Track: Nami's Q — Aqua Prison (12–8s cooldown). The bubble starts every Nami play — sidestep it and her kit is small numbers.
Read from Janna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nami.
This is Janna's own plan; across 9,333 pooled games the lane is leaning Janna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Nami's level-1 E poke and Bubble threat edge out your single tornado. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At level 2 her E-empowered autos and slow win the early skirmish. |
| Level 3 | Nami | Through level 3 her E uptime keeps her ADC winning the trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nami | Levels 4-5 stay hers as Bubble keeps threatening every all-in. |
| Level 6 | Janna | At 6 your Monsoon out-disengages Tidal Wave and cleanses its slow. |
| First item | Janna | First-item shields let your W blunt her E-burst poke advantage. |
| Two+ items | Janna | In 2-item fights your Monsoon peel and haste beat her buff-and-slow kit. |
Nami dictates levels 1-4. Her E buffs her ADC's autos with bonus magic damage and a slow, so the empowered trade beats anything your single Q can answer, and a landed Bubble sets up a kill. Play back, respect the E-windows, and don't walk into Bubble range in a straight line; let the wave come to you and scale. Her empowered autos and bubble out-trade you through the early levels, so shield the chip and stop contesting the poke. Keep your carry off the bubble line. Hold the tornado for the moment it has missed, and use your speed to push the wave rather than to fight.
