Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 due to your range advantage and ability to poke with Q while Akali lacks gap closers.
- At level 6, Akali becomes significantly more dangerous with her ultimate, but you can still win if you maintain proper spacing and use your E to disengage her all-ins.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using Q to poke when Akali goes for CS, then auto-attacking to proc your passive for the shield.
- Always position near walls or minions to have escape routes with your E, and never trade in extended fights where she can proc her passive multiple times.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Akali farm while staying safe from ganks.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as Akali excels at all-ins when you're overextended and she has minion advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your E aggressively to engage trades, as it's your only escape tool against Akali's multiple gap closers.
- Don't stand in her shroud trying to fight her, as you'll lose vision and she'll out-trade you with her passive empowered autos.
