Overview

Jenos is one of the strongest supports in the current meta, being able to heal up to three allies at once, and granting them a 15% damage amplification. His ability to heal through walls allows him to play extremely safely, he has a movement speed boost to quickly escape danger, and a powerful ultimate capable of turning a teamfight in your favor.

Loadout

For Jenos's loadout, the cards Retrograde and Astral Cycle are more or less mandatory at 5. This gives you the maximum uptime on your marks, making them last 2.5 seconds longer, and removing 2.5 seconds from the cooldown. Lightyears is typically your level 3 card, giving you some extra range. On larger maps, I tend to run Lightyears on 4, and Astral Cycle at 4, sacrificing some of the duration for the extra 10% range. For your level 1 cards, you usually want Relativity, your self-healing card (this is fine at 1 because Jenos is such a safe healer) and any level 1 you would like. I prefer to run Heavenly Pull for the extra Void Grip range, it comes in handy quite often.

Talents

In a high level of play, you want to be running Luminary every time. Jenos doesn't have burst healing, or very high healing output overall, but his ability to grant bonus damage is second to none, and is literally the only thing making him viable in the current meta. Binary Star hardly changes your overall DPS, and Power Cosmeum just isn't worth giving up the damage amp for.

Items

With Jenos, you usually want to build into Chronos. Once you have Chronos 3, you can look into Haven or Blast Shields if you are being poked at often, Nimble if you are being pressured, and Morale Boost if you are not being pressured and allowed to freefire from the backline. If your team doesn't have much Caut, it's a good idea for you to grab some as well, due to Jenos's hitscan weapon he is quite good at applying Caut.

Gameplay Tips

A very important thing to remember when playing Jenos is your heal rotation. In the early game, you will be able to have two marks up at a time, and once you get to Chronos 2, you can keep up 3. You need to be aware of who is marked, when they were last marked, and who is about to run out. You want to avoid healing someone twice in a row, and try to avoid healing people who are out of combat. Your heals are most effective on people in or entering combat, so they can take advantage of the dmg amp you can apply. It's ok to let somone heal up out of combat, if you are focusing heals on your allies currently fighting. Your Grip is a very useful tool to single out an enemy champ, and focus them down. It is important to remember that the use of a movement ability breaks the Grip, so it is best to Grip an enemy once you know they have used it. It also important to note that Grip will cancel Andro dashes and Ash's charge. Jenos's highest skill ceiling ability is his ultimate. It can either be a complete wiff, or change the course of a game. Jenos's ult is very good to throw down passages where you know the enemy can not escape, into common lanes of approach at the beginning of a midfight, and into tight point fights, close to the end of the capture. Also, I like to use it to flush a Barik out from under a Dome Shield. It will do a good chunk of damage to the Turret, and the Barik will be forced to either leave the shield to avoid it, or just eat the 2400 damage.

Hey, my name is Riley, and I go by nadallama in-game and on discord, I'm a huge fan of the game and have been playing for a few years now. I have fallen in love with the community around this game, and plan to stick around as long as possible!
