Tap any portrait to switch perspective
Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to shorter range and weaker early trading, with Rakan's engage threat limiting your positioning.
- Post-6 you remain weaker in 2v2s as your R is better for teamfights than lane skirmishes.
Synergy & Trading
- Focus on safe Q farming for stacks while Seraphine provides sustain and poke pressure.
- Only trade when Rakan abilities are down and you can land Q-auto-E combo from safe distance.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Accept being pushed in early and focus on farming under tower to safely stack Q.
- Look for slow pushes back when you have item advantages or when enemies recall poorly.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't greed for Q stacks in dangerous positions where Rakan can engage on you.
- Avoid using E aggressively for trades as it's your only escape tool against Rakan's engage potential.
