Gleaming Quill heals everyone around you in a small radius so it’s a way to affect multiple allies with Ardent Censer‘s buff.

Through this combo, you will be able to damage the enemy team while healing yourself and your teammates using Gleaming Quill. If Gleaming Quill hits an enemy champion or Epic monster (Drakes, Rift Herald, Baron), it releases an aura around Rakan that heals him and nearby allies after a short duration or when he comes in contact with allies.Ī reliable usage of Gleaming Quill is through Rakan’s basic combo which goes like this:Ģnd, Grand Entrance+ 1st, Gleaming Quill + 3rd, Battle Dance It has a short distance and a relatively long cooldown so it is unreliable to use as a poke harass. Gleaming Quill is a short-range skill shot which deals magic damage to the first enemy hit. Hitting multiple enemies with 2nd, Grand Entrance, and Ult, The Quickness reduces the cooldown of Fey Shield fast because each champion hit registers a one-second reduction in the cooldown of Fey Feathers. In the earlier stages of the game, you’ll want to wait for Fey Feathers to be active before going in to minimize the risk of diving as Rakan is not exactly that tanky especially in the early game.Įvery time Rakan hits an enemy champion with his auto attacks or abilities, the cooldown for Fey Feathers is reduced by one second. The shield from Fey Feathers allows you extra room for absorbing damage when you are diving in using your 2nd, Grand Entrance. The shield scales through AP so Rakan will be tanky even if you build him with AP support items. Rakan gains a shield after a few seconds have passed. Staff of Flowing Waters is the AP equivalent of Ardent Censer. If you have an AP teammate who’s popping off in the early game, consider buying this first isntead of Ardent Censer.Crystalline Reflector increases your tankiness against physical damage since Rakan will always be diving enemy lines, this item is a perfect fit for you.Zeke’s Convergence grants bonus damage to a nearby allied champion when you cast your ultimate and if that champion attacks someone nearby, you will gain an AoE damage and slow effect which fits perfectly with your ultimate’s effects.Ardent Censer’s bonus attack speed and magic damage effect will enable you and more importantly, your ADC to deal more damage.
Rakan runes upgrade#
Upgrade with the Redeeming Enchant for objective control or upgrade with the Protobelt Enchant for stronger initiation potential. Mercury’s Treads is the main boots choice for Rakan because he is weak against crowd controls.Do not upgrade it into Hextech Gunblade yet unless you are bagging a lot of takedowns in the early game.
