Rakan
GameplayRakan is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
Rakan has ability interactions with 
Xayah.
- Revitalize will record bonus shielding when a new shield is created, but not when it regenerates. In either case, there is no bonus shielding received.
- The cooldown reduction is granted even if the ability is blocked by a spell shield.
- The trigger radius is slightly smaller than the heal radius.
- Spell shield will not prevent the marked area from being formed.
- The heal can activate immediately after the projectile hits the target, before the healing return animation completes.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The heal will trigger and affect Rakan even if he is untargetable.
- Both casts count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
- The shields do not stack if Battle Dance is cast on the same target twice. Only the duration and shield amount is refreshed.
- The following table refers for interactions while Rakan is in cast time:
| Type | Cast time | |

| Attacking | Allowed | |
| Abilities |  Grand Entrance is disabled but can still be buffered.  Gleaming Quill and  Battle Dance are usable.

Champion skins
- This article section only contains champion skins. For all associated collection items, see Rakan (Collection).
As mercurial as he is charming, Rakan is an infamous vastayan troublemaker and the greatest battle-dancer in Lhotlan tribal history. To the humans of the Ionian highlands, his name has long been synonymous with wild festivals, uncontrollable parties, and anarchic music. Few would suspect this energetic, traveling showman is also partner to the rebel Xayah, and is dedicated to her cause.

- Rakan's dance references Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley.
- When Rakan basic attacks from a far distance he hits his target with his cape, if he is closer, he will punch them instead.
- At release, Rakan had a hidden passive: he also dealt 1 more physical damage with his punches.[2]

- He is the only champion with 3 points at 3 skills by the client classification.
