Alistar vs Janna

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to open surprise (W)+(Q) engages with ADC follow-up and deny Janna's tornado angles.
Protect short-range ADCs by peeling with knockups and displacement after engaging.
Use lane space to enable quick all-ins around level 2 and 3 while managing wave state for safety.

Trading pattern

Hold brush and wait for (Q) to be used before committing to (W)+(Q) engage.
Engage only when your ADC is in range to follow up on knockups.
Avoid engaging if (W) or (Q) is on cooldown or ADC is too far back to capitalize.

Danger windows

Respect Janna's charged (Q) knockup and (R) knockback that can disrupt your engage.
Avoid engaging when (E) shield is ready as it negates your short trades.
Never commit without ADC follow-up or when (R) can reset fights effectively.

Early game

Win level 2 race holding brush to threaten immediate (W)+(Q) combos with ADC ready.
Avoid pushing early to keep engage angles and prevent Janna from shielding freely.
Punish Janna stepping up without charged (Q) to force disengage cooldown or summoners.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(Q) all-in; use this to force Janna back or burn summoners.
Level 3 adds (E) stun threat; control brush to maximize engage angles and punish cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) enables durable tower dives and extended fights; coordinate with ADC for kills.

Win conditions

Use brush control and Flash to create surprise (W)+(Q) engages with ADC follow-up.
Punish Janna's cooldowns by forcing enemy ADC to trade without shield or tornado ready.
Coordinate level 6 dives using (R) to peel or tank damage, securing objectives and lane priority.

Tip: For Alistar vs Janna, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
