Is Janna better when played alongside Kalista?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Janna that will no matter what be her best ally. However, Kalista is a very bad teammate for Janna. By playing on the same side as Janna, she lowers their win rate by -3.9% to 47.1%. This proves that there is a terrible synergy between Janna and Kalista that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Kalista has a lower difficulty than Janna. That means Janna players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Kalista teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.

Playing together, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Janna and Kalista together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a great deal of cover. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Kalista ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
