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 Yone

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off after two Mortal Steels

    Get out of his line after two Mortal Steel (Q) hits: the next one makes him dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.

  2. Avoid his hits in spirit form

    During Soul Unbound (E), avoid taking hits: when he snaps back, part of all the damage he dealt you is repeated.

  3. Trap his return

    If you have ground-targeted CC, place it on the body he left behind: when Soul Unbound (E) ends, he has to return there.

  4. Judge him by his crit items

    Judge his threat by his crit items more than his level: Way of the Hunter (passive) raises his critical strike chance, so each crit item does more for him.

  5. Don't line up with your allies

    In teamfights, don't line up with your allies in front of him: Fate Sealed (R) hits every enemy in a line and knocks them into the air toward him.
