Best ADC Synergies:

• Xerath (57.4% WR)
• Ziggs (55.0% WR)

Pro Tips:

1. Avoid taking unnecessary poke damage that prevents W engagement
2. Flank with ultimate instead of engaging head-on
3. Coordinate roam timing with ADC's safety
4. Use E as an escape after W-R combo initiation

Optimal Engage Combo: R (activate) → Flank → W (knockup) → E (escape)

This rune setup enhances Rakan's core strengths as an engage support while providing defensive tools for both himself and his allies. The combination of Guardian and Domination runes enables both playmaking and survivability in teamfights.

Advanced Roaming Strategy:

• Look for mid-lane roams after base
• Assist jungler during neutral objectives
• Ensure ADC has safe wave position before leaving
• Track enemy vision to avoid detection
