Playing the duo

Time Warp(E) can slow a target for Jhin's Deadly Flourish(W) or speed Jhin for a chase or escape, while Chronoshift(R) can revive him if he takes lethal damage.

How to play as Jhin

Let Zilean start a catch with Time Warp(E) or a double Time Bomb(Q) stun, then follow with Deadly Flourish(W) and your 4th shot; use his speed-up to reposition between shots or retreat after the trade.

How to play as Zilean

Keep the early lane measured while Zilean is weak before level 3. After that, use Time Warp(E) to slow a target for Jhin's Deadly Flourish(W), and save Chronoshift(R) for the enemy's lethal burst rather than casting it too early.
