Brackern[]

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun[]

The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.

Eka'Sul[]

Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis[]

Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.

Kmiros[]

Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for Rammus Rammus.

Outerbeasts[]

Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.

  • Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger. Rek'Sai Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.

Ralsiji[]

Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.

Shuriman Camel[]

A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.

Sandswimmers[]

Shurima Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.


Skallashi[]

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Rakan is a champion in League of Legends.[1]


Abilities[]

Rakan has ability interactions with Xayah Xayah.

Edit

Fey Feathers

Innate: Periodically, Rakan grants himself a shield for 30 − 225 (based on level) Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 95% AP) that lasts until broken. After being out of combat for 5 seconds, any leftover shield will be restored to maximum value.

Rakan's basic attacks and ability hits reduce Fey Feathers'  cooldown by 1 second for each enemy champion hit.

Innate - Lover's Leap: If either Rakan or Xayah Xayah is channeling Recall Recall, the other may move nearby and channel their own to join alongside them. Both reach base at the time of which the initiator's Recall Recall completes.

Info
  • Revitalize 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.

Edit

Gleaming Quill

Active: Rakan slings an enchanted feather in the target direction that deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to the first enemy hit.

Magic Damage:
70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 70% AP)

If the target was an enemy champion or epic monster, a radius is marked around Rakan. After 3 seconds or if an allied champion enters the radius, Rakan heals himself and nearby allied champions for 40 − 210 (based on level) Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 55% AP).

Info
  • 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.

Edit

Grand Entrance

Active: Rakan dashes to the target location. After a 0.35-second delay upon arrival, he deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to nearby enemies and knocks them up for 1 second.

Magic Damage:
70 / 120 / 170 / 220 / 270 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 80% AP)

Rakan will be knocked down by any immobilizing or polymorphing crowd control, excluding sleep(bug), during Grand Entrance.

Grand Entrance will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Info
  • No additional details.

Edit

Battle Dance

Active: Rakan grants a shield to the target allied champion for 3 seconds and then dashes to and around them. Battle Dance can be recast within 5 seconds at no additional cost.

Shield Strength:
50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 70% AP)

Recast: Rakan mimics the first cast's effects.

Rakan will be knocked down by any immobilizing or polymorphing crowd control, excluding sleep(bug), during Battle Dance.

If Xayah Xayah is the target, Battle Dance can be cast from an increased range.

Info
  • Both casts count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's Force Pulse's passive.
  • The shields do not stack if Battle Dance is cast on the same target twice. Only the duration and shield amount is refreshed.

Edit

The Quickness

Active: Rakan breaks into a captivating sprint for 4 seconds, gaining ghosting and  Champions killed 5s before or after using Chronobreak (R)75% bonus movement speed for the duration. During this time, he deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to enemies he collides with and charms and slows them by 75% for a duration. This cannot affect the same enemy more than once.

Magic Damage:
100 / 200 / 300 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 50% AP)
Disable Duration:
1 / 1.25 / 1.5 seconds

Colliding with an enemy champion extends The Quickness' duration by 0.25 seconds, which can occur once per champion. When Rakan collides with his first enemy champion, he gains an additional Champions killed 5s before or after using Chronobreak (R)75% bonus movement speed that decays after 0.5 seconds by 20% every 0.5 seconds, then by 15% after decaying by 60% over 1.5 seconds.

During The Quickness, Rakan cannot basic attack enemy champions he did not collide with, unless the attack command was inputted before the ability was activated.

    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.

    Trivia[]

    • Rakan's and Xayah's Xayah's dual release is the first one since V1.0.0.72.
    • Rakan's and Xayah's loading screens always align themselves to the rightmost side before a game starts and when picked on the same team (to mirror their shared splash art).
    • Rakan's cloak is actually his wings disguised by Vastayan magic in order to blend in with humans.
    • Rakan and Xayah are sometimes depicted together with combined wings. The one-winged Jian bird in Chinese mythology has a similar codependency, which represents the bond of two lovers.
    • Rakan has the second highest basic attack range amongst melee champions (300 units) behind Lillia Lillia (325 units).
      • He used to have the lowest basic attack range amongst ranged champions prior to V12.22.
    • Rakan's favorite human food is chocolate; even though chocolate's theobromine may poison Rakan due to his half-bird physiology, his human half may help metabolize the compound & alleviate its effects.
    • Rakan's dance references Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley.
      • A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
        • He shared this dance with Pantheon Pantheon, until the latter eventually got a full relaunch.
    • 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]
    • His name resembles the Malay noun rakan "friend, relative";
    • He is the only champion with 3 points at 3 skills by the client classification.
