Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (W) and (E) to control brush and deny Rakan safe engage angles.
Enable ADC follow-up by timing (W) taunt with ADC damage windows.
Push mid waves to create roam opportunities and impact river fights early.

Trading pattern

Hold (W) and (E) to punish Rakan’s dash engage and peel for ADC.
Use (Q) and passive for short trades, then reset before Rakan’s (W) cooldown.
Avoid wasting (E) without clear hit or escape to maintain engage and peel options.

Danger windows

Respect Rakan’s (W) knockup combined with ADC follow-up for burst engages.
Avoid clustering to reduce charm (R) effectiveness and follow-up CC chains.
Watch for Rakan’s double dash (E) to flank or peel, keep vision to track his angles.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (W) taunt before Rakan commits (W) engage.
Deny Rakan brush control to reduce his dash angles and charm threat.
Crash wave quickly to free roam with (R) and secure river vision.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(E) combo; use it to contest Rakan’s engage and protect ADC.
Level 6 (R) drastically increases map impact; use it to turn fights or peel.
First durability or AP utility item strengthens trades and roam safety against Rakan’s poke.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and wave pressure into safe ADC access and denied enemy positioning.
Use (R) to join side fights or protect ADC during enemy all-ins.
Set river vision before roaming to secure dragon and punish Rakan’s roam attempts.
