Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range, mana sustain, and consistent poke damage with Q and auto attacks.
- At level 6, you maintain advantage through charm's ability to interrupt Akali's ultimate engages, but must respect her kill pressure if you miss it.
How to Trade
- You should poke with Q whenever Akali goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid her passive proc trade.
- Use charm defensively when she tries to all-in, and only go for aggressive charm plays when her shroud is on cooldown.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain slow pushes and poke Akali under tower, forcing her to use energy on farming rather than trading.
- Keep the wave in the middle or slightly pushed to have room to kite backwards when she engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to waste charm on minions or miss it during crucial moments, as it's your only reliable disengage tool.
- Never face-check bushes or unwarded areas after level 6, as Akali's shroud makes her ganks and roams extremely dangerous.
