Rakan vs Xerath

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (W) and (R) to create fast engages when ADC is ready to follow up.
Control bot-side brush to deny Xerath's poke angles and enable safer engages.
Leverage mobility to shield and reposition ADC against Xerath's long-range poke.

Trading pattern

Engage with (W) only when ADC can immediately follow for knockup chain.
Hold (E) to peel or re-engage after (W) to protect ADC from Xerath's poke.
Avoid wasting (W) in obvious poke trades; bait (E) to punish ADC access.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun range which can isolate your ADC from safety.
Avoid extended fights when (R) is up due to his long-range follow-up.
Be cautious when ADC is out of position near Xerath's poke range or brush control.

Early game

Win level 2 by coordinating (W)+(E) engage with ADC for knockup follow-up.
Deny Xerath brush control to reduce his poke and stun angles.
Crash wave quickly after level 2 to open roam windows and secure river vision.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(E) engage combo, increasing kill threat with ADC follow-up.
Level 6 charm (R) enables multi-target engages or peel, shifting fight momentum.
Post first item Xerath becomes stronger; prioritize vision and engage windows before this.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and engage cooldowns into ADC access denial and pick setups.
Use wave crash and roam timers to set river vision and prepare dragon objectives.
Leverage (R) charm with grouped enemies to initiate teamfights or force enemy retreats.

Tip: For Rakan vs Xerath, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
