Karma vs Janna

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (R) (Q) poke and (E) shield to pressure Janna's lane and enable your ADC's trades.
Deny Janna's engage by controlling brush and forcing her to waste (Q) tornado defensively.
Prioritize wave push to secure plates and vision around river for safer roams and objective setups.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (R) (Q) poke, then shield your ADC to enable aggressive follow-up.
Hold (W) root for enemies who overcommit after your poke to lock down targets.
Avoid engaging after your shield (E) or (R) cooldowns expire to prevent Janna's counter-engage.

Danger windows

Respect Janna's charged (Q) tornado when she controls fog or brush for surprise knockups.
Avoid overextending when (E) shield is up, as it enables strong ADC trades and disengage.
Watch for her ultimate (R) to reset fights and cancel your committed all-ins or roams.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with your root (W) plus (R) (Q) to force Janna back and grant ADC access.
Control brush early to limit (Q) engage angles and create safer poke windows.
Crash the wave after pushing to safely roam or place deep river vision before Janna can respond.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your root (W) and (R) (Q) poke, increasing lane pressure and engage threat.
Level 3 completes your kit, enabling full poke-root-shield combos to control trades and brush.
Level 6 ultimate grants versatile peel or engage options to protect ADC or punish Janna's all-ins.

Win conditions

Convert lane pressure into ADC access by landing (R) (Q) poke and shielding trades consistently.
