| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tahm Kench | Janna's paper-thin level-1 loses to your Q-W walk-up. |
| Level 2 | Tahm Kench | At 2 your all-in threatens a kill she can't self-peel. |
| Level 3 | Tahm Kench | Level 3 you keep the engage advantage with slow-into-dive. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tahm Kench | Through 4-5 your aggression still out-pressures her fragile body. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Her level-6 Monsoon undoes your W engage, evening the fight. |
| First item | Even / skill | First-item enchant peel and disengage match your dive skill. |
| Two+ items | Janna | Late Janna's full shields and Monsoon out-scale your single pick. |
You own levels 1-4: Janna is the squishiest support in the game and has no self-peel beyond a slow Q charge, so a clean Q Tongue Lash into W Abyssal Dive threatens to kill her outright. Walk her down before she charges Howling Gale and force her to burn shields defensively. Your ADC just needs to follow your engage.
