Learn how to Janna counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Engage on Janna when her W (Zephyr) is on cooldown — this 6-8 second window removes her primary trading tool and slow, making her much more vulnerable.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Commit to all-in engages rather than short trades against Janna — her kit excels at winning brief exchanges with W poke and E shield, but struggles against sustained pressure once her cooldowns are used.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Attack Janna when her E (shield) is on cooldown (12-16 seconds) — she often waits for shield availability before trading, so punish her during this window.
Lane Phase
Save one crowd control ability to interrupt Janna's R channel — stopping her ultimate cancels all healing and puts it on a long cooldown.
Team Fight
Approach from multiple angles in team fights — Janna struggles to protect her team from flanks as her Q and R are most effective against frontal engages.
Advanced Team Fight
Be extra cautious when Janna's Q hasn't been used recently — a fully charged tornado has increased range, speed, and knockup duration, making it particularly disruptive to engages.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
Set up ambushes near objectives when Janna is warding — she's vulnerable when checking vision alone in mid to late game.
Advanced Late Game
When Janna's ultimate (Monsoon) knocks you back, immediately reposition and re-engage — the healing portion requires her to remain stationary, creating vulnerability.
