Janna Support guide

Janna support peels and pokes from range: Eye Of The Storm (E) shields an ally champion or turret from incoming damage and raises their Attack Damage, Zephyr (W) passively boosts her Move Speed and lets her pass through units while its active bolt slows a target, and Howling Gale (Q) charges into a knockback storm she releases down a lane.

The build

Rune page: Summon Aery, Manaflow Band, Celerity, and Gathering Storm (Sorcery), with Revitalize and Font of Life (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Heal. Skill priority is Zephyr (W), Eye Of The Storm (E), then Howling Gale (Q), opening W at level 1. Starter: two Health Potions, into Boots of Swiftness. Core build: Moonstone Renewer, Redemption, and Shurelya's Battlesong, with Dream Maker, Ardent Censer, and Dark Seal as later options.

Ability mechanics

Howling Gale (Q) grows in size the longer Janna holds it before releasing it, then flies toward the cast direction, damaging and knocking away any enemies it passes through. Zephyr (W) summons an air elemental that passively raises her Move Speed and lets her pass through units, and can be activated to deal damage and slow an enemy. Monsoon (R) surrounds her in a storm that throws nearby enemies back, then heals nearby allies as it settles.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Thresh, Senna, Leona, Seraphine, Nautilus. Best matchups: Karma, Nami, Lulu.
