Who Wins
- You're weaker pre-6 due to lower base damage and range disadvantage, but post-6 your R provides strong counter-engage if Rakan commits.
- The matchup remains difficult until you accumulate significant stacks.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to last-hit and poke when Seraphine is positioning for her own Q, then let Caitlyn follow up with headshot trades.
- Focus on safe stack accumulation rather than aggressive trading patterns early.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Farm safely under Caitlyn's protection and avoid pushing alone, as you're vulnerable to Rakan engages without escape tools.
- Prioritize stack accumulation over wave manipulation until you reach meaningful power spikes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't greed for stacks in dangerous positions where Rakan can engage, as your early game survivability is poor.
- Avoid extended trades where Seraphine can land multiple Q rotations on you.
