Jinx is here—and in typical fashion, she’s not waiting her turn.
This is the first discard-synergy aggro Champion we’ve seen in Riftbound so far, and she doesn’t just reward reckless play—she runs on it.
At 5 cost, she’s a mid-game bomb with late-game carry potential in the right list. And yeah, she’s exactly as chaotic as you’d expect from Zaun’s most iconic rebel.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
The rules are simple: discard one or more cards, and Jinx readies and gains +1 power until end of turn. That’s it.
Every discard turns her into a faster, stronger, more dangerous threat.
Unlike most 5-cost drops that hit once and wait, Jinx breaks tempo rules and punishes anyone expecting a clean trade.
That “ready” trigger is the real problem—for your opponent. It means she can swing again immediately.
Get two discards in a single turn? You’ve just given her +2 and two swings.
Stack it with hand-emptying spells like Invert Timelines, and this girl becomes an engine. In discard-aggro builds, Jinx could be the endgame condition wrapped in mid-game timing.
She also doesn’t require setup on board. The payoff is solo. That’s a big deal for champions. Most ask you to build around them. Jinx just asks for chaos—and rewards you with raw, repeatable pressure.
Visuals
The art sells the vibe completely. She’s carving something explosive with a smirk that says she already knows how it ends.
The pink light, the heavy shadows, the casual grip on a green blade—it’s unstable in the best way.
You get the sense that the card isn’t just powerful—it’s one step away from spiraling out of control, and that’s exactly what makes it dangerous.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
-
Set Number: OGN 202/298
-
Rarity: Almost certainly a rare or higher. Champions tend to land there, and with a reusable aggressive trigger, Jinx has collector heat behind her.
-
Foil Potential: Extremely high. The glow from her weapon, the tone of the lighting, and her hair alone would look insane in foil.
-
Chase Factor: High. Discard decks are already looking meta-relevant. Add the visual appeal and League fandom? Jinx is going to be a popular open, even if you’re not playing aggro.
Jinx isn’t just a power play. She’s a pressure system.
If you’re the kind of player who discards for fun and lives in the red zone, you’re going to love breaking the rules with her.
Just don’t expect to play nice—and definitely don’t expect her to stop swinging.
