Hwei into Rakanmedium

Overview

Use long-range poke and CC to control brush and deny Rakan engage angles.
Prioritize ADC safety by holding root or fear to peel Rakan's fast engage.
Control wave state to enable safe roams after crashing, limiting Rakan's roam impact.

Rakan's knockup plus ADC follow-up creates high all-in threat; hold peel for this.
Rakan dashing from brush or fog grants surprise engage angles; maintain vision and deny brush.
Level 6 charm can chain CC on grouped targets; avoid clustering and respect cooldowns.

Contest level 2 only if ADC can follow Rakan's + engage threat.
Deny brush control to reduce Rakan's flank angles and protect ADC access.
Use poke to force Rakan and ADC back, securing early lane priority and safer wave setups.

Level 2: Rakan's + combo enables strong engage; respect or avoid fights without ADC backup.
Level 3: Unlock full spellbook for flexible CC and shield, improving peel and poke.
Level 6: Use all-in windows to punish Rakan after his ultimate is spent or to initiate with ADC follow-up.

Convert poke and CC into denied ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Roam safely after wave crash with vision control to impact mid and dragon setups.
Use all-in with ADC follow-up to secure kills or force enemy summoners, enabling objective control.
