How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his E

His E shreds your armor — get hit and he deals way too much damage while staying far tankier than you.

Grab early picks

You might kill him once or twice early — take those windows, because a real lead gets impossible once he's rolling.

You lose tempo

He has the best tempo in the game off his passive and ult, and Akali is one of the worst tempo champs — getting ahead is nearly impossible if he plays well.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never sit in his face trading — his E shreds your armor and he out-tanks and out-damages you.
