How to win lane as Taric against Janna · 54.94% win rate over 648 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Janna | Janna's level-1 Q and W poke plus passive shield out-pressure your slow, CC-less start. |
| Level 2 | Janna | At 2 her Zephyr slow and shielding win the early trade before your stun exists. |
| Level 3 | Janna | Level 3 Janna still out-pokes and out-peels you with Q and W up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taric | By 4-5 your E stun and shields flip the lane and let you force all-ins she can't fully peel. |
| Level 6 | Taric | At 6 Cosmic Radiance beats her Monsoon disengage on any target you've already locked. |
| First item | Taric | First item lets you walk her down before her knockback disengage comes off cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Taric | Late game Radiance and chain stuns overwhelm a pure enchanter with no hard lockdown. |
Janna edges levels 1-3. Her Q and W poke from range while her passive movement-speed shield keeps her ADC slippery, and you have no way to lock her down yet. Don't chase the poke war you'll lose; soak the chip, keep passive stacks charged so your ADC heals back up, and ward for your jungler. Save your E for when Janna's Q is on cooldown and she oversteps.
