The extended range on Xayah makes this ability even more powerful in duo play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>R: The Quickness (Ultimate)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost: <\/strong>100 Mana&nbsp; |&nbsp; <strong>Cooldown: <\/strong>130 \/ 110 \/ 90 sec&nbsp; |&nbsp; <strong>Cast Time: <\/strong>0.5&nbsp; |&nbsp; <strong>Collision Radius: <\/strong>150<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ACTIVE: <\/strong>Rakan breaks into a captivating sprint for <strong>4 seconds<\/strong>, gaining <strong>ghosting<\/strong> and <strong>75% bonus movement speed<\/strong>. During this time, he deals magic damage to enemies he collides with and <strong>charms + slows them by 75%<\/strong> for a duration. This cannot affect the same enemy more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Parameter<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Value<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Magic Damage<\/td><td>100 \/ 200 \/ 300 (+50% AP)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Disable Duration (Charm + Slow)<\/td><td>1 \/ 1.25 \/ 1.5 seconds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bonus MS on first champion hit<\/td><td>+75% (decays over 1.5s)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Duration extension per champion<\/td><td>+0.25 seconds<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Rakan collides with his <strong>first enemy champion<\/strong>, he gains an additional <strong>75% bonus movement speed<\/strong> that decays after 0.5 seconds by 20% every 0.5 seconds, then 15% after decaying 60% over 1.5 seconds. Colliding with each champion extends The Quickness duration by 0.25 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u26a0\ufe0f Note: <\/strong>During The Quickness, Rakan <strong>cannot basic attack<\/strong> enemy champions he did not collide with, unless the attack command was inputted before activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Pro Tip: <\/strong>Always pair R with W for the full combo. Land <strong>Grand Entrance (W) first<\/strong> to knock enemies up, then activate The Quickness immediately. The knock-up groups enemies perfectly for Rakan to dash through multiple targets, stacking charms and extending duration. A well-executed W + R combo can charm an entire frontline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83c\udfaf Strategies and Gameplay Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Early Game (Levels 1\u20136)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Q Poke in Lane: <\/strong>Use Gleaming Quill to chip the enemy botlane at range (900 units). Always position to allow an ally to enter the heal radius \u2013 don&#8217;t waste the second half of the ability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E as Repositioning Tool: <\/strong>Battle Dance isn&#8217;t just a shield \u2013 use it to reposition after a skirmish. Two casts mean two dashes. Retreat to your ADC, then dash again to safety or a different ally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Level 3 Power Spike: <\/strong>Once you have W + E + passive, you have real engage threat. Look for W dash + knock-up into level 3 skirmishes. You hit harder than most supports early.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lover&#8217;s Leap Recall: <\/strong>If playing with Xayah, coordinate Recall timing. Recalling together saves several seconds and creates a free window for your ADC to base safely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mid Game (Levels 7\u201313)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Roam Potential: <\/strong>Rakan&#8217;s speed and mobility make him one of the best roaming supports. After pushing a wave, use E on an ally mid or jungle and dash into position for a surprise engage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>W + R Combo: <\/strong>This is your primary teamfight pattern. Dash with W to knock up clustered enemies, then immediately activate R to charm them as they land. The timing window is tight but devastating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peel With E Double Cast: <\/strong>In fights where your ADC is threatened, use both Battle Dance casts defensively \u2013 shield, reposition, shield again. Few supports can provide this level of sustained mobility-based peel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Late Game (Level 14+)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Front-to-Back Engage: <\/strong>With full AP build, Rakan&#8217;s W deals significant damage. Open fights by diving the backline with W + R, charming carries, and then using E to escape back to your team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AoE Charm Priority: <\/strong>In teamfights, maximize The Quickness by running through as many enemies as possible. Each collision extends duration and refreshes the movement speed burst, making you nearly uncatchable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shield Priority: <\/strong>Late game, Battle Dance shields become significantly stronger with AP. Prioritize shielding your highest-damage carry first before repositioning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2694\ufe0f Core Combo Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Full Engage Combo (Teamfight): <\/strong>W (dash + knock-up) \u2192 immediately R \u2192 dash through clustered enemies for multi-charm \u2192 E to peel or escape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-In 1v1 Dive: <\/strong>W \u2192 auto \u2192 Q \u2192 R \u2192 E onto ally to escape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peel Combo: <\/strong>E (shield ADC + dash to them) \u2192 E recast \u2192 Fey Feathers passive shield active<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Xayah Synergy: <\/strong>Coordinate Lover&#8217;s Leap Recall \u2192 R engage during Xayah ult to pin enemies with feathers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u274c Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Using W Without Setup: <\/strong>Grand Entrance has a 0.35-second delay. Against experienced players, dashing in alone telegraphs your engage. Use fog of war, R speed, or Xayah&#8217;s ult to disguise your approach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wasting Q Heal: <\/strong>Gleaming Quill&#8217;s heal requires an ally to enter the marked radius. If your ally is out of range or you&#8217;re fighting alone, you get zero healing. Communicate positions before committing to Q trades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not Recasting Battle Dance: <\/strong>Forgetting the E recast is a massive lost opportunity. That second dash costs zero mana \u2013 use it every time for added mobility, peel, or repositioning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activating R in Isolation: <\/strong>The Quickness charms multiple enemies, but only if you actually run through them. Using R without W setup in a spread-out fight wastes its enormous teamfight potential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dying During Engage: <\/strong>Rakan&#8217;s passive shield doesn&#8217;t protect against burst. Don&#8217;t dash headfirst into a fed assassin \u2013 save E double cast to get out when things go sideways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2699\ufe0f Recommended Build and Itemization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Core Items<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/shurelyas-battlesong\/\">Shurelya&#8217;s Battlesong<\/a>: <\/strong>Active movement speed boost synergizes perfectly with Rakan&#8217;s aggressive dashes.

Battle Dance lets you dodge Death Sentence cleanly while maintaining peel on your ADC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/senna-the-redeemer\/\"><strong>Senna<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 Long-range sniping supports get punished hard by Rakan&#8217;s sudden dive angle. His W range forces Senna to back off or risk a knock-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/soraka-the-starchild\/\"><strong>Soraka<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 Zero mobility. Rakan can easily close the gap on Soraka, interrupt her Wish with W knock-up, and apply constant pressure in lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u274c Rakan is Countered By<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/lux-the-lady-of-luminosity\/\"><strong>Lux<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 Light Binding roots stop Rakan mid-W dash. A single root during Grand Entrance cancels the knock-up and leaves Rakan stranded. Her range also outpokes Q safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/morgana-the-fallen\/\">Morgana<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Black Shield completely negates The Quickness charm. A Morgana player watching for your R start will Black Shield their carry instantly, turning your ultimate into wasted mana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wiki\/leona-the-radiant-dawn\/\"><strong>Leona<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 Wins level 2 all-ins. Her point-and-click CC (E + Q) stops Rakan&#8217;s dashes and her tankiness means she out-sustains him in extended trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Is Rakan good without Xayah?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes. While the Xayah synergy (Lover&#8217;s Leap, extended Battle Dance range) is genuinely powerful, Rakan is a top-tier support in any botlane composition. His engage, peel, and mobility are fully functional with any ADC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What&#8217;s the best way to use The Quickness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Always pair it with Grand Entrance first. W knocks enemies up and clusters them, then R runs through multiple targets at once, maximizing charm stacks and duration extensions. Solo R without W setup is a wasted ultimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Should I build AP on Rakan?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: It depends on the matchup. Full AP Rakan is viable in coordinated play for massive shield values and W burst, but standard Shurelya&#8217;s + Locket is the safest path. AP items scale all his shields and heals significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: How does Rakan&#8217;s Lover&#8217;s Leap with Xayah work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: If one player starts Recall, the other can walk nearby within the recall window and start their own Recall. Both arrive at base at the same time. It saves valuable time and creates a free trading window in lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Is Rakan beginner-friendly?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Rakan has moderate complexity. His basic kit is easy to understand but his ceiling is high \u2013 knowing when to engage with W, how to chain W + R, and managing double Battle Dance casts under pressure takes practice.
