Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and Seraphine's poke, as Smolder lacks early damage and Rakan can't effectively engage through your zone control.
- Post-6 you still maintain advantage since your R provides pick potential while Smolder's R doesn't significantly improve his 2v2 damage output.
Synergy & Trading
- Use auto-Q-auto combos when Smolder steps up for CS, with Seraphine following up with Q-E for extended trades.
- Focus on placing W traps after Seraphine lands E charm to guarantee headshot procs and maximize damage windows.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves early to establish range advantage and deny Smolder stacking opportunities on minions.
- Maintain slow pushes to build up minion advantages for extended trades where your superior range and Seraphine's sustain shine.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W traps randomly or use them purely for wave clear, as you need them for self-peel against Rakan's W-R engage.
- Avoid overextending for poke when Rakan has flash up, as his engage range with flash-W-R can catch you even with your superior range.
