Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range with Q poke and E mobility to avoid Akali's Q trades.
- At level 6, Akali becomes significantly stronger as her R gives her multiple gap closers that can bypass your E escape, making her the favored duelist.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke from max range followed by immediate repositioning to avoid retaliation.
- When Akali uses Q on minions or misses, you can E forward for a quick auto-Q-auto combo before using E again to disengage safely.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push early to build minion advantage while staying healthy through range advantage.
- After level 6, keep waves closer to your tower as Akali's all-in potential increases dramatically with her ultimate availability.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E aggressively without vision of the enemy jungler, as you'll have no escape tool if ganked.
- Don't waste your W defensively against Akali's poke - save it for her all-in attempts when she commits with R, as the crowd control can be fight-changing.
