Playing as Rakan

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Thresh

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep minions between you and Thresh: Death Sentence (Q) stuns and pulls the first unit hit, so one minion is enough to block it.

  2. Step up after a missed hook

    Step up when Death Sentence (Q) misses you: he keeps its full cooldown, 19 to 9 seconds, which only goes down if the hook lands.

  3. Don't give him free autos

    Don't stay in his range for no reason: Flay (E) charges his autos between hits, and a charged auto hits hard early on.

  4. Beware the first wall of his box

    Avoid being the first to break a wall of The Box (R): that one slows and deals full damage. After that, the remaining walls deal no damage.
