Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 as your mana costs are prohibitive and your damage output is significantly lower than Akali's sustained trading.
- At level 6, the matchup becomes more manageable as your ultimate provides waveclear and zone control, though you still lose direct 1v1s if caught without abilities.
How to Trade
- You should focus on Q-E combos when Akali goes for CS, then immediately back away to avoid extended trades.
- Use your wall to create distance after trading and never try to auto attack trade as her passive will outdamage you significantly.
Wave Control
- You need to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to avoid being all-inned in the long lane.
- Post-6, you can clear waves quickly with R-E and look to roam or back for items rather than fighting her directly.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to miss your Q stun as this is your only reliable way to create distance and avoid her all-in potential.
- Never face-check bushes or fight without your wall available, as Akali's mobility will make it impossible to escape once she commits to killing you.
