Why Summon Aery
Aery on Rakan allows you to repeatedly apply the shield with [Q]'s heal and a spaced-out timing of both [E] shields, for tons of damage mitigation.
Why Nimbus Cloak
Nimbus Cloak synergizes fantastically with Rakan's [R], empowering your ability to hard engage a skirmish/teamfight at will.

Why Scorch
Scorch allows you to poke and trade aggressively in during the laning phase if you are able to land [Q].
WhyBone Plating
Bone Plating's burst damage mitigation helps you to survive and withstand incoming damage after a hard-engage so that you're able to get in and get out.
