Who Wins
- You win most 1v1s pre-6 through superior damage and Q3 setup, with level 2 being particularly strong if you land Q3 into W.
- Post-6 your kill pressure increases dramatically with R engage potential, while Rakan struggles to match your damage output.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is E forward, land Q3 knockup into W shield break, then auto-attack before returning to safety with E2.
- This maximizes your spirit form damage while minimizing Rakan's ability to retaliate with his combo.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages since Rakan will try to shove and roam.
- Keep waves in positions where you can chase him down the lane if he uses W aggressively without proper backup.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E spirit form for poke when Rakan has W available, as he can easily disengage and waste your trading window.
- Save E for all-ins or when his escape tools are on cooldown to maximize kill pressure.
