Playing as Akshan

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Extend your boomerang off minions

    Throw Avengerang (Q) through minions toward your opponent: each enemy hit extends its range, and it deals damage both on the way out and on the way back.

  2. Jump off at the right time

    Jump off Heroic Swing (E) as soon as you're well placed: you don't have to finish the swing, and the jump fires one last shot.

  3. Kill the Scoundrel to revive allies

    Focus the Scoundrels marked by Going Rogue (W) first: killing one revives the allies they killed and gives you bonus gold.

  4. Roam along walls

    Roam with Going Rogue (W) along walls and brush: away from terrain, you lose your camouflage quickly.

Playing against Syndra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't line up with her spheres

    Don't stand in line between Syndra and one of her spheres: Scatter the Weak (E) pushes it toward you, and it stuns the enemies it hits.

  2. Engage after Scatter the Weak

    If you can engage, go in right after Scatter the Weak (E): she has no dash and nothing else to push you back during its 15-second cooldown.

  3. Count her spheres once she hits 6

    Once she hits level 6, count her spheres before taking a trade: Unleashed Power (R) launches the 3 orbiting her at you, plus up to 4 more nearby.
