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 Renata Glasc
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.
- Step up after a missed Handshake
Step up when Handshake (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 16-second cooldown at every rank.
- Target her: she has no dash
If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.
- Spread out from your carries
Spread out from your allies when she casts Hostile Takeover (R): berserk, you attack the nearest unit, your allies first.
- Don't hand them a kill
When an enemy survives thanks to Bailout (W), back off rather than offer a kill: they lose their health over 3 seconds, and only a takedown saves them.
