Note: The episode started being written around the time Arcane was airing, so notes from Jinx's abilities in that show where largely added into the main script directly rather than having been written down here.
Background
Name: Jinx (The Arcane TV show that her actual name is “Powder”)
Nicknames:
The Loose Cannon
Not much is known about Jinx or where she came from. When you ask the older locals of Zaun about anyone who matches her description, they usually think of a girl who is anything but the dangerous blue haired, hot-pink loving criminal that is the current thorn in Piltover’s side. They usually describe a sweet and innocent girl who had big ideas, was a tinkerer that liked to build, but unfortunately came to a bad end. Whoever that little girl was, and why she would become the explosive lunatic of today is anybody’s guess.
Jinx’s tirade of “pranks'' would range from moderately annoying to criminally dangerous, particularly to those on people with connections to wealthy merchant clans. She let out a stampede of exotic animals on the streets of Piltover, changed the street signs all over Piltover to new and utterly confusing places and blew up civic art structures erected by Piltover clans in fiery chemtech explosives until dawn. For a lot of people in Zaun, she was someone who represented the vengeful nature of Zaun against the Pilties who would not help support the toxic underground. Even though she represents an agent of chaos, it was clear she was negatively affecting Piltover’s money, bringing the city’s orderly bustle to a screeching halt. In a short amount of time, Piltover quickly became a city of crime. While Piltover’s citizens and law enforcement were sick of Jinx and her many pranks, much of the criminal empire back in Zaun idolized her, inspiring copy-cat crimes among the chem-punks that thrived there. With people mistaking whether or not Jinx was the one committing certain crimes, she always made an effort in being present for her crimes.
While Jinx is prone to creating panic in her wake, she doesn’t seem to take pleasure in killing people. Even when she blew up much of the merchant civic buildings of Piltover, no one was hurt. Even when she was granted the choice to kill people in an explosion she felt remorseful for the possibility of doing so… after blowing up the building anyways of course, but thankfully everyone walked out of it safe, so she didn’t have to learn anything. This was of course in part to the Yordle Ziggs, who befriended Jinx due to their mutual enjoyment of blowing stuff up, which thankfully for the most part is directed at buildings. Acting as her moral compass, he showed her that killing people is wrong, and Jinx would even extend him to come live in Zaun to blow stuff up there instead.
Much of her wild antics would purposely goad Piltover Enforcer Vi into coming in and taking her out herself, but not much is known on why Jinx is so obsessed with her. Vi herself doesn’t understand why, but all she cares about is being there personally to lock her up for good.
Equipment
Pow-Pow
Jinx’s hot pink, cat themed mini-gun. Can seemingly shoot an infinite amount of ammo, seeing as it never has to reload both in gameplay or cinematics.
Fishbones
A shark themed rocket launcher that can fire chemtech explosives. Chemtech, which performs like Hextech, is far more dangerous, toxic and explosive. From it she can fire a SUPER MEGA DEATH ROCKET which gains more damage the farther it travels, dealing damage to an enemy based on how much missing HP they have left. Her Rocket Launcher Fishbones can also fly. She’s used it to fly on more than one occasion. She also loves to use her own missiles to fly as well. Like, a lot.
Zapper
Jinx’s shock pistol. This weapon can slow and stun enemies.
Flame Chompers
Snare grenades that explode after 5 seconds, lighting enemies on fire. Flame Chompers will bite enemy champions who walk over them, rooting them in place like a bear trap. They can also explode on impact.
In the Wild Rift Trailer, Jinx uses a teleporting tablet to collect several champions all over Runeterra. She forcefully grabs Lux from Demacia by grabbing her and putting her into the portal, showing that not only can she use it to get around but use it to get the jump on people. She also grabs Blitzcrank from Zaun, Yasuo from Ionia, and Teemo from Bandle City.
Something worth noting is that a hex crystal (crystalized magic) is seemingly within the middle of the item, making this item Hextech which is a fusion of magic and technology. Hex crystals are capable of replacing body parts, stopping time etc.
Summoner Spells
Technically speaking, each champion has access to all of these summoner spells in the game. However, you can only bring two summoner spells into battle. There are spells each champion is likely to use, though there are spells that are considered “competitive” and are usually always used by each champion, like Flash which is a short distance teleport. The League of Legends home website links to 3 different kit building sites to help focus Jinx’s arsenal based on how players traditionally play her. This website Probuilds is one of the sites that is linked, and here it lists her top 4 used spells.
Restores 90-345 health (depending on champion level) and grants 30% movement speed for 1 second to you and targets allied champions. This unit is halved for units recently affected by Summoner Heal. (240 second cooldown)

Blind – When a unit has been blinded, this will cause them to miss their basic attacks for a short duration of time.

Airborne – A champion that is airborne is unable to cast abilities, move, attack, or use item actives for a short duration.
Knock Back – A knockback will cause the enemy to be made airborne in a direction away from the point of cast. The duration depends on how far the champion is knocked back – it can be anywhere from 0.75 seconds to 1.5 seconds.
Knock Aside – When a champion uses knock aside, the enemy will be airborne in a perpendicular direction to the cast’s direction.
Pull: If you use this CC on an enemy champion, it will pull them in the cast’s direction.

Deals 300 - 1000 true damage (depending on champion level) to target epic, large or medium monster or enemy minion. Restores Health based on your maximum life when used against monsters. (15 second cooldown)
Runes help to focus a champion's abilities better so they have better progression into their fights. Each rune has several different paths and abilities you can bring into a fight. Each champion has a primary and secondary rune.
Precision Runes (Primary)
(A primary pick for Jinx players 54% of the time) Two other Websites show Precision runes are highly chosen. (1) (2) These runes are meant for AD Carries (ADC) champions (usually marksman roles which Jinx inhabits) who is attack damage (Physical damage) and is the main damage dealer of the team.
Can only choose one from each section of runes:
Section One:
Press the Attack: Hitting an enemy champion 3 consecutive times makes them vulnerable, dealing bonus damage and causing them to take more damage from all sources for 6s.
Lethal Tempo: 1.5s after damaging a champion gain a large amount of attack speed. Lethal Tempo allows you to temporarily exceed the attack speed limit.
Fleet Footwork: Attacking and moving builds Energy stacks. At 100 stacks, your next attack heals you and grants increased MS.
Conqueror: After 4 seconds in combat, your first attack an enemy champion grants you 10-35 AD, based on level, for 3 seconds and converts 20% of your damage to champions to true damage.

Legendary Items
As soon as you start a match in League of Legends, under the recommended tab, you have the option to purchase several types of items over the course of the match. These are under a section referred to as “Commonly Built.”
This “Commonly Built” Section constantly changes the more you purchase from the commonly built section. These were all the items available right as soon as you open the shop. These items are specifically recommended to Jinx as soon as you open the shop.
Sepsis: Dealing physical damage applies 40% Grievous Wounds to enemy champions for 3 seconds. Dealing 3 consecutive Attacks to an enemy champion enhances this effect to 60% Grievous Wounds against them until the effect is allowed to elapse. Grievous Wounds reduces the effectiveness of Healing and Regeneration effects.
Spectral Waltz: Attacks grant Ghosting and 7% Move Speed for 3 seconds. In addition, Attacking 4 times causes Spectral Waltz to also grant 30% Attack Speed for the same duration. Ghosted units ignore collisions with other units. You can walk through enemies but still get hit.. Somehow. This is more than likely a gameplay limitation to balance the game, since in cutscene it allows a character named Raze to run through crashing rubble.

Strength & Destructive Power
League of Legends Boards: This is a message board that Riot had started years ago that closed down last year, but was used to announce official news to fans.
Jinx’s sister Vi uses Gauntlets that add over 8000 pounds to her total weight, meaning bare minimum Vi has 4000 pounds on each arm. Jinx regularly fights Vi and can contend with her physical strength.
An Official League of Legends poster made by the developers at Riot depicts Jinx and Vi squaring off in close quarters
In the wild rift trailer, Jinx blasts Zed, Malphite, Braum, Ahri and Camille with a Super Mega Death Rocket. The blast occurs far away but them not immediately moving after getting hit should mean they all in some way got hurt. You can also see them wince in the distance of the trailer before the rocket explodes.
In order to hurt Braum, that would mean her weapons can do damage enough to hurt a man who can shake a mountain with his bare hands/
Her sister and Kayn can erupt from this explosion just fine and Jinx fights Vi all the time and blew up Kayn no issue
Darius survives an explosive force that wipes away a portion of a forest
Urgot is portrayed as being able to harm all of these champions, which includes Braum and Malphite, and Vi is capable of holding her own against him
Generally speaking, especially with a lot of the same names showing up in the list above, all of these human Runterrans are capable of fighting one another pretty evenly, and are depicted as such in various cinematics and comics. This is especially apparent being that the point of the game is for one reason or another, all of these characters are capable of fighting each other.
Speed & Reactions
Wild Rift:
Can dodge attacks and surprise attack Ahri, who was able to land a hit on Darius even after he reacted to a beam from the sun
Just One More
Her Missiles can fire as fast as Lux’s beam of light
Durability & Stamina
Vi’s abilities on her homepage portray her punching Jinx with gauntlets.
Jinx can tank a punch from Vi under “Blast Shield”
Jinx can tank a charged punch from “Vault Breaker”
Jinx can tank “Denting Blow” punches
Jinx can tank “Excessive Force” blows
Jinx can tank “Assault and Battery”
Caitlyn’s abilities all have Jinx as the character getting attacked. They also frequently get into fights.
Can tank her and ziggs explosives exploding in her face
Jinx’s bio also indicate she is capable of matching Vi in combat
“When Vi heard pandemonium erupt from inside the structure, she knew the wardens had been outclassed once again. She burst into the treasury, and the ensuing confrontation left the Ecliptic Vaults a smoldering ruin, and the merry mischief maker Jinx nowhere to be found.”
This is furter supporter with official artwork depicting their fights
Can match her sister in combat who can take hits from Darius
Skill, Intelligence & Other
Jinx can regularly escape the Piltovan police force. Her weapons seem to be custom made, and she’s even dabbled in building and tinkering with her weapons before, especially given that old locals in Zaun remember her as someone who liked to build. She was able to bring an entire city to screeching halt in one day alone with her carefully planted explosives.
She can also regularly fight with the Piltover Enforcer Vi, who adopts a sort of boxing fighting style given her past and her pension for using huge gauntlets to fight. Jinx also grew up watching Vi fight and has even adopted her fighting style.
Weaknesses
She can be very self destructive to the point of getting herself hurt purposely by her own explosives. She also has a lot of trauma that in-game characters who use fear seem to poke at in an attempt to mess with her.
