Bard vs Janna

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Bard thrives by landing (Q) wall stuns near brush to create pick opportunities.
This lane turns on Bard's ability to roam safely after crashing the wave.
Prioritize wave states that protect your ADC during roams to avoid giving Janna free poke.

Trading pattern

Trade with meep autos and look for (Q) stuns when (E) shield is down.
Punish Janna's ADC when they step up for last hits without Janna's immediate shield.
Use short trades from brush angles to bypass Janna's disengage and shield.

Danger windows

Respect Janna's charged (Q) knockup when stepping into brush or river control.
Avoid trading when (E) shield is active on her ADC, reducing your damage.
Be cautious when (R) is available to reset fights or disengage your all-in attempts.

Early game

Track the level 2 race and contest the wave only if your ADC can follow your threat.
Hold brush control to angle (Q) for stun setups against Janna's shield timing.
Avoid roaming while the wave is frozen to prevent your ADC from being vulnerable to Janna's poke.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(W) for stronger trade setups; use this to force Janna back.
Level 3 grants (E) roam paths; crash waves and roam to create numbers advantages.
Level 6 (R) can isolate targets or stall dives; coordinate with your ADC before committing.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing (Q) stuns and creating roam pressure to snowball mid and jungle.
Use (R) to stall objective dives or isolate Janna's ADC for your ADC to follow up.
Maintain wave states that allow safe roams without sacrificing plate pressure or ADC safety.

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