Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through superior range and headshot trades, but post-6 Seraphine's R creates dangerous all-in windows that can turn fights.
  • Your range advantage diminishes if Rakan lands W-R combos.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use headshot-empowered autos after Q poke or trap procs, then immediately step back to avoid Seraphine's Q return damage.
  • Coordinate with Smolder's Q poke when enemies are slowed by your W or damaged by your Q.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push early waves to establish range control and trap placements around river bushes.
  • Maintain slow pushes to keep minion advantage while poking, but be ready to thin waves quickly if Rakan looks for roam timings.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't overextend for trap placements against Rakan's engage range, as his W-Flash-R combo can bypass your safety net.
  • Avoid fighting in minion waves where Seraphine's Q echo damage is maximized.
