Rakan is a champion in League of Legends.[1]


Abilities[]

Rakan has ability interactions with Xayah Xayah.

Edit

Fey Feathers

Fey Feathers

Innate: Periodically, Rakan grants himself a Hybrid resistances icon shield for 30 − 225 (based on level) (+ 95% AP) that lasts until broken. After being out of combat for 5 seconds, any leftover shield will be restored to maximum value.

Rakan's basic attacks and ability hits reduce Fey Feathers' Cooldown icon cooldown by 1 second for each enemy Champion icon champion hit.

ProfileIcon1634 Blazing Feathers

Innate - Lover's Leap: If either Rakan or Xayah Xayah is channeling Recall Recall, the other may move nearby and channel their own to join alongside them. Both reach base at the time of which the initiator's Recall Recall completes.

Info
  • Revitalize Revitalize will record bonus shielding when a new shield is created, but not when it regenerates. In either case, there is no bonus shielding received.
  • The cooldown reduction is granted even if the ability is blocked by a Spell Shield spell shield.

Edit

Gleaming Quill

Gleaming Quill

Active: Rakan slings an enchanted feather in the target direction that deals magic damage to the first enemy hit.

Magic Damage:
70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+ 70% AP)

If the target was an enemy Champion icon champion or epic Monster icon monster, a radius is marked around Rakan. After 3 seconds or if an allied champion enters the radius, Rakan Heal power icon heals himself and nearby allied champions for 40 − 210 (based on level) (+ 55% AP).

Info
  • The trigger radius is slightly smaller than the heal radius.
  • Spell Shield Spell shield will not prevent the marked area from being formed.
  • The heal can activate immediately after the projectile hits the target, before the healing return animation completes.
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
  • The heal will trigger and affect Rakan even if he is Untargetable icon untargetable.

Edit

Grand Entrance

Grand Entrance

Active: Rakan Dash dashes to the target location. After a 0.35-second delay upon arrival, he deals magic damage to nearby enemies and Airborne icon knocks them up for 1 second.

Magic Damage:
70 / 120 / 170 / 220 / 270 (+ 80% AP)

Rakan will be Knockdown icon knocked down by any Stun icon immobilizing or Silence icon polymorphing crowd control, excluding Sleep icon sleep(bug), during Grand Entrance.

Grand Entrance will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Info
  • No additional details.

Edit

Battle Dance

Battle Dance

Active: Rakan grants a Hybrid resistances icon shield to the target allied champion for 3 seconds and then Dash dashes to and around them. Battle Dance can be recast within 5 seconds at no additional cost.

Shield Strength:
50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+ 70% AP)
Battle Dance 2

Recast: Rakan mimics the first cast's effects.

Rakan will be Knockdown icon knocked down by any Stun icon immobilizing or Silence icon polymorphing crowd control, excluding Sleep icon sleep(bug), during Battle Dance.

If Xayah Xayah is the target, Battle Dance can be cast from an increased range.

Info
  • Both casts count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Sheen item Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's Force Pulse's passive.
  • The shields do not stack if Battle Dance is cast on the same target twice. Only the duration and shield amount is refreshed.

Edit

The Quickness

The Quickness

Active: Rakan breaks into a captivating sprint for 4 seconds, gaining Ghost ghosting and Movement speed icon 75% bonus movement speed for the duration. During this time, he deals magic damage to enemies he collides with and Charm icon charms and Slow icon slows them by 75% for a duration. This cannot affect the same enemy more than once.

Magic Damage:
100 / 200 / 300 (+ 50% AP)
Disable Duration:
1 / 1.25 / 1.5

Colliding with an enemy Champion icon champion extends The Quickness' duration by 0.25 seconds, which can occur once per champion. When Rakan collides with his first enemy champion, he gains an additional 75% bonus movement speed that decays after 0.5 seconds by 20% every 0.5 seconds, then by 15% after decaying by 60% over 1.5 seconds.

During The Quickness, Rakan cannot basic attack enemy champions he did not collide with, unless the attack command was inputted before the ability was activated.

    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.

    Trivia[]

    • Rakan's and Xayah's Xayah's dual release is the first one since V1.0.0.72.
    • Rakan's and Xayah's loading screens always align themselves to the rightmost side before a game starts and when picked on the same team (to mirror their shared splash art).
    • Rakan's cloak is actually his wings disguised by Vastayan magic in order to blend in with humans.
    • Rakan and Xayah are sometimes depicted together with combined wings. The one-winged Jian bird in Chinese mythology has a similar codependency, which represents the bond of two lovers.
    • Rakan has the second highest basic attack range amongst Melee role melee champions (300 units) behind Lillia Lillia (325 units).
      • He used to have the lowest basic attack range amongst Ranged role ranged champions prior to V12.22.
    • Rakan's favorite human food is chocolate; even though chocolate's theobromine may poison Rakan due to his half-bird physiology, his human half may help metabolize the compound & alleviate its effects.
    • Rakan's dance references Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley.
      • A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
        • He shared this dance with Pantheon Pantheon, until the latter eventually got a full relaunch.
    • When Rakan basic attacks from a far distance he hits his target with his cape, if he is closer, he will punch them instead.
      • At release, Rakan had a hidden passive: he also dealt 1 more physical damage with his punches.[2]
    • His name resembles the Malay noun rakan "friend, relative";
    • He is the only champion with 3 points at 3 skills by the client classification.
