Maokai vs Janna

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control side brush with saplings to deny Janna's tornado vision and engage angles.
Coordinate engages when your ADC can follow up rooted targets for kill pressure.
Use (R) to start fights in river chokepoints, limiting Janna's peel effectiveness.

Trading pattern

Stack saplings in brush and threaten (W) from fog to bait (Q) tornado.
Engage only when (W) root is available and ADC can immediately follow up.
Hold (Q) knockback to keep Janna's ADC in range and prevent disengage.

Danger windows

When Janna has charged (Q) tornado from fog, respect her engage range and avoid face-checking brush.
Avoid committing when (E) shield is active on her ADC, reducing your engage threat.
Beware of (R) ultimate resetting fights; disengage if your ADC is isolated or CC'd.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (W) root plus (Q) knockback to set up ADC trades.
Secure brush control early to force Janna to play defensively and limit her poke.
Time wave crashes to create roam windows while ensuring ADC safety and vision in river.

Power spikes

Level 2: (W)+(Q) combo unlocks strong engage; pressure Janna before she shields.
Level 3: Full sapling control enhances brush dominance and poke threat.
Level 6: (R) enables powerful river engages or objective fights, forcing Janna to play cautiously.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced defensive play.
Use (R) layered through river choke points to initiate or counter-engage around dragon.
Roam safely after wave crashes with vision control to pressure mid and secure objectives.

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