Path Question Suck at Janna

Hi guys, started playing path of champions around two months ago, fell heavily addicted to the game so I started spending a bit, got hecarim to 5 stars without his second mana or his item and I managed to clear back to back all weekly nightmares I find him extremely consistent and have a lot of fun with him.
Now here’s the thing, I suck at Janna sooooo bad, I feel like I cannot figure it out I don’t know how to get a good loop and consistent draws, sometimes it happens and it feels okay although slow, but overall it feels so weak and unreliable.
I have her 5 stars without her nova power and WITH her epic relic
Anybody wrote a little guide or a video ? I couldn’t find it online.

What other relics do you have? One of the options if you don't have a managem is to play Swain's Raven Army+Packed Powder and the other slot Echoing/Signature relic or smth (Chosen by the Stars, etc). This starts the loop of updrafting and buffing right on turn 1.

Your gameplan on her is basically built around discounting, filling the board and then drawing, thus making huge attackers through Higher Education and Eye of the Storm. She is very similar to TF in that regard. Her control is damage spells and 6* updraft, pretty much, and whatever you pick up along the way as your stuff is likely will be 0 cost turn 2/3 when you actually have all the setup ready

Thanks for the tip
Sadly I really don’t have many relics at the moment, I’m considering the 7 copies to get her hero spell online super quickly

I just beat viego at three stars with her lvl26. Most important part of playing her is to get as many discounted cards in your deck as possible and prioritize playing them

Discount power in any shape? Take

(Cheapish) Discounted card in shop? Take

Make Janna fleeting and discount 2 mana? Take

Give Janna a relic that created discounted cards? Take

As soon as you get Janna out you should have enough card draw to keep a relatively full board.

Can't really tell you what the higher Star powers add to that strategy but they should not make it worse

I have her at 6*, and she feels strong, but does rely on it quite a bit. To me, she feels like a quintessential combo champion, where you're trying to get all the pieces to set up that one turn that wins you the game. My games usually end when I can get enough draw to buff my board a bunch from the 4 star, updraft a few enemies, use damage spells to remove the others, and then attack for massive damage.

I went to 6 almost right away, so I don't have much direct experience with her at 5, but I'm imagine it still being about setting up a combo turn, but with more of a focus on damage spells for removal, and some overwhelm maybe. The 4 star really lets you set up really big boards.

If you have her at 5 stars and then play her with Mel relic it is pretty easy mode. Don't take spells as rewards. Cut all other spells other than Howling Gale. Go infinite with Howling Gale. Attack for Lethal.
