Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Dual Wield

    Prismatic

    Gain 20% total Attack Speed.

    Why on Jinx

    Extra Attack Speed lets you build Pow-Pow's stacking Attack Speed from Switcheroo! (Q) faster, so you reach full firing rate sooner in each fight.

  2. Lightning Strikes

    Gold

    Gain 20% total Attack Speed.

    Why on Jinx

    More Attack Speed makes Pow-Pow on Switcheroo! (Q) hit max stacks quicker, so you deal sustained damage earlier instead of slowly ramping up.

  3. Tap Dancer

    Prismatic

    Gain Attack Speed equal to 10% of your Move Speed.

    Why on Jinx

    The big Move Speed from Get Excited! (Passive) after a takedown also becomes extra Attack Speed, so each kill speeds up your attacks even more.
