Janna Classic guide
The Storm's FuryA defensive enchanter who protects one carry, interrupts committed dives and resets losing formations with Monsoon.
How Janna wins
Janna is strongest when she reacts late but positions early. Keep enough distance to see the engage, then answer the actual threat with the smallest spell required.

Janna splash art and skins
6 skin splash references are attached to this Classic champion record. A “Classic skin” badge comes directly from the Data Dragon name; other entries are visual references and do not independently claim current in-client availability.

Skin referenceAbilities and practical use
Howling Gale
Place it across the diver's route or release quickly to interrupt instead of chasing maximum charge.
Zephyr
Slow targets after they commit; retain the passive movement when safe positioning matters more than poke.
Eye Of The Storm
Shield before the important damage exchange and use the attack-damage bonus during a real trade.
Monsoon
Displace the enemy front line first, then channel healing only while the area remains secure.

The build source recommends Greater Armor Marks. Because the reviewed live catalog exposes Minor Mark of Armor instead, the page uses that current label and keeps the defensive and gold-income intent explicit.
Masteries
0 Offense9 Defense21 Utility
A 0/9/21 page combines basic survivability with mana, gold and vision utility.
Lane and map plan
Lane posture
Trade with attacks when safe and reserve mana-heavy spells for meaningful damage or engage denial.
Against all-in
Shield the focused ally, interrupt the entry path and use Exhaust only after the damage threat commits.
Objective setup
Ward beside allies and hold Monsoon to separate the first diver from the rest of the enemy team.
Power spikes
Level 3
Shield, slow and tornado provide a complete layered disengage pattern.
Level 6
Monsoon can cancel an engage and repair the formation afterward.
First support active
A team defensive item adds another answer without spending core peel spells.
What changes the lane
Telegraphed engage
Pre-position the tornado across the approach and punish the cooldown after denying entry.
Long-range poke
Do not shield every small hit; avoid the spell first and protect the decisive trade.
Sustain enchanter
Create short attack-and-shield exchanges without draining the mana needed for protection.
Differences from modern League
- Tailwind grants global movement speed in this Classic version.
- Gold quintessences and a 21-point Utility tree shape support economy.
- Old support actives and direct ward purchases replace modern quest-item assumptions.
How to read this guide
Riot's official material confirms the live Patch 26.15 Classic scope and 60-champion structure. The build, rune, mastery and skill-order snapshot above is community evidence from Mobalytics, reviewed on 2026-07-31. Rune labels were additionally reconciled against Rift Archive so every displayed selection resolves to the reviewed live catalog. P/Q/W/E/R names and mechanic terminology were independently checked against Riot Data Dragon 16.15.1. Lane plans, timing windows and matchup archetypes remain original editorial analysis; they are not measured win-rate or counter claims.
