How to win lane as Nami against Janna · 49.32% win rate over 4,653 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Nami's E-buffed autos out-harass Janna's weak level-1 poke. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At 2 your Aqua Prison all-in threatens damage Janna can only disengage. |
| Level 3 | Nami | At 3 you keep out-trading a disengage-only enchanter. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nami | Levels 4-5 your Q lockdown and E buff still beat her shielding. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's even - your R engage races her Monsoon disengage. |
| First item | Nami | At first item your all-in bursts through her shields for kills. |
| Two+ items | Nami | With 2+ items Nami's offensive R+Q wincon edges out pure-disengage Janna. |
You dictate the early lane: Nami's level-2 Aqua Prison all-in plus an E-empowered ADC auto threatens a kill that Janna, a pure disengage enchanter, has no answer to before 6. Poke with E-buffed autos, and force short trades where her shield can't fully cover the burst.
