Learn how to play with Akshan with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When an ally dies, the enemy champion who killed them becomes a Scoundrel (marked with an icon visible to all players). If Akshan scores a takedown on this marked enemy within 3 seconds of damaging them, he will resurrect all teammates that Scoundrel killed.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
In teamfights, don't expect Akshan to frontline or engage first. Instead, provide primary engage tools and CC for him to follow up on, as he performs best when cleaning up after your initiation.
Basic Team Fight
When Akshan fires his E hook at terrain, be ready for him to swing in and engage. Follow up with your crowd control abilities immediately after his contact since he lacks hard CC but can deal significant damage.
Skirmish Team Fight
When Akshan begins channeling his R on an enemy, they are revealed for the duration plus 2 seconds after. Use this opportunity to coordinate abilities on the revealed target, especially if they try to hide in brush or fog of war.
Team Fight Skirmish
In skirmishes, try to damage multiple enemies rather than focusing one down completely. This lets Akshan use his mobility to clean up wounded targets and potentially trigger his revive mechanic on Scoundrels.
Team Fight Skirmish
After Akshan pushes his mid lane wave, be prepared for him to roam using his W camouflage. Create pressure in your lane but avoid full commitments until he arrives, making it easier for him to swing in with his E.
Lane Phase
Akshan's passive grants him a shield when he applies 3 stacks to an enemy champion. In fights, allow him a few seconds to build these stacks before fully engaging to maximize his survivability.
Skirmish Lane Phase
Position yourself to intercept enemy skill shots aimed at Akshan during fights. Hard crowd control completely disrupts his E swing, drastically reducing his effectiveness and mobility in combat.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Place Control Wards and Stealth Wards in jungle pathways around mid lane. This helps Akshan by both securing terrain for his E swing and providing safety during his camouflaged W roams.
Lane Phase Skirmish
In the late game, stay near Akshan if you're a priority target. He often shadows enemy assassins to quickly punish anyone who kills you, potentially resurrecting you through his W passive.
