Jhin

Jhin is a meticulous criminal psychopath who believes murder is art. Once an Ionian prisoner, but freed by shadowy elements within Ionia's ruling council, the serial killer now works as their cabal's assassin. Using his gun gun as his paintbrush, Jhin creates works of artistic brutality, horrifying victims and onlookers. He gains a cruel pleasure from putting on his gruesome theater, making him the ideal choice to send the most powerful of messages: terror.

Jhin as a survivor is meant to deliver a low APM, high damage experience. He has high damage scaling, but lacks sufficient means to deal with large groups of enemies.

I am by no means a RoR2 Guru, so things are likely to be either under or overpowered. If you have any concerns or feedback, please feel free to reach out via a discord channel I made specifically for things like this: https://discord.gg/RSs2kA7yRu

Features

• Unique scaling and ammo system iconic to Jhin's playstyle in League of Legends
• Animations from League, with custom animations to bridge the difference in game styles
• SFX and VFX based on which skin you use (see the table below for what is implemented)[^skinFX]
• Item Display support up to Alloyed Collective[^itemDisplay]
• Highly configurable, change most values of the mod to your liking!

Potential Future Features

Features I would like to add, should I have the motivation to continue working on this

• More Custom VFX
• Optional VO for ambient or key events, like Jhin's counting or whistling when idle
• A Utility overhaul to combine Deadly Flourish with the unimplemented Captive Audience[^utilityOverhaul]

Stats[^armorFootnote]

Skills

Please note that skill values and effects may change over the course of this mod's lifespan, and the images displayed here may not reflect those changes.

Primary

Whisper has a unique ammo and reload system, utilizing shots represented by the tally marks and a reload timer represented by the ring. Jhin reloads after the 4th shot, or after 10 seconds without firing. Casting any skill will reset the automatic reload timer and interrupt a reload when you have bullets left.

Utility

Deadly Flourish is a simple beam attack that stuns every enemy it hits. Additionally, any marked enemies are rooted. Hits trigger Jhin's movespeed passive as if he had landed a crit, with double the duration.

Skins

Each skin may have its own unique SFX and VFX. Creating these assets for each is a painfully tedious process, and as such, only some skins will have support. The others are currently WiP, though VFX is a more long term project on its own.

Skin	Available	Unique SFX	Unique VFX
High Noon
Blood Moon
SKT T1
Project
Dark Cosmic	[^legendary]
Shan Hai Scrolls
DWG
Empyrean
Soul Fighter
Mythmaker	[^legendary]
Arcana
Dark Cosmic and Mythmaker are not possible with the default skin setup. If I get curious, I may look into a custom setup to allow unique animations on skins but at the moment that is too much effort.

Known Issues

Bugs can be reported under Github Issues, or through my Discord: https://discord.gg/RSs2kA7yRu

• [Multiplayer] Last I checked, the mod had some major issues with multiplayer involving CROSSPLAY. I am unsure if this is currently the case though, I do not have the means to properly test it.
• [Multiplayer] To non-local players (anybody viewiwng another player on Jhin), the fourth shot will occassionally fail, producing visual desync. This never happens to the local Jhin, and only results in a visual issue that eventually fixes itself. I'm not sure what causes this exactly yet, though I believe it might be a race condition or a floating point error
• [Multiplayer] SFX/VFX Override applies to ALL Jhins. This is not intended but requires networking the dynamic SFX/VFX system or at the very least separating the local player from everyone else, so it is not currently a priority

[^skinFX]: There is also the option to override which set of SFX or VFX to use in the config. These do not require a restart.

[^itemDisplay]: Some items with minimal or lackluster visuals, such as Leeching Seed, are simply hidden. I simply could not find extra space to place certain items without non-sensically placing them around the cloak.

[^utilityOverhaul]: See 'ToDO.txt' on github for details

[^legendary]: As far as I know, skins in RoR2 do not support custom animation overrides, so unfortunately Legendary skins are not possible without a duplicate survivor. It may be possible with some custom code, but at the moment there is nothing in the works.
