Playing as Renata Glasc

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Shield and slow in one cast

    Cast Loyalty Program (E) through allies and enemies: its two missiles shield your allies and slow enemies by 30%.

  2. Throw your target where you want

    Recast Handshake (Q) to throw your target away from your carry, or into their allies: a thrown champion stuns the enemies they crash into.

  3. Bailout on the ally in danger

    Cast Bailout (W) on an ally about to die mid-fight: they return to full health, then lose it over 3 seconds unless they get a takedown.

  4. Turn their grouped carries berserk

    Cast Hostile Takeover (R) on their grouped carries: berserk, they attack the nearest unit, their own allies first.

Playing against Janna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
