LoL Guide: Janna Support

In this LoL guide to Janna as support, we give you tips on items, runes and objects of the magician. How to win every fight on bot lane in the MOBA Game League of Legends.

LoL supporter Janna on bot lane

As a supporter, it is your job to support your own AD carry at the start of the game and the entire team in mid and late game. You can do this with speed boosts, healing and control of enemy champions. The skill set from Janna offers you 4 skills to help you do this. You can find out exactly what these are and what these skills do here:

• "Howling Storm": This attack whirls enemies in the air and makes them unable to act. Use this skill for both defense and attack. Score a point at Level 2 in Howling Storm. Only at the end do you increase this skill to the maximum.
• "Zephir": With this skill you increase the movement speed for your own champions and deal damage to enemy champions when activated. This skill has the highest priority after "Eye of the Storm" and your Ultimate. You only invest a point from level 3.
• "Eye of the Storm": This ability helps you protect a friend AD carry in the beginning. They conjure up a shield on a friend friend who absorbs damage. Start at level 1 with this skill, because it has the highest priority after the Ultimate.
• "Monsoon": With your Ultimate you repel enemy heroes and heal nearby allies. Skill "monsoon" whenever possible (level 6/11/16).

Typical supporter items: equip Janna

The items you buy for Janna are no different from the ones you buy for supporters like Lulu, Zyra or Sona.

• Start with the "Defense Totem", a healing potion and "Doran's Shield".
• Your goal is then the "Amulet of Ascension". This way you get more gold and can save your team from difficult situations.
• You should also quickly reach a "Sighting Stone", which you will later develop into a "Sighting Ruby Stone".
• The remaining items then depend on the game situation. If the opposing team has a strong AD carry, buy items like "Randuin's Omen" or "Amulet of the Iron Solar". If the opponent has a strong AP carry, buy "Athene's Unholy Grail", "Spirit View" or "Twin Shadow".
• With the "Boots of Mobility" you achieve a high movement speed, especially in mid and end game.
