Janna Tips and Tricks

Your mindset throughout the game should be to keep your ADC alive at all costs. Stay close to them and use everything in your kit to protect them. If needed, use your Ultimate to knock back enemies attempting to engage. Never leave your team's side or wander too far away, as Janna is essential for keeping her teammates safe. If this means delaying a ward or avoiding an objective, it is better to stay with your team rather than risk getting caught alone. In lane, use your W and auto attacks to harass the enemy whenever possible. A good way to poke is by waiting for the enemy to use an ability, then walking up to auto-attack once before using your W.

Situational Janna Runes and Items

Depending on your game context, matchup, and enemy champions, you may need to adjust your items or runes. Carefully consider your team composition, the enemy team, and the game state when planning your Janna build. For example, if facing an opponent with high Magic damage, you may want to take Magic Resist in your rune shards, or choose Armor against a team with heavy physical damage.
