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
Brisa de ImpulsoOs aliados de Janna recebem Velocidade de Movimento ao se moverem em direção a ela. Janna causa uma parte da Velocidade de Movimento adicional como Dano Mágico adicional ao contato com Zéfiro.
Strong: free move speed for her and allies moving toward her. Weak: the bonus is passive value, not a tool — no counterplay needed.
Q
Ventania UivanteAtravés de uma alteração pontual de temperatura e pressão, Janna consegue criar uma pequena tempestade que cresce em tamanho ao longo do tempo. Ela pode ativar a habilidade novamente para desferir a tempestade. Ao ser desferida, a tempestade se desloca em linha reta na direção em que foi conjurada, causando dano e arremessando ao ar quaisquer inimigos em seu caminho.
Strong: a charged tornado knock-up that cancels dashes and engages. Weak: charging telegraphs it — bait the release, then commit.
W
ZéfiroJanna invoca um elemental do ar que aumenta passivamente sua Velocidade de Movimento e permite que ela atravesse unidades. Ela também pode ativar essa habilidade para causar dano e Lentidão a um inimigo.
Strong: point-click poke and slow for kiting. Weak: modest numbers — it's annoyance, not a kill threat.
E
Olho da TempestadeJanna conjura uma ventania defensiva que protege um Campeão ou torre aliada do dano recebido e aumenta seu Dano de Ataque.
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
MonçãoJanna se cerca de uma tempestade mágica, empurrando inimigos para trás. Assim que a tempestade se estabelece, ventos suaves curam os aliados próximos enquanto a habilidade estiver ativa.
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.
