Neeko vs Rakan

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use disguise and brush control to create unpredictable engage angles against Rakan's mobile play.
Prioritize denying Rakan's engage by controlling brush and forcing him to waste (E) dashes defensively.
Enable your ADC's follow-up by landing (E) roots through minions and threatening (R) burst in grouped fights.

Trading pattern

Fish for (E) roots through minions to set up (Q) burst and force Rakan's peel cooldown.
Hold (R) threat to punish grouped enemy positioning and force Rakan to respect your engage.
Deny brush access to limit Rakan's dash angles and reduce his ability to threaten your ADC.

Danger windows

Respect (W) knockup combined with ADC follow-up as a high-threat engage window.
Avoid clustering near brush when (R) charm is available to prevent chained crowd control.
Be cautious when Rakan has both (E) charges ready, enabling quick engage and peel transitions.

Early game

Contest level 2 to avoid (W)+(E) engage combo enabling his ADC.
Use minion waves to angle (E) roots, forcing Rakan to hesitate on aggressive dashes.
Crash waves to create roam windows while maintaining vision to prevent Rakan's river flanks.

Power spikes

Level 2: (W)+(E) engage becomes dangerous; avoid extended trades without ADC follow-up.
Level 6: Your (R) enables strong all-ins and multi-target crowd control; use for picks or defensive resets.
First AP item: Increases your poke and root threat; pressure waves confidently while tracking Rakan's cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert root and (R) threat into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced spacing.
Use vision control around river and dragon to prevent Rakan's roams and secure objective setups.
Coordinate with your ADC for follow-up on (E) roots and (R) engages to win favorable 2v2 fights.
