Learn how to play with Akali with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Akali has no hard crowd control — coordinate with your team to have reliable stuns or roots available, especially against mobile targets she might struggle to lock down on her own.
Team Fight Skirmish
When Akali marks an enemy with her E, she can dash to them from anywhere on the map — engage on the marked target quickly to capitalize before the mark expires.
Skirmish Team Fight
When Akali reaches level 6, she gains two powerful dashes through her R with strong burst damage — follow up quickly when she dives, as her combo is fast but she is briefly vulnerable right after completing it.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Akali's second R dash deals bonus damage based on the target's missing health — chip away at enemies with your own abilities before she dives in so she can finish them off more easily.
Team Fight Skirmish
After Akali finishes her full combo, she needs a moment to wait for cooldowns before re-engaging — be ready to peel for her or provide shields during this vulnerable window.
Team Fight Skirmish
After Akali uses her first R dash, there is a short delay before she can use it again — provide damage or protection during this window while she is committed to the fight and cannot fully escape.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
