Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through superior range with Anivia's poke support and ability to kite Rakan's limited engage options.
- Post-6: Rakan-Varus wins as Rakan's R-W becomes nearly unavoidable and leads to guaranteed Varus E-Q follow-up damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to dodge Rakan's W and reposition for short trades, then immediately back off before Varus can land Q.
- Your best trades are quick AA-Q-AA combos when Rakan misses abilities or when you can use minions to block Varus Q.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on freezing near your tower to deny Rakan roam opportunities and force them to overextend for CS.
- Only push when you have clear recall timings or when setting up for your own roams.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight extended trades post-6 as Rakan's R-W combo will catch you even through Q if timed correctly.
- Avoid positioning near walls where your Q mobility is limited and Rakan can more easily land W.
