Playing as Akali

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Leave the ring for your auto

    After each spell that hits, step out of the Assassin's Mark (passive) ring: your next auto gains range and damage.

  2. Mark before you leap

    Mark your target with Shuriken Flip (E) before leaping with Perfect Execution (R): recasting Shuriken Flip takes you back to them, even after your leap.

  3. Dive inside your smoke

    Cast Twilight Shroud (W) to dive under the enemy tower: inside the smoke you are invisible and untargetable, but an auto or a spell reveals you briefly.

  4. Save your second dash to finish

    Save the second dash of Perfect Execution (R) to finish: its damage grows with the target's missing health.

Playing against Naafiri

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her daggers

    Dodge Darkin Daggers (Q): her pack leaps onto the first champion hit, and the second dagger hits harder if you're already bleeding.

  2. Kill her pack with AoE spells

    If you have AoE spells, hit her pack too: each packmate killed lowers her damage. Do it before Eviscerate (E) calls them back and heals them.

  3. Wait out The Call of the Pack

    Save your targeted spells for after The Call of the Pack (W): for a brief moment, she and her pack are untargetable.

  4. Don't wander alone

    Avoid crossing the map alone against her: Hounds' Pursuit (R) lets her dash onto a champion from range, and a takedown lets her recast it.
