Janna combos

the Storm's Fury

3 Janna combos explained key by key: in which order to cast the abilities, when to use them and what each step does. The main combo is W › AA › Q. Further down: every ability's cooldown, cost and range, and the skill max order measured over ranked games.

Janna combos

Harassment

W › AA AA › Q

When: An enemy is within Zephyr range.

Zephyr deals damage and slows the enemy, your passive adds damage tied to your bonus movement speed, then recast Howling Gale.

Protection

E › W

When: Your carry is under threat.

Eye Of The Storm protects an allied champion or a turret from damage and raises their attack damage.

The defensive ultimate

R › Q › E

When: Enemies dive your team.

Monsoon pushes enemies far away; the last breezes heal nearby allies as long as the ability is active.

Common mistakes

• Casting Howling Gale without charging it when you can.
• Using the ultimate too early: its healing depends on its duration.
• Placing Eye Of The Storm on a target who is not fighting.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.

Official ability descriptions

PassiveTailwind

Janna's allies gain Move Speed moving towards her.

Janna deals a portion of bonus Move Speed as bonus magic damage on hit and with Zephyr.

QHowling Gale

By creating a localized change in pressure and temperature, Janna is able to create a small storm that grows in size with time. She can activate the spell again to release the storm. On release this storm will fly towards the direction it was cast in, dealing damage and knocking away any enemies in its path.

WZephyr

Janna summons an air elemental that passively increases her Move Speed and enables her to pass through units. She may also activate this ability to deal damage and slow an enemy's Move Speed.

EEye Of The Storm

Janna conjures a defensive gale that shields an ally champion or turret from incoming damage and increases their Attack Damage.

RMonsoon

Janna surrounds herself in a magical storm, throwing enemies back. After the storm has settled, soothing winds heal nearby allies while the ability is active.

Riot's official tips for playing Janna

• Eye of the Storm can be used on allied turrets.
• Quickly firing a Howling Gale without the charge up can be used to heavily disable the other team.
• Timing Janna's ultimate can push enemies away from a wounded ally or even separate enemies.

How to play around Janna's combos

• Save an interrupt ability for when Janna uses her ultimate.
• Listen for the charge up sound on Howling Gale in case Janna is trying to hit you with it from off screen or from brush.
• Janna's at her strongest when buffing another ally. If you can harass her ally, it will weaken her ability to fight you.
