How to play Rakan in ARAM Mayhem

Rakan is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #138 of 173 champions, with a 47.0% win rate over 240,209 games. Few players take it (1.0% of games), so enemies will rarely know the matchup well.

Rakan's damage is mixed (36% physical, 55% magic), which makes it awkward for the enemy team to itemize against. It keeps its team alive with 3,843 shielding on teammates in an average game; stay behind your frontline and save it for the fights that matter. It soaks 59,016 damage per game and mitigates another 83,765, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't. With 50 seconds of crowd control per game it is one of the team's main sources of lockdown.

Most Rakan players go Tank (70% of games), but the AP path, ability power items, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Luden's Echo, Shadowflame and Rabadon's Deathcap, with a 52.5% win rate. On this build 46% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Rakan are Omni Soul, Infinite Recursion and Protein Shake. Cards built around health and resistances fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability haste. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Overloaded and Mystic Punch when you can: they do worst on Rakan. A pair to look for: Protein Shake with Enchanting Butterflies.

Take Flash and Mark (92% of players). Max W (Grand Entrance) first, then E, then Q.
