Jinx's story

An unhinged and impulsive criminal from the undercity, Jinx is haunted by the consequences of her past—but that doesn't stop her from bringing her own chaotic brand of pandemonium to Piltover and Zaun. She uses her arsenal of DIY weapons to devastating effect, unleashing torrents of colorful explosions and gunfire, inspiring the disenfranchised to rebellion and resistance with the mayhem she leaves in her wake.
