Vel'Koz vs Janna

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range (Q) poke angles to pressure Janna and reduce enemy ADC access.
Control side brush to deny (Q) engage and create safer poke windows.
Coordinate with your ADC for burst follow-up after landing (E) knockup or slows.

Trading pattern

Layer split (Q) and (W) poke while holding (E) for peel or guaranteed knockup follow-up.
Avoid using (E) aggressively when (Q) tornado is up to prevent counter-engage.
Engage only when your ADC can immediately follow up and Janna's shield or (Q) are on cooldown.

Danger windows

Respect Janna's charged (Q) knockup from fog or brush that can disrupt your engage.
Avoid committing when (E) shield is active, as it negates poke damage and ADC pressure.
Beware of (R) ultimate resetting fights; do not overcommit during channeling.

Early game

Win the level 2 race to threaten knockup plus poke, forcing Janna to play defensively.
Maintain lane priority by crashing waves early to enable safe roams and vision control.
Deny Janna brush control to limit her (Q) angles and reduce enemy engage threat.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks knockup and poke combo; use it to pressure before Janna shields fully activate.
Level 3 completes poke pattern; leverage brush control to maximize poke and force Janna back.
Level 6 ultimate enables burst all-in; use with ADC follow-up and river vision for dragon setup.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Roam safely after wave crash with ADC, setting river vision to control dragon area.
Use (E) knockup and (R) burst with ADC follow-up to secure favorable 2v2 fights and objective control.

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