| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | You spike to Level 2 first and your fire-zone trade beats Janna's shield-only defense. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At Level 2 your W chain plus ADC follow-up threatens a kill Janna can't answer. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Level 3 your two spell trees out-poke Janna's passive lane with no trade-back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Levels 4-5 you can throw skillshots freely since Janna can't punish whiffs like an engager. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Level 6 Spiraling Despair adds a second burst tree while Monsoon only saves. |
| First item | Hwei | First item your QW poke shreds Janna's small mana pool and pushes her off the wave. |
| Two+ items | Janna | Two-plus items Janna's Monsoon and Q peel reset your combos and disengage your all-ins. |
You own Levels 1-2: reach Level 2 first and your W-into-E fire zone out-trades a Janna who has only Eye of the Storm to mitigate a single instance. Poke the enemy ADC every time they walk up and Janna bleeds mana fast keeping a shield up.
