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 Renata Glasc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.

  2. 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.

  3. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
