Playing as Janna
Tips to maximize your impact
- Release your tornado early to peel
To peel, send Howling Gale (Q) right away by recasting it: charged, it travels farther and its knock-up lasts longer, but enemies have time to dodge it.
- Shield your carry before trades
Cast Eye Of The Storm (E) on your carry right before they trade: while the shield holds, they gain AD.
- Poke with Zephyr
Poke with Zephyr (W) in lane: it slows and damages its target, and Tailwind (passive) adds damage based on your bonus move speed.
- Knock back, then stand still
Cast Monsoon (R) to push away whoever dives your carry, then stand still: moving or casting a spell cancels the heal.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't trade into her shield
Avoid trading while her ally has Eye Of The Storm (E): the shield absorbs your damage and gives them AD.
- Engage twice
Bait out Howling Gale (Q) or Monsoon (R) with a first engage, then re-engage right away: one has a 14-second cooldown, the other 130 to 100 seconds.
- Cancel her Monsoon heal
If you have CC, save it for Monsoon (R): after the knockback, she heals her allies as long as she stands still, and interrupting her cancels the heal.
