Jhin Suddenly Becomes Stronger in Patch 13.7
In patch 13.7, Jhin and the Void Traveler trait haven’t received any buffs from Riot. However, Jhin has inadvertently become stronger as Garen has been favored and turned into a very strong tank. The weakness of compositions revolving around Jhin in the past was their lack of crowd control. The combination with Garen has solved this issue.
Not stopping there, when placing Zac next to Jhin in this composition (aiming for 3 Void Travelers), players will inadvertently counter many strong play styles. Zac will be a reliable “bodyguard” for Jhin against the ambushes from LeBlanc, Gnar, and the Hacker trait.
Building the Jhin – Armored God Composition
By using both a damage dealer and a 4-cost tank, players need to have champions that hold items effectively in the early game. Sivir and Ashe will be top choices for the damage dealer position. Meanwhile, Wukong or Poppy will serve as good low-cost tanks at 1 gold.
By the mid-game, players should switch to using Vayne as the main item holder. Meanwhile, reaching 4 Guardians will greatly enhance the tankiness of the player’s composition. Shen will be the main tank at this stage, so he needs to be invested in with items and levels.
After reaching level 8, players need to use gold to acquire Jhin, Garen, and the 3 Void Travelers to stabilize the composition. If you obtain Leona while cycling through the Shop, Alistar will be a strong option to add magic resistance to the team. If lucky, Fiddlesticks or Urgot will be strong additions to enhance crowd control capabilities.
In terms of Augments, the most important upgrades for this composition are Clear Mind or Messy. They will help players level up very quickly to increase the chances of acquiring and upgrading Jhin and Garen. For items, Jhin will need to have the Blue Bow, Giant Slayer, and any attack item. Garen will need the Stoneplate, Titans Resolve, and Bloodthirster for optimal survivability in fights.
Conclusion
With Garen receiving a significant power boost, Jhin and the compositions centered around him have become much stronger. Therefore, Teamfight Tactics players should take advantage of the Jhin – Armored God composition to climb the ranks effectively at this time.
