| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Level 1 you outrange Rakan who has no early poke. |
| Level 2 | Lux | Level 2 your Q-E poke beats his delayed W trade. |
| Level 3 | Lux | Level 3 you keep chipping him from safe range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Through 4-5 your snare zones his wind-up engage. |
| Level 6 | Rakan | Rakan's level-6 R plus W flank all-in overpowers your single snare. |
| First item | Lux | At first item your burst punishes his engage wind-up. |
| Two+ items | Rakan | By 2+ items his fog flanks and double-dash beat your reaction. |
Levels 1-4 are yours: Rakan has no reliable poke and his W engage has a clear wind-up animation, so you sit at max Q range and chip him and his ADC freely. Land Light Binding when he steps up and your E zones the follow-up, keeping him too low to commit.
