How to win lane as Rakan against Leona · 52.09% win rate over 3,087 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Rakan | Level 1 favours you slightly before Leona unlocks her Zenith Blade engage. |
| Level 2 | Leona | At level 2 her E-into-Q stun chain out-locks your single dash and bursts you. |
| Level 3 | Leona | Level 3 deepens her CC window where one root chains her whole combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Leona | Through 4-5 her lockdown duration still beats your W, so she wins the all-in. |
| Level 6 | Rakan | Your level 6 R answers her engage, charming her team or repositioning out of Solar Flare. |
| First item | Rakan | First-item mobility lets you dodge her E and counter-engage on the empty cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Rakan | In late fights you bait her fixed-range E, W-charm her off your carry, and disengage cleanly. |
Level 1 is even-to-yours before she has E, but from level 2 Leona takes over: Zenith Blade into her Q stun locks you long enough to be bursted, and her CC duration beats your single W dash if you engage first.
