Tips to maximize your impact

Double your Surround Sound
Make Surround Sound (W) your third basic spell: Stage Presence (passive) casts it twice, and the second, cast while shielded, heals your allies.
Beat Drop on a slowed target
Cast Beat Drop (E) on enemies that are already slowed: they're rooted, and those already immobilized are stunned.
Finish with High Note
Save High Note (Q) for a wounded target: its damage grows with the health they've lost.
Send Encore through an ally
Cast Encore (R) through an ally toward the enemies: each champion hit, allies included, extends the spell's range.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Gleaming Quill (Q) strikes the first enemy in its path, and if it hits a champion, Rakan heals his team.
Keep your distance
Keep your distance when his ADC steps up: Grand Entrance (W) lets him leap onto you, and enemies around his landing spot take a knock-up.
Save your CC for his arrival
If you have CC, save it for when he lands in the middle of your team: only Battle Dance (E) then lets him leave toward an ally.
Spread out from your allies
Spread out from your allies when he casts The Quickness (R): he charms every enemy he touches while running.
