Karma vs Rakan

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (R) (Q) poke and (E) shield to pressure Rakan's engage angles and protect ADC access.
Deny Rakan brush control to limit his dash and knockup threat.
Prioritize wave push to set up plate pressure and safe river vision for roams.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (R) (Q) poke and shield ADC to enable forward trades.
Hold (W) root to punish Rakan if he commits engage without (E) shield available.
Avoid wasting (R) before Rakan's engage cooldowns reset to maintain peel and poke pressure.

Danger windows

Respect (W) knockup and (E) double dash combo as a hard engage threat.
Avoid overextending when (R) charm is available, especially near brush or fog.
Watch for enemy ADC follow-up immediately after Rakan's engage cooldowns reset.

Early game

Contest level 2 with (R) (Q) plus (W) root to punish Rakan's engage cooldown.
Push early waves to force Rakan's ADC under turret, reducing their follow-up threat.
Use brush control and vision to prevent Rakan's double dash engage or roam attempts.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (R) (Q) poke and (W) root; use this to contest Rakan's engage.
Level 3 full kit allows shield, root, and poke combo; leverage brush control for safe trades.
Level 6 ultimate enhances shield and poke; use it with ADC follow-up for river control and objective setup.

Win conditions

Convert (R) (Q) poke and shield trades into lane priority and plate damage.
Deny Rakan brush and fog access to reduce his engage angles and roaming potential.
Use wave state and river vision to safely roam or prepare dragon setup with ADC follow-up.

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