Countering Janna - Key Strategies

Laning Phase

• Watch for Janna's W and auto-attack poke pattern
• Trade aggressively when her E (shield) is on cooldown
• As melee champions, maintain proper positioning with your ADC
• Avoid extended trades; focus on all-in engages

Mid to Late Game

• Punish solo warding attempts near objectives
• Use flanking maneuvers to bypass her disengage abilities
• Build Executioner's Calling to counter her healing/shielding
• Look for opportunities when her W is on cooldown

Power Spike Windows

• Early game: Exploit before W has multiple points
• Mid game: Force engages before Ardent Censer completion
• Late game: Coordinate team fights when her abilities are on cooldown

• Sona
• Thresh
• Lulu
• Maokai

• Senna

Key Tips

• Focus on burst damage rather than sustained trades
• Coordinate ganks when her defensive abilities are down
• Position to minimize her poke damage while maintaining CS
• Use terrain to your advantage when engaging
• Track her item completions to anticipate power spikes
