Guide to Building Janna in League of Legends: Wild Rift

1. Itemization for Janna in League of Legends: Wild Rift

For footwear, you might consider equipping Ionian Boots of Lucidity to reduce cooldowns by 10% for Janna. Cooldown reduction is very beneficial for Support champions, especially Janna, who relies on abilities to deal with enemies.

1.3. Enchanted Chalice - Fizzled Essence

Enchanted Chalice is one of the key items for Support - Mage champions as it brings benefits to both the owner and allies. Specifically, Enchanted Chalice increases movement speed by 10-30% and adds 16-30 magic damage over 6 seconds to allies with each basic attack (based on level) when you heal or shield allies (excluding yourself).

For you, Enchanted Chalice provides 250 maximum HP, 60 AP, and reduces cooldowns by 10%.

Equip your Janna with Guardian's Oath. It's an exceptional support item, allowing you to provide staunch protection for your team's carry. With Guardian's Oath, Janna or your ally will receive a 125 shield and gain a 20% movement speed boost for 1.5 seconds upon taking damage from enemies, monsters, or turrets. It also grants Janna an additional 40 armor, 350 HP, and reduces ability cooldowns by 10%.

1.5. Athene's Unholy Chalice - Athene's Pact with the Abyss

Perhaps some of you, especially newcomers, might not appreciate the effect of Athene's Unholy Chalice because you have to accumulate stacks. This means you'll have to wait for a while to see its impact. The Blood Price effect allows you to store 35% of damage taken as health (stacking), capped at 110-250. Healing or shielding allies consumes these stacks to heal or shield them for an equivalent value.

1.6. Resilient Guard - The Adaptive Helm

Finally, opt for the Resilient Guard to grant Janna additional magic resistance. It's a preventive item that helps Janna survive enemy onslaughts, such as those from Malphite (AP), Fizz, or Ahri. With the Resilient Guard, Janna will gain 300 HP, 60 magic resistance, and 100% HP regeneration. Its passive reduces subsequent magic damage by 15% for 4 seconds, allowing Janna to survive after taking damage.

1.7. Upgrading Ionian Boots of Lucidity to Redeeming Enchant

To help your allies stay longer on the battlefield, you may want to upgrade Ionian Boots of Lucidity to Redeeming Enchant. This upgrade allows you to heal nearby allies for 25-375 HP, while enemies around them take 10% true damage. And you can still activate Redeeming Enchant even after death.

1.8. Recommended Builds for Janna

For Keystone Runes, you can opt for Summon Aery. This support rune will help you coordinate better with your ADC. It grants you an additional 20-120 shield (based on level) (+ 40% physical damage), (+ 20% AP) for 2 seconds when shielding, healing, or using other support spells.

2.2. Weakness - Weakness

Why equip Weakness for Janna? Because Janna has plenty of crowd control with her skills, whether it's slowing or knocking up. Therefore, the additional damage that Weakness targets against slowed or knocked-up targets will greatly support Janna.

Next up is Loyalty. This support rune provides you with an additional 2 armor and 4 magic resistance. The nearest ally will also receive 5 armor and 2 magic resistance, which can stack.

2.4. Pack Hunter - Pack Hunter

For support spells, you can choose Exhaust. It reduces the enemy's movement speed by 20% and their damage output by 40% for 2 seconds. Essentially, Exhaust can make it easier for your ADC to escape enemies or face off against an aggressive champion, such as Master Yi or Jax.

3.2. Flash - Flash

Flash is a support spell for everyone. Most champions can use it to chase down enemies or escape from them. However, the cooldown of this support spell is quite long, at 150 seconds.

4. Janna's Combo in Wild Rift

Speaking of combos, let's focus on Janna's ultimate, which will help you disrupt the enemy team's formation or initiate team fights. Here's Janna's combo:

Basic Attack > Zephyr (2) > Flash > Monsoon (Ultimate)

5. Tips for Playing Janna in Wild Rift
