Pyke vs Janna

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control and (W) stealth to threaten hooks and create ADC burst windows.
Prioritize river vision and roam timers to punish Janna's limited engage and roam follow-up.
Force volatile fights exploiting Janna's weak early lane pressure and shield cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Hide (Q) hook threat in brush or (W) stealth, then pull targets into ADC burst.
Use (E) to stun escape paths after hook to lock down kills before Janna can shield.
Hold engage until (Q) tornado or (R) knockback cooldowns are down to avoid peel counters.

Danger windows

Respect Janna's charged (Q) tornado from fog, which can disrupt your engage angles.
Avoid committing when (E) shield is active on her ADC, reducing burst potential.
Beware of (R) during all-ins, which can cancel your engage and reset fights.

Early game

Win level 2 by coordinating (Q) hook plus (E) stun with ADC burst for early kills.
Deny Janna's tornado vision by controlling brush and fog to limit her peel effectiveness.
Crash waves before roaming to keep ADC safe and force Janna to stay or lose lane priority.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks hook plus stun for strong all-in windows; pressure early with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 full kit enables stealth roams; use wave crashes to create mid pressure and vision control.
Level 6 executes low-health targets, snowball fights, and forces Janna to respect ultimate reset threat.

Win conditions

Convert hook picks into dragon control by placing deep river vision and forcing Janna's ADC out of position.
Roam after wave crashes to pressure mid and jungle, punishing Janna's limited roam follow-up.
Use execute resets to snowball fights and deny Janna's scaling ADC access in teamfights.
