Wild Rift Jinx Summoner Spell
Flash & Heal
These two summoner spells are the best spell to use especially if you’re a beginner. You can use Flash to easily get in or out of a clash to reposition yourself and Heal to keep your HP and Mana sustained in the laning stage.
Jinx Game Strategy
Early Game
Focus on your CS (creep score) in the laning stage.
If you’re laning against a melee enemy in the lane, play around with your third skill as it roots the enemy to keep them in place and to deal damage. You can also toggle your Switcheroo! skill to have an effective creep kill. Just don’t overdo it since it will quickly drain your mana.

Mid-Late Game
Positioning is important in the late game. Since you’re one of the team’s main damage output, you have to be aware of your surroundings especially if you’re playing against a strong ADC enemy hero that can burst you immediately. When pushing the lanes, make sure you’re pushing alongside your support and/or fighter.
Conclusion
Jinx is one of the best champions to use if you’re a new Wild Rift player because of her uncomplicated set of skills and great team fight. Even though she has no mobility skills, she’s a strong late-game scaling potential that can carry and win the game.
