Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 as Akshan can poke you freely while you lack reliable gap closers to retaliate.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with your ultimate, but Akshan can still kite you effectively if he plays around walls and uses his E properly.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to wait for Akshan to use abilities on minions, then engage with Q-passive auto or E to close distance.
- Always try to proc your passive in trades and use your shroud to break his vision and avoid his damage while your cooldowns reset.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and looking for opportunities to freeze the wave near your tower where Akshan becomes vulnerable to ganks.
- When you have kill pressure post-6, try to set up slow pushes to create minion advantages for your all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade when Akshan is positioned near walls, as he can easily escape with his E swing.
- Never chase him through his team or into unwarded areas, as your mobility spells have long cooldowns and you'll be vulnerable if the trade goes poorly.
