Summary

This article provides a thorough explanation of the “Mentor veteran Janna” configuration introduced by Chitose Kuon.

The main attraction of this configuration is that it uses Janna as the main carry and shows consistent strength from the middle to the end of the game.

The key to this configuration is to have all units at *2 at stage 3 and keep winning while maintaining strength, which will help you achieve higher-level stability.

Contents

Data (battle record)

• 8 consecutive rounds in the master belt
  • All placed in the Top 4 except for 2 times when there was competition
  • Average ranking: 3.63
• Statistics (as few as 250 matches)
  • Average ranking: 3.67
  • TOP4 rate: 65.5

→ Although the sample size is still small, it shows a high degree of stability.

Early moves (2 stages)

Open tactics are also effective

• If neither Janna nor the Crystal Gambit can be drawn, leave only one unit to lose repeatedly and sell all the units on the bench to secure 10 gold interest.

If you can get the Crystal Gambit out, you can activate it early on, but only if it appears on 2-1 (because you can double down once.)

Augment selection (2-1)

• Priority: Economy > Item > Combat
• Choosing economic augments (interest, additional gold type) will stabilize the reroll later on.

Midfield Movement (Stage 3)

(The board you want to aim for at level 6)

Reroll at once at level 6 (3-2)

• The first priority is to have 4 “mentors”.
• Once all 4 “mentors” are lined up, stop rerolling → Stage 3 can proceed almost undefeated.

Supplementation

• The slot for Ka Sante can be substituted by other protectors or strategists.
• When two *2 Cobco are available, it is also powerful to put out both.

Augment selection (3-2)

• Priority: Item > Economy = Combat
• Flexible decision depending on how many Janna you have and the item situation.
• If you don’t have enough equipment for the main carry, give top priority to items.

Endgame Movement (Stage 4 onwards)

(Final ideal board)

Augment selection (4-2)

• Priority: Combat > Items > Economy
• At this stage, the top priority is to strengthen the board.

Level 7-8

• Go to level 7 immediately after two units reach 3★.
• If you have enough strength, aim for level 8, and prepare 2★ units such as Rise, Jarvan IV, Ka Sante, etc.
• When the composition is completed at level 8 and you can pull out Rise, drop Yasuo and put in Jarvan IV and Senna Rise.
  Activate Executioner(2), Mighty Robot(3), and Strategist(3).

Level 9

• Reinforce powerful 5-cost units.
• Go for “Strategist(4)” if you can afford it.

Power Up (Hero Characteristic)

Janna

• Rise of the Veteran” required.
• Mentor(4)” can be activated even without Rise due to its effect.

Kobuko

• Transformation: Stable build that leans toward tanks
• Maximum Defense: Super durable when combined with specific items (see below for items)

Item Description

Janna

• Required: Guinsaw Rage Blade
• Remaining 2 slots:
  • Giant Slayer
  • Jewel Gauntlets
  • Ark Angel Staff
  • Rabadon Death Cap

Kobuko

• When “transformed”: general tank items
  • Gargoyle stone plate
  • Wormog armor
  • Spirit Visage
  • Bramble vest
• When “maximum protection”: tank items that make the most of maximum protection
  • Stelak’s basket
  • Protector’s Oath
  • Crown Guard
  • Endless Despair

Note that the builds are different for “Transformation” and “Maximum Defense!”

Supplemental

• Injury items are unnecessary (built into the mentor effect)
• Magic defense lowering frame is “Ionic Spark” OR “Void Staff” for Udia or Rise.

Summary

1. 3-2 reroll with Mentor 4 to stabilize the board and aim for a 3-step win.
2. Janna’s “Fierce” is a must, equipment is fixed on Guinsaw.
3. Kobuko switches items according to characteristics
4. Ideally, augments should be economic in the early stages, items in the middle stages, and combat in the end stages.
5. The final form is to complete level 8, and if there is room, go to level 9.

Impressions

The “Fierce Janna” is a composition that prioritizes economy at the expense of a little in the early stages, rerolls and stabilizes at once in the middle stage, and after that, aims for a stable top level by preparing synergies and equipment.

I thought it was a powerful and reproducible reroll configuration in the current environment (15.5)!
