How to win lane as Rell against Janna · 49.21% win rate over 2,152 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Janna | Janna's Q and Zephyr are purpose-built to peel your level-1 engage. |
| Level 2 | Janna | At 2 her disengage neutralizes your W dismount all-in every time. |
| Level 3 | Janna | By 3 her shields and slows blunt your burst and reposition you off target. |
| Levels 4-5 | Janna | Through 4-5 she disengages any trade you try to force in lane. |
| Level 6 | Janna | Her level-6 Monsoon directly counters your Magnet Storm and heals through it. |
| First item | Janna | On first item she shields off your damage and refuses to fight. |
| Two+ items | Janna | Late, her Monsoon and shields keep her carry alive through your whole engage. |
Janna is the disengage answer to your hard engage, so the level 1-2 phase favors her — the instant you W-slam in, her Q knockup and Zephyr slow peel you right back off her ADC. Don't waste your engage into a full-health Janna with cooldowns up; poke and freeze instead. Ward for the jungler because a coordinated gank is how you actually get a kill through her peel.
