summary
This article is a video (patch 15.1b compliant) by popular TFT commentator “云顶风向标” from bilibili, translated by Scilla and summarized on this website.
The themes are explained in detail, including the ideal power-up in gin, synergy with Striker Flail, comparison with other power-ups, and even the optimal solution for equipment configuration.
Contents
The “Spirit Sword,” the most powerful power-up for Jin


effect
- Additional 40% magic damage when a normal attack is a critical hit
- Plus +20% critical rate
Compatibility with Striker Flail
- A Jhin equipped with two Striker’s Flails gains +20% damage from a single shot.
Due to the hidden effect of Spear of Hirana, the Striker’s Flail triggers twice. - As a result, it behaves as if four critical hits occur from a single shot.
Optimal equipment solution for Djinn

- Ideally, choose 3 of the following 5 AD items depending on the situation
- Infinity Edge, Death Blade, Giant Slayer, Last Whisper, Striker Flail
- Equipment to avoid: Guinsaw Rage Blade
- Need 22 seconds to catch up with damage from AD items
- The data shows a 0.24 worsening of the average ranking, which is a trap equipment.

Which is better, the spirit sword or the artistic KO?

Artistic KO
- Effect: +40% additional damage for every 4th normal attack
- Low frequency of activation and limited effectiveness
spirit sword
- Effect: +40% magic damage on normal critical attack
+20% Critical Rate - Djinn base critical rate 25% + IE 35% + Striker Flail 20% = 100% confirmed critical rate
- 40% additional magic damage applied to all attacks with no attenuation
Damage Comparison

- Spirit Sword: Activated by all attacks
- Artistic KO: only activated once every 4 shots
⇒As a result of verification, it was confirmed that the total damage was about 24% more for the spirit sword.
Comparison with other power-ups

extermination
- Effect: +12% damage dealt, increases to +28% after kill
- Evaluation: Significantly inferior to the spirit sword in terms of firepower level
A Hero’s Story
- Effect: Damage dealt +40.5% at Lv. 9
- Calculation method: Added to other damage-increasing effects
→ Lower efficiency than multiplier effects such as the Spirit Sword - Exception: When reaching lvl 10, the firepower is comparable to that of the Spirit Sword.
Stormbender (the only one that exists alongside the Spirit Sword)

- Effect: Use the equipped person’s critical judgment twice.
- Example: Champion with 80% critical rate possesses
→ 25% base storm damage x 132% expected critical damage
→ Critical damage is equivalent to an independent increase in damage of approximately 33%.
Critical damage expected value is the expected rate of increase in damage per damage calculated from the criticality rate and critical damage. - Evaluation:
- Most broken & versatile in current version
- By design, 22 champions can benefit.
summary
- Optimal power-up in Djinn: Spirit Sword > Stormbender > (large difference) others
- Equip yourself with 3 types of attacks and avoid Guinsaw at all costs.
- Extremely compatible with Striker Flail, which can significantly increase instantaneous firepower
impression
This commentary by 云顶风向标 was not just a “recommended introduction,” but through actual numerical verification and analysis of in-game behavior, he theorized and explained why the Spirit Sword is the strongest in djinn!
The hidden synergy with Striker Flail and the 24% total damage difference with Artistic KO are especially shocking.
He also touches on powerful alternatives like Stormbender, and I feel that the content shows at a glance ” what to choose for the optimal configuration “.
This is a must-read discussion for players who have Jinri Roll in their hands!

Calculation and verification are important…
