One of the coolest supports ever.

He's a very supporty support, and yet, because of how close ranged he is, you don't just build him like he was any type of utility support.

If you ask me what the best item on him is, Zeke's Harbinger. It's, freaking, perfect.

It gives Mana, cooldown reduction, armor, and ability power.

All of which Rakan can definitely use.

What else?

Bam, critical strike chance.

Why would that be important on Rakan you ask? It's not at all important actually. No, no. Not for him.

For Xayah! Her E scales with her critical strike chance!

When she W's, and you combo that with Zeke's, your own autoattacks with the lesser bolts will critically strike!

My ideal build? Get Frost Queen's Claim for extra CC and AP. Xayah already grants move speed with her W. Get Zeke's Harbinger(I already explained this). Ruby Sightstone(Grants item cooldown reduction, I love it), Redemption(Cause I am a true believer), and Mikael's Crucible.

Mikael's Crucible isn't a must pick, but it is useful because of the Mana regen. Thanks to Chalice of Harmony, you also get some health regen. It grants MR and it does increase your shielding power and healing power.

Don't forget it's active. It can keep Xayah extra safe, even with her Ult.

Finally, boots. You don't need speed, trust me. Just get Ninja Tabi for extra tankiness.

Now for situational items.

Now some of you might run Talisman of Ascension. That's actually not a bad choice. It's a safe choice. Tankiness means you won't get punished as much for making a mistake. The move speed could save your life too.

I just like Frost Queen's for extra CC and damage.

I wouldn't run Athene's because the 20% cooldown reduction can't fit in. But if you wanna give it a try, go ahead. It's a good item that works well with Rakan. Just need the right build to go with it.

Ardent Censer is there, it's a good offense item. Replace Mikael's with it if you feel confident that you won't get Xayah killed.

Nothing in Locket of the Iron Solari synergizes with him, I mean. It's tanky, but it isn't Rakan.

Rakan probably hates it cause it's dull.

Get it if your team just sucks to hell.

Knight's Vow. I...I mean, it's good. But Rakan isn't a tank, he's an off-tank at most, there's just better options out there.
