4. Utilize E for safe escapes
5. Look for roaming opportunities when ADC is safe

Essential Combos:

• R > W > E for team fight initiation
• W > E for quick engage and disengage
• E > W > R for surprise engages from allies

Remember to coordinate with your team and time your engages carefully to maximize Rakan's impact in team fights.
