Playing as Rakan
Tips to maximize your impact
- Land a quill, then return to your ADC
Hit a champion with Gleaming Quill (Q), then return to your ADC: you heal yourself, and the heal reaches nearby allies as soon as you touch one.
- Engage when your ADC can follow
Engage with Grand Entrance (W) when your ADC can follow: you leap onto them, and enemies around your landing spot take a knock-up.
- Dance through, then leap
Cast The Quickness (R) and run through their team, then Grand Entrance (W): each enemy you touch while running is charmed, then takes a knock-up when you land.
- Recast your dance to another ally
Recast Battle Dance (E) a second time to reach another ally: each dash shields the ally you target.
Playing against Milio
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge his fireball
Dodge Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q): it knocks you back, then explodes behind you and slows you.
- Back off when the campfire's up
Back off when Cozy Campfire (W) follows his carry: they gain attack range and restore health over time.
- Save a CC for after his R
If your team has several CC spells, save one for after Breath of Life (R): it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from his nearby allies.
- Go for Milio first
If you can reach him, go for Milio first, especially away from his allies: he has no dash or leap, and without him, his carry loses shields, heals and range.
