How it works

General
  1. You support your Team providing Healing, Shielding and various Buffs.
  2. You rush Moonstone Renewer.
  3. You can peel from your carries with Exhaust.

How to play

General
  1. You need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
  2. You can get Mark (Snowball) summoner instead of Exhaust if you want to play more aggressive and to go in.
  3. You will be squishy early on, and if you don't go some tanky items later. Be careful!
  4. Your team needs to engage? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
  5. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari
  6. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  7. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
  8. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Oblivion Orb early.

Tips and Tricks

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