boltJhin's Abilities

Demonstrating: Whisper

Whisper

Whisper carries 4 shots, fires at a fixed rate and must reload after the fourth. Bonus Attack Speed is converted into Attack Damage: Attack Damage scales with bonus Attack Speed (30%), Critical Rate (40%) and level (3% per level) (patch 7.3). Critical strikes deal 85% of normal critical strike damage (patch 7.3b). The fourth shot always critically strikes and deals bonus physical damage equal to 11.5%–25% of the target’s missing Health, reaching the cap at level 10 (patch 7.3b). Whenever Whisper crits, Jhin gains 14% (+0.44% per 1% bonus Attack Speed) Movement Speed for 2 seconds (patch 7.3).

Early Game

Levels 1–8

Whisper got a real buff in 7.3b. Crits now deal 85% of normal critical damage (was 80%), and the fourth shot’s missing-health damage now scales from 11.5% (was 11%) to 25%, reaching the cap at level 10 instead of 15. In lane this means the fourth shot threatens a kill much earlier, so count your bullets and walk up with it loaded. Trade when it is ready and the enemy marksman steps forward to last-hit; reload behind your minions, never in front of them. Deadly Flourish only roots a champion that you, an ally or a trap hit in the last 4 seconds, so fire it right after your support lands something or right after the fourth shot connects.

Reference build: The Collector → Infinity Edge → Rapid Firecannon → Lord Dominik's Regard → Immortal Shieldbow.
Summoner spells: Flash + Barrier.
Fourth shot, then Deadly Flourish: the shot counts as your hit, so the root lands even without your support. Keep Flash for divers; Barrier buys the second you need to finish a reload.

Late Game

Levels 9–15

You have the longest reach on your team, so play the edge of the fight. Put Captive Audience on the paths divers use to reach you, or on a flank before an objective: a trap that slows and reveals an assassin is worth more than one in the wave. Curtain Call is a channel and each shot stops on the first champion hit. Use it to finish someone running away or to soften the frontline before your team goes in, never while an assassin can still reach you. With the 7.3b change, the missing-health part of the fourth shot is already at 25% by level 10, so picking off a wounded carry becomes your main win condition in mid game.

Counters & Synergies

ADC · Tier S

shield_with_houseCounters

Samira

Once her support lands crowd control, her passive dashes her into attack range and your distance stops mattering. Hold Deadly Flourish for the moment she arrives and save the fourth shot for when she is close to her ultimate.

Lucian

His short dash and double shot punish every reload. Do not fire the fourth shot while he can answer it; reload behind minions and root him after Relentless Pursuit is spent.

Sivir

Spell Shield can eat Dancing Grenade, and her wave clear takes lane tempo away from you. Throw the grenade only when you can follow with the fourth shot; otherwise poke with basic attacks and wait.
