Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q when enemies are animation-locked in CS or when Rakan can guarantee follow-up with W.
  • Your best pattern is Q + E + auto + R when Rakan engages, using W to shield through return damage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam sparingly as your wave clear is needed to prevent enemy freeze, but consider roams when you have blue buff or when Rakan creates picks.
  • Best timing is after shoving post-6 when your R is available for skirmishes.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q for poke when Rakan needs it for engage setup, as your kill pressure relies on landing this skillshot.
  • Avoid face-checking brushes against Xayah, as her E + W combo can chunk you heavily in close quarters.
