Riftbound Preview Season just detonated its first Zaun champion, and it’s exactly the kind of chaotic spark you want. Jinx, Demolitionist slots in as a midrange bombshell—cheap enough to curve into and explosive enough to clear the board or close out a game when you need it.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Jinx, Demolitionist is a 3-cost, 4-power Champion Unit with dual-region Noxus–Zaun support and three killer keywords:
-
Accelerate (You may pay 1 red as an additional cost to have me enter ready.)
-
Assault 2 (+2 defense while I’m an attacker.)
-
Discard Trigger: When you play me, discard 2.
At base cost, she’s a sturdy 4/6 blocker that can launch surprise attacks with Assault 2. Pay an extra red, and she skips summoning sickness—immediately challenging the opponent’s board.
The discard-two trigger reads like a built-in ramp for discard synergies or hand-refill spells like Get Excited!
If you’re running Zaun’s graveyard engines, Jinx fuels them while providing a lethal tempo swing. It’s a high-risk, high-reward design: two cards in the bin for a ready-to-attack demolition expert.
Visuals
The artwork nails Jinx’s signature madness. Her braided hair whips behind her as she hefts a rocket launcher bristling with arcane and mechanical components.
The scorch marks and reflected muzzle flash highlight the moment just after a blast, and her defiant grin captures the thrill of mayhem. Behind her, the sky glows with orange haze, suggesting burning wreckage below.
The painterly contrast between the cool blue of her weapon’s energy core and the fiery backdrop amplifies her role as a walking bomb—controlled chaos made flesh.

As a champion unit tied to discard engines, Jinx, Demolitionist will be a draft and deckbuilding priority for any Zaun-focused strategy.
Collectors chasing signature champions will snag her foil pull for the dynamic art, and players will value the built-in synergy with discard-heavy builds.
If Zaun discard decks emerge in the meta, expect her value to spike accordingly.
Jinx, Demolitionist nails the “controlled chaos” niche: she demands cards but delivers board impact on par with any late-game finisher.
In a set all about tempo and surprise, she’s the kind of champion that can turn dead draws into a moment of pure, unpredictable havoc.
