Learn how to Akshan counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Engage when Akshan's E (Heroic Swing) is on cooldown — without this mobility tool, he's much more vulnerable to all-ins and ganks.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Keep minions closer to your tower when laning against Akshan — this limits his E engagement options and makes his all-ins less effective.
Basic Lane Phase
Position away from walls when fighting Akshan — his E requires terrain to attach to, so forcing fights in open areas severely limits his mobility and damage.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Position behind allies or minions when Akshan uses his R — each bullet from Comeuppance stops at the first enemy hit, allowing you to reduce or completely avoid damage.
Team Fight Skirmish
Buy early armor when facing Akshan — he deals primarily physical damage, so even a small amount of armor significantly reduces his trading potential.
Basic Lane Phase
Save CC abilities to interrupt Akshan's R channel when possible — breaking his ultimate puts it on a 5-second cooldown and prevents large damage bursts.
Skirmish Team Fight
Don't chase Akshan into unwarded jungle areas — he may be leading you into an ambush, and his E mobility gives him a significant advantage around terrain.
Basic Skirmish Late Game
Maintain vision in brushes near mid lane — this helps reveal Akshan when he uses W (Going Rogue), preventing his stealth ganks and escapes.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Stay with teammates in mid-late game — Akshan excels at catching isolated targets with his mobility and stealth, and can resurrect allies if he kills you.
Late Game Team Fight
Move behind minions or change direction immediately after Akshan's first attack — this can force him to cancel his second shot, giving you a small movement speed window to disengage.
