| Level 3 | Janna | Level 3 gives you full peel that shuts down his dash-in combos. |
| Levels 4-5 | Janna | Through 4-5 Rakan's all-in reliance lets your disengage stay a step ahead. |
| Level 6 | Janna | At 6 your Monsoon directly counters his R charm-dive. |
| First item | Janna | On first item your shields deny his gapclose windows. |
