Who Wins
- Miss Fortune + Rakan win pre-6 due to superior damage output and Rakan's sustain advantage over your mana-gated trading.
- Post-6 they maintain advantage through Rakan's R engage threat and Miss Fortune's R, though your R provides some counter-engage potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q-auto on Miss Fortune when she steps up for CS, then immediately W for the shield and movement speed to disengage before Rakan can respond.
- Focus on short poke trades rather than extended fights where Miss Fortune's DPS advantage becomes apparent.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming early as Smolder needs constant protection and will get dove or zoned from farm without you.
- Only consider roaming after first back when Smolder has some items and the wave is in a safe position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W mana on random poke damage as you need it for crucial moments when Miss Fortune commits or Rakan engages.
- Avoid positioning where Rakan can W-Q combo you as it sets up easy kills for Miss Fortune's burst.
