Read from Janna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lulu.
This is Janna's own plan; across 8,892 pooled games the lane is leaning Janna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | Lulu wins level 1 because her double-bolt Glitterlance out-ranges and out-pokes your single Q. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | Lulu wins level 2 as Pix-empowered Glitterlance plus her E shield-poke beat any walk-up you attempt. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | Lulu holds level 3 since her sustained poke and shield grind your carry while you can only farm safely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lulu | Lulu keeps levels 4-5 because her uninterrupted poke war outdamages your reactive kit before ultimates. |
| Level 6 | Janna | You take level 6 as Monsoon disengages any all-in she enables and trumps her defensive Wild Growth. |
| First item | Janna | You win first item because your AoE R and knock-up out-value her single-target peel in fights. |
| Two+ items | Janna | You own 2+ items since Monsoon blows her whole team off your carry while her R saves only one ally. |
Levels 1-4 belong to Lulu: her double-bolt Glitterlance out-ranges your single Q, and her E gives both poke and a shield, so you lose the raw poke war and should farm safely behind your E rather than contest her. Her double bolt out-ranges your single poke and her shield covers both of them, so stop contesting and play the disengage instead. Shield through the chip. Hold the tornado for the moment she steps forward, and let your carry farm rather than trading into a lane you lose on range.
