Your resurrection passive (Going Rogue) can change a teamfight — focus the champion who killed your allies to bring them back.
E (Heroic Swing) can be cancelled early to reposition — you don't have to complete the full swing.
Use W (Going Rogue) to roam invisibly along walls — it's one of the best roaming tools in the game.
Q (Avengerang) returns like a boomerang — position yourself so both the outgoing and return hit minions or the enemy.

Playing against Akshan
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Don't turn your back on him if he's swinging with E — he fires auto-attacks during the movement and deals a lot of damage.
Avoid being the last one to kill an enemy when Akshan is on the opposing team — he can resurrect his allies by killing you.
His E can be interrupted by any hard CC — a stun or knockup cancels his swing immediately.
