How to beat Janna

Common role: Support

A disengage enchanter who cancels every engage you press.

What makes Janna dangerous

Janna pokes with empowered autos, knocks up with a charged tornado, shields her carry with bonus AD, slows with zephyr, and her ultimate hurls the whole enemy team backward while healing — every dive you attempt gets undone.

How to play against Janna

• 1Bait the ult with a fake engage, then commit for real.
• 2All-in when the tornado is on cooldown — it's her main peel.
• 3Poke the shielded carry AFTER the shield drops, not into it.
• 4Hard CC her first: she's the squishiest target on the map.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Almost no kill threat of her own.
• ✓Every peel tool is a cooldown — count them and re-engage.
• ✓Extremely squishy when caught.
• ✓Her ult pushes enemies but also interrupts her own team's setup if mistimed.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Janna's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  テイルウィンド

  ジャンナに向かって移動する際、味方チャンピオンは移動速度が増加する。通常攻撃時効果および「ゼファー」で、増加移動速度の一定割合にあたる追加魔法ダメージを与える。

  Strong: free move speed for her and allies moving toward her. Weak: the bonus is passive value, not a tool — no counterplay needed.

• Q
  ハウリングゲイル

  大気を操り、小さな竜巻を生み出す。竜巻は時間とともに成長し、時間がたつか再度このスキルを使うことで指定方向へ直進して、進路上の敵ユニットにダメージとノックアップを与える。

  Strong: a charged tornado knock-up that cancels dashes and engages. Weak: charging telegraphs it — bait the release, then commit.

• W
  ゼファー

  風の精霊を召喚し、自動効果として移動速度が増加すると同時に、ユニットをすり抜けるようになる。発動すると対象に風の精霊を飛ばして、ダメージとスロウ効果を与える。

  Strong: point-click poke and slow for kiting. Weak: modest numbers — it's annoyance, not a kill threat.

• E
  ストームブレス

  対象に魔法の風を呼び寄せる。風はシールドとなって味方チャンピオンやタワーをダメージから守ると同時に、攻撃力を増加させる。

  Strong: an instant shield with bonus AD for the carry's trades. Weak: shields decay and cost mana — poke it out, then trade for real.

• R
  モンスーン

  魔法の嵐に包まれ、周囲の敵を吹き飛ばす。その後詠唱を続け、癒しの風によって範囲内の味方の体力を回復する。

  Strong: a huge AoE knockback plus healing — the ultimate anti-dive. Weak: it displaces, not kills — bait it with a feint, re-engage after.

Itemization

Layer your engage: burn her tornado and ult with the first wave, kill with the second. Never dive in one straight line.
