The engage combo is E (dash to ally) into W (Grand Entrance, knockup) into R (The Quickness, charm) — you become an AoE engage ball.
Your W (Grand Entrance) knocks up in an area — Flash + W for a surprise long-range engage.
E (Battle Dance) can be used twice to dash between allies — reposition in teamfights.
The synergy with Xayah is strong: your E has more range and she can recall you with her R while you engage.

Playing against Rakan
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Rakan is one of the most mobile supports: his engages are fast. Prepare CC to stop him during his W.
Spread out when he activates R (charm): he wants to charm as many targets as possible by running through the group.
Rakan is extremely squishy: if he's CC'd before he can return to his carry, he dies instantly.
His W knockup has a visible windup: dash or Flash out of the impact zone.
