Rakan lore:

As mercurial as he is charming, Rakan is an infamous vastayan troublemaker and the greatest battle-dancer in Lhotlan tribal history. To the humans of the Ionian highlands, his name has long been synonymous with wild festivals, uncontrollable parties, and anarchic music. Few would suspect this energetic, traveling showman is also partner to the rebel Xayah, and is dedicated to her cause.

Rakan tips:

  • Rakan requires allies near him to make the most out of his tools.
  • Rakan's dash speeds increase with his Move Speed. Use the extra speed to surprise your enemies!
  • Danger is as fun as you let it be.

Playing Against Rakan

  • Rakan's movement abilities forecast their destination. Try to use this to your advantage.
  • Champions with crowd control that can be applied quickly excel against Rakan.
  • Catching Rakan with no allies around severely inhibits his mobility. Try to find him alone.
