One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
How to play it
- Press early
Kalista is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Rakan reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Cut the healing
Rakan sustains — Chempunk Chainsword on your first back.
When you are in danger
- Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Rakan's crowd control.

How to beat Rakan
- Build magic resist like Mercury's Treads or Force of Nature
- Use hard CC before he can dash / blink
- Hard to pin down without CC — don't waste delayed skill-shots
- Buy Quicksilver Sash for tenacity / cleanse
How to play as Kalista
- Stay behind the frontline, Infinity Edge + attack speed second, kite divers
- Time CC on priority targets (ADC or Mid) to set up your team
- Use dashes for poke and escape — never blink without an out
