Scuttle Contest
- You lose scuttle fights level 3 due to Akshan's superior early damage and mobility.
- From level 6, you can only win 1v1s if you land Q on Akshan when his E is on cooldown and he has no minions or jungle monsters to swing to.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Akshan will likely start bot side for a leashless clear, then path towards top side to avoid your early ganks.
- He'll prioritize farming to level 6 quickly while looking for counter-gank opportunities when you show on map.
Invade or Not
- You should not invade Akshan early as he outdamages you significantly and can escape with E.
- Your only invasion window is post-6 when you have ultimate advantage, targeting him when he's low after clearing camps.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on Akshan when his E is available as he'll simply swing away and kite you to death.
- Avoid fighting him in areas with multiple walls or jungle monsters that give him E reset opportunities.
