Playing as Janna

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Rell

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when she speeds up

    Back off as soon as she speeds up toward you: Full Tilt (E) doubles her move speed toward enemies, and her next auto explodes.

  2. Don't count on a shield

    Don't count on a shield against her: Shattering Strike (Q) breaks all shields and stuns every unit in its line.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when she gets into melee range: Magnet Storm (R) violently pulls nearby enemies in, then keeps dragging them toward her.

  4. Move away once she's on foot

    Move away from her once she's on foot: after Ferromancy: Crash Down (W), she's slowed, but gains armor and magic resist.
