Swain vs Rakan

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to deny Rakan's fast engage angles and protect ADC access.
Use (E) root threat from minion angles to create ADC follow-up windows.
Prioritize river vision to track Rakan's roaming and protect mid and dragon setups.

Trading pattern

Threaten with (E) root and pull only when ADC can immediately follow up damage.
Hold (R) for level 6 all-ins to sustain through Rakan's engage and counter-engage.
Avoid committing before Rakan uses (E) charges to reduce his escape and peel potential.

Danger windows

Respect (W) knockup combined with ADC follow-up for burst engages.
Beware of Rakan's charm (R) at level 6 enabling multi-target CC and chain lockdown.
Avoid overextending without vision as Rakan can dash from fog or allied positions for surprise engages.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and only engage if ADC can follow your (E) root.
Deny brush control to limit Rakan's dash and knockup angles.
Use wave state to keep ADC safe and prevent Rakan from forcing early all-ins.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E)+(Q) pull trade; use this to force short-range ADCs into vulnerable positions.
Level 3 adds long-range (W) poke and vision; leverage brush control to maximize poke angles.
Level 6 (R) transforms fights into drain zones; commit only with confirmed ADC follow-up and river control.

Win conditions

Convert (E) roots into ADC burst by controlling brush and denying enemy ADC positioning.
Use level 6 (R) to sustain through fights and force extended skirmishes favoring your ADC.
Set river vision to track Rakan's roam timer and prepare for dragon or mid pressure setups.

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