Janna's Abilities

Ability	Threat	What It Means For You
	Low	She moves faster toward allies. Don't bother chasing her unless she is heavily slowed by .
	High	Knocks you up and interrupts your dash. Never detach to proc if this is charging nearby.

Lane Phase

Lvl 1-5

→Focus on landing to stack your Manaflow Band and gold item.
→Only detach for if you see has already been released elsewhere.
→Use reactively when Janna walks up to use on your ADC.
→Keep the wave near your tower; Janna is excellent at setting up ganks with slows.

Lvl 6+Power spike

→Avoid using until after Janna uses , or you risk being interrupted if you're not careful with positioning.
→Janna will likely roam with her high move speed; ping 'Missing' immediately as you cannot safely follow her.
→If your jungler ganks, lead with to slow so they can't easily dodge with bonus speed.

Trading Patterns

Safe Poke

Guide around the wave to hit the enemy ADC → back to Best Friend if you were detached.

Punish

When is on cooldown (high early CD), land on the ADC to allow your ally to get a free auto-attack trade.

All-in

Land for the slow → trigger while attached → spam for attack speed → Ignite if the target is low.

Respect

•
tornado — If it hits you while you are mid-dash with , it puts the ability on a 5-second cooldown and you will die.
•
displacement — She can knock your ADC into her tower or away from a kill, and it cancels your value.
•
poke — In the early levels, her + Auto attack deals significant damage to your ADC's health bar.
•
Roaming potential — She can reach mid-lane in seconds thanks to ; your mid-laner will be at a constant disadvantage.

Punish

•
is wasted — Detach briefly to proc for the shield and mana restoration.
•
is down — Use immediately on the enemy ADC as they have no damage mitigation.
•
She roams — Hard ping your team and try to force a 2v1 trade on the enemy ADC while she is gone.
•
Post-6 jungle gank — Wait for her to use first, then use to re-engage and lock them down.

Wave Management

Early

Let them push. Yuumi is safest under tower, and Janna cannot easily dive you without a massive lead.

Post-6

Keep the wave in the middle. If you push too hard, Janna's and make it very easy for their jungler to run you down.
