Read from Janna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Senna.
This is Janna's own plan; across 7,813 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Janna | Janna's tornado poke and shield edge Senna's level-1 harass. |
| Level 2 | Janna | At level 2 your shields and knockback still hold the lane against her. |
| Level 3 | Senna | By level 3 Senna's ramping Q poke out-ranges your harass. |
| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Through levels 4-5 Senna's long-range Q keeps out-poking you. |
| Level 6 | Janna | At 6 Janna's Monsoon disengage counters Senna's all-in and re-takes the lane. |
| First item | Janna | On first item Janna's shields blunt Senna's poke and deny her picks. |
| Two+ items | Janna | By 2+ items Janna's disengage outvalues Senna's poke-and-pick pattern. |
You edge levels 1-2 with tornado poke and shields, but as Senna's Q ramps her long-range harass-and-heal starts to out-poke you into levels 3-4, so shield the Q damage, dodge her W root telegraph, and avoid extended auto trades that feed her lane. You edge the early poke war, but her range only grows, so take the value now: gust her step-ups, shield the chip and push the wave. Shove so it dies at her tower and the souls stop arriving. Hold the tornado for the melee walk-up she has to make.
