Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Dashing

    Prismatic

    Your dash, leap, blink, or teleport Abilities gain 200 Ability Haste.

    Why on Rakan

    Grand Entrance (W) and Battle Dance (E) are both dashes, so you can knock up enemies and shield allies far more often in each round.

  2. Dark Blessing

    Gold

    Healing or Shielding an ally grants you permanent Cursed Power. Gain Ability Haste based on your Cursed Power.

    Why on Rakan

    Battle Dance (E) shields allies and Gleaming Quill (Q) heals them, so you stack Cursed Power constantly, and the extra Ability Haste brings those casts back faster.

  3. Courage of the Colossus

    Prismatic

    Gain Shield after Immobilizing or Grounding an enemy champion.

    Why on Rakan

    The knock-up from Grand Entrance (W) shields you as you land in the enemy team, helping you survive the engage before dashing out with Battle Dance (E).
