How to play this build

A charged Tornado (Q) pokes hard and disengages; the shield (E) adds damage to the ADC's autos. In trouble, the ult (Monsoon) pushes everyone away and heals your team: you're the best peel in the game with bonus damage.

Strengths

  • Tornado (Q) with AP does huge poke and is a knock-up that opens or breaks fights.
  • The Shield (E) adds damage to the ADC as well as protecting: buff and peel at once.
  • Monsoon (R) is the best peel in the game: it knocks everyone back and heals your team.
  • Zephyr (W) gives slow and speed to reposition allies.

Weaknesses

  • The Tornado is a chargeable skillshot: hard to land at long range.
  • Very fragile: if caught, you fall instantly.
  • She's reactive/defensive: she doesn't start fights on her own.
  • Relies on good team positioning to peel.

Key combos

  • Poke: charged Tornado (Q) + DFG for a surprise support burst. Defensive: Shield (E) on the ADC → Monsoon (R) to knock divers back and heal.

Matchups

You beat

  • Dive comps: your Monsoon and knock-ups dismantle them.
  • Immobile enemies you hit with the charged Tornado.

Trouble vs

  • Engage supports who grab you before you react.
  • Sustained poke that outpaces your sustain.

Game plan

Protect the ADC with the Shield (which also adds damage) and poke with charged Tornado + DFG to surprise. In fights you're the peel queen: use Zephyr and Monsoon to break up dives and save your carries. Always position at the back and reactively.

Quick tips

  • Charge the Tornado behind minions so they don't see it coming.
  • Save Monsoon for when they dive your ADC, don't throw it for damage.

Skill order

Max priority:

Q Tornado → E Escudo → W Céfiro

The ultimate (R) is always leveled at 6, 11 and 16.

Why this order
Tornado (Q) for AP poke; Shield (E) second (on AP it adds damage to the ADC). On AP Janna, poke comes before the utility shield.

Runes

In classic LoL, runes were a system SEPARATE from masteries: bought with IP (Influence Points) and slotted into 4 tiers — Marks (red), Seals (yellow), Glyphs (blue) and Quintessences (purple, the strongest). They gave flat stats: damage, armor, penetration, etc.

Marks (red) Magic penetration ×9
Seals (yellow) Armor ×9
Glyphs (blue) Magic resist per level ×9
Quintessences (purple) Gold per 10 (GP10) ×3

Magic pen, mana regen, AP quints

Masteries: how they work

In classic LoL you have up to 30 points (at level 30) to split across three trees: Offense (damage), Defense (durability) and Utility (mana, cooldown reduction and mobility). The notation 21/0/9 means 21 points in Offense, 0 in Defense and 9 in Utility.

Masteries
21/0/9 — Offense
Why this page
21/0/9 leverages AP so Tornado and shield deal real damage.
