OUT DATED = WATCH THE VIDEOMythic Choice
| VS |
|
Janna mains will tell you its a preference thing between Moonstone Renewer and Shurelya's Battlesong; however, I think its always Moonstone Renewer. I feel like if everyone saw the value you get from Glacial Augment with this item, they would think the same.
Boot choice
| Ionian Boots of Lucidity Most of the time you will be building this item. They are cheap and the CDR works well with Janna's Kit. |
| Boots of Swiftness I believe this item is super underrated. It's the cheapeast tier 2 boots and is super effective when the enemy team has a lot of slows. |
| Mercury's treads This item is very important against teams with a lot of CC. They will save you from getting CC death chained in team fights. Expensive but well worth it. |
| Plated Steelcaps Like Mercury's Treads this item is expensive but worth it. If the enemy team has heavy AD auto champs, this item will be a life saver. |
| Mobility Boots Never get these items on Janna! Although they are super useful for roaming, the drop off speed in combat is detrimental to Janna. Due to her kit she needs to be able to weave in and out of teamfights and this criples her ability to do so. |
Early Game
I think there is a lot of variation in the early game build path that heavily depends on game state and draft; however, Boots are usually the first item you want to build. Boots will help you get around the map for the early skirmishes. It is super important to identify when you
and
CANTleave lane for a roam. I think it's a good rule of thumb to stay away from the top side of the map if you only have tier one Boots. With our rune set up I think an essential early game item is Refillable Potion as well. We can utilize Time Warp Tonic for most of the early/mid game for only 125 gold! THATS SOME INSANE VALUE!
Now after these two items, there are going to be a lot of build paths you can go. Here are some example scenarios in which you would build x item:
- If you believe you can roam a lot i.e. they have a Yuumi/you have an Ezreal, you should rush tier 2 boots
- If the enemy team has heavy healing i.e. they have Sona/Aatrox, Yuumi/Sylas, etc, you would rush Chemtech Putrifier.
- If you believe you need stay in lane i.e. They have a strong bot lane matchup that can dive easily/you have a bad self peel adc like Twitch, I would rush sit on Boots and build towards Moonstone Renewer
I could go on forever with this list, but I think you get the idea. It is up to you to identify what item makes the most sense and to play around that.
Just a quick note, I want to emphasize that if you are building Moonstone Renewer, you should almost ALWAYS go Kindlegem portion first. The extra health is more conistent and value than the CDR/AP/Mana Regen from Bandleglass Mirror.Mid Game
Mid game portion of item choice is typically not as dynamic as the early game. A lot of the time, if you have your mythic, your second item is most likey going be Chemtech Putrifier. This is easily the best item out of all of the grevious wound items, arguably one of the best items in the game. In most drafts, there is going to be at least one enemy champion with a heal. The only time I would not take this is if the enemy has literally no heals. Even then, it would still bring value as there are many items/runes that heal.
In the uncommon case that you do not have to get Chemtech Putrifier, you would get Redemption. This item works well with Janna because of the synergies of Moonstone Renewer, Eye of the Storm passive, and Glacial Augment. If you have a full stacked Moonstone Renewer, your entire kit's heals and shields get increased by ( Moonstone Renewer 25%+ Eye of the Storm 20%+ Redemption 20%+ Revitalize 5%) 65%!!. Absolutely insane value!!!!
Late Game
Once you have your core items of Moonstone Renewer, Chemtech Putrifier, tier two boots, and Redemption you don't have too many options for the 5th choice. If you think the final fight of the game is coming up, I would buy Watchful Wardstone as this is the cheapest items with the best stats as well as any of the elixers. If you think the game will go one, the 5th item you have the options of going Frozen Heart, Mikael's Blessing, Anathema's Chains or Staff of Flowing Water. I think Ardent Censer is the worst support item, as everytime I have used it and checked the damage its numbers are bad.
