Anivia vs Rakan

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) to zone and deny Rakan's engage angles through brush control.
Prioritize protecting your ADC from (W) knockup and (R) charm by maintaining safe spacing.
Control river vision to limit Rakan's roam windows and secure dragon setup.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) stun to punish Rakan's engage initiation and enable ADC follow-up.
Use (W) to block Rakan's dash paths and force him into your (Q) or zone.
Avoid committing cooldowns before Rakan uses (W) to prevent wasting peel and counter-engage.

Danger windows

Respect (W) knockup and ADC follow-up when he dashes from brush or fog.
Avoid clustering to reduce risk from Rakan's level 6 (R) charm chaining multiple targets.
Watch for (E) shield cooldown to identify when he can safely engage or peel.

Early game

Track Rakan's level 2 (W)+(E) combo and avoid overextending without ADC follow-up.
Deny brush access early to reduce Rakan's engage angles and force him to waste cooldowns.
Use wave pressure to keep ADC safe and create space for poke and zone control.

Power spikes

At level 2, respect (W)+(E) engage and only contest waves with ADC ready.
After your first mana/AP item and level 6, increase pressure using (R) zoning and reliable poke.
Post-6, use (R) to deny sieges and force fights on your terms with terrain control.

Win conditions

Convert wave control into denying enemy ADC positioning and secure dragon vision.
Use (Q) and (W) to create pick opportunities and force Rakan to waste engage cooldowns.
Roam after crashing waves with ADC safe to pressure mid and prepare for objective fights.

Tip: For Anivia vs Rakan, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
