Who Wins

  • Pre-6: Vayne-Anivia wins through superior range advantage and Anivia's consistent poke while you lack reliable follow-up on Rakan's limited engage.
  • Post-6: You win as Rakan's R-W becomes a guaranteed setup for your E-Q combo and Anivia provides additional lockdown.

Synergy & Trading

  • Focus on Q poke when enemies are slowed by Anivia's R or stunned by her Q, then follow Rakan's engage with immediate E placement under the knocked-up target.
  • Your best all-ins happen when Rakan lands R-W and you can layer E-Q for maximum damage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages for Rakan's roams, but avoid hard shoving unless you have vision.
  • Reset waves before major objectives and prioritize farming safely when Rakan is roaming.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E on minions when Rakan is looking for engages, as you need it for follow-up damage.
  • Avoid using Q to waveclear when enemies are in range to engage, as it's your primary damage tool in fights.
