| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | At level 1 your W and passive out-poke Janna's single-target Q wind-up. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Your level-2 W-on-E burst threatens a kill before she has shields online. |
| Level 3 | Brand | At level 3 Pyroclasm-setup and Blaze damage keep her permanently pressured. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Through levels 4-5 your combo out-trades her weak poke every exchange. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Your level-6 Pyroclasm on a stunned target can one-shot her backline. |
| First item | Brand | First-item Blaze burn out-damages her Q poke and shield uptime. |
| Two+ items | Janna | At 2+ items Janna's Monsoon and Q disengage hard-counter your Pyroclasm all-in. |
You win the level 1-2 poke war outright: Janna's only damage is her Q wind-up and autos, while your W-on-E combo bursts her or her ADC before Eye of the Storm can cover them. Bully her off the wave and set up your ADC's first back with a lead.
