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.
Playing against Milio
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge his fireball
Dodge Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q): it knocks you back, then explodes behind you and slows you.
- Back off when the campfire's up
Back off when Cozy Campfire (W) follows his carry: they gain attack range and restore health over time.
- Save a CC for after his R
If your team has several CC spells, save one for after Breath of Life (R): it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from his nearby allies.
- Go for Milio first
If you can reach him, go for Milio first, especially away from his allies: he has no dash or leap, and without him, his carry loses shields, heals and range.
