How to win lane as Zilean against Janna · 50.7% win rate over 1,712 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zilean | Level 1 favors you: Janna's fragile no-sustain body loses the early poke exchange to your Bomb. |
| Level 2 | Zilean | Level 2 favors you as your double-Bomb spike threatens a kill she can't heal through. |
| Level 3 | Zilean | Level 3 stays yours because your Bomb pressure keeps her ADC and her low-HP body honest. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zilean | Levels 4-5 remain yours: her shields alone can't cover the all-in window you create. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 evens out because Monsoon knocks you off your Chronoshift commit and disengages. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item both come online as enablers and her shield uptime neutralizes your poke. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At two-plus items it's a skill-based peel war between two utility supports. |
Levels 1-4 are yours: Janna has no sustain and a fragile body, so your double Time Bomb burst plus Rewind resets let you win the poke war and threaten a real all-in with your ADC before she has shields to spare.
