Blade of the Ruined King	Gluttonous Greaves	Infinity Edge	Runaan’s Hurricane
Mortal Reminder	Guardian Angle	Quick Sliver	Ward

When you are playing Jinx as an ADC in a Dragon lane, build Blade of the Ruined King as your first item. The Blade of the ruined will give you +30 attack damage, +30% attack speed, and 10% physical vamp, which will help you in the lanning phase. After the Blade of the ruined king, Build Gluttonous Greaves as your second item for movement speed and physical vamp.

Build Infinity Edge as your third item as it will give you +55 attack damage and a +25 critical rate. After the Infinity Edge, build Runaan’s Hurricane as your third item for more attack speed and critical rate. Jinx gets a power spike when he has his first three items, so try to be in every team fight after you get your three items.

Core Items: 

Blade of the Ruined King

Infinity Edge

Runaan’s Hurricane

2. Jinx’s Item Build vs Tanks 

Blade of the Ruined King	Gluttonous Greaves	Mortal Reminder	Runaan’s Hurricane
Infinity Edge	Guardian Angle	Quick Sliver	Ward

If your enemy team has too many tanky champions, you have to change your build path little bit counter them. For the first item Build blade of the Ruined King and Gluttonous Greaves as your second item. But, for the third item, build mortal reminder instead of Infinity Edge as it will give you +45 attack damage and +30% armor penetration. Mortal Reminder is the best AD (Attack Damage) item you can buy to counter tanks.

3. Jinx’s Item Build vs AP, AD Assassin

Blade of the Ruined King	Gluttonous Greaves	Stasis Enchant	Phantom Dancer
Infinity Edge	Guardian Angle	Runaan’s Hurricane	Ward

When your enemy team has an assassin champion like Zed, Fizz or Akali, you have to play very carefully as you will be their primary target as an AD Carry. To counter the enemy’s assassin champions build Stasis Enchant Boots as your second or third item. You can also build Phantom Dancer as your third item for more safe play as it will give you +35% attack speed, +25 critical rate, and grant you a shield when your HP falls below 35%.

If you are planning to become Jinx main, then you have to master her first ability Switcheroo wisely,

1. Jinx is a scaling champ like Vyne and Kai’sa. So, if your enemy team has champions like miss fortune and Draven, then avoid trades with them in the early game and focus on farming. 
2. Use Pow-pow minigun if the enemy is closer to you as it provides faster attack speed, which will help finish off enemies in close range.
3. Use Fishbone Rocket launcher to attack enemies in the distance. When you use the Fishbone Rocket launcher, it will reduce your mana and attack speed, so only use it when it is truly needed.
