Rakan's Abilities

Fey Feathers Rakan's Passive

Self

Rakan periodically generates a 33-254 (+90% of ability power) shield with a cooldown of 40-14.5 seconds (depending on level). Damaging an enemy champion with a basic attack or ability reduces Fey Feathers cooldown by 1.5 seconds which will cap at level 18.

Lover's Leap: If either Rakan or Xayah is recalling, the other may move nearby and activate their own recall to join them. Both reach base at the time of which the initiator's recall ends.

Gleaming Quill Rakan's Q Ability

900

12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8

Rakan slings an enchanted feather forward, dealing 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to the first enemy hit.

If that enemy was a champion or epic monster, a small circular area is marked around Rakan. After a short period of time or if an ally champion comes into contact with the marked area, Rakan heals himself and surrounding allies by 18-120 (based on level) (+70% of ability power).

Grand Entrance Rakan's W Ability

600

50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90

18 / 16.5 / 15 / 13.5 / 12

Rakan dashes forward, landing stylishly at his destination. After a 0.35s pause, he leaps into the air, dealing 70 / 125 / 180 / 235 / 290 (+70% of ability power) magic damage and knocking up surrounding enemies for 1 second.

Battle Dance Rakan's E Ability

700

60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100

20 / 18 / 16 / 14 / 12

Rakan leaps to an ally champion, shielding them for 40 / 65 / 90 / 115 / 140 (+80% of ability power) for 3 seconds. Battle Dance can be re-cast for 5 seconds at no cost.

When re-cast, Rakan may select the same target again.

If Xayah is the target, Battle Dance's range is increased by 300.

The Quickness Rakan's Ultimate (R) Ability

Self

100

130 / 110 / 90 / 90 / 90

Rakan gains 75% bonus movement speed for the next 4 seconds, dealing 100 / 200 / 300 (+50% of ability power) magic damage to each enemy he touches and charming them for 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 seconds. Enemies can only be affected once. The first champion charmed grants Rakan 150% decaying movement speed.
