This will definitely buff up the healing you do while chaining the healing effect to another ally. This means that in large teamfights, you’ll be buffing not only your Jinx but another member of your team too. While Jinx’s Get Excited passive grants her movement speed, getting Shurelya’s Battlesong will allow Jinx to chase down targets with ease. This item grants nearby allies 30% more movement speed over 4 seconds.

Now that you have the core build for Nami locked down, you’ll be good to go when pairing up with a Jinx in your next solo queue game. Remember to consistently use your poke to push the enemies out of lane. Nami is one of the more annoying supports to go up against, so make sure to push your weight around where applicable.
