Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Akali excels at killing weaker characters. Let your team initiate and then strike at the people in the back.
  • Find the balance between storing Essence of Shadows, and using Shadow Dance before having max charges.

Playing against

  • Akali can still be hit by area effect spells while invisible inside Twilight Shroud.
  • Akali greatly benefits from both Mejai's Soulstealer and the Sword of the Occult. Watch which items she gets and prioritize her accordingly.
  • Return to base if your Health is low and Akali has multiple charges of her ultimate.
