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
顺风而行迦娜的友军在朝她移动时获得移动速度。迦娜的普攻和【和风守护】会附带一部分额外移动速度的额外魔法伤害。
Strong: free move speed for her and allies moving toward her. Weak: the bonus is passive value, not a tool — no counterplay needed.
Q
飓风呼啸迦娜改变气压和温度,在目标区域召唤小型风暴,风暴体积随时间增大。她可以再次施放该技能来释放风暴。风暴会朝向施放方向飞行,对沿途的所有单位造成伤害和击飞效果。
Strong: a charged tornado knock-up that cancels dashes and engages. Weak: charging telegraphs it — bait the release, then commit.
W
和风守护迦娜召唤出一个空气元素灵体,来被动地提升她的移动速度,并使她能够穿越单位。她也可以主动激活这个技能,来对一个敌人造成伤害和减速效果。
Strong: point-click poke and slow for kiting. Weak: modest numbers — it's annoyance, not a kill threat.
E
风暴之眼迦娜制造出一阵防御性的气旋,来为目标友军或防御塔吸收即将到来的伤害,并提高目标的攻击力。
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
复苏季风迦娜召唤魔法风暴围绕自己,将敌人击退。在风暴平息后,当技能仍处在激活状态时,和风将治疗附近的友军。
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.
