Scuttle Contest
- You win scuttle fights through superior range with your auto attacks and Q poke, forcing Akali to engage unfavorably or give up positioning.
- Post-6, you can only guarantee wins when Akali has no R charges and you maintain maximum range with traps (W) for zone control.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Akali will likely start her opposite side buff, clear towards scuttle, then look for early ganks on overextended lanes since her clear speed is mediocre.
- She prioritizes ganking over farming efficiency, especially targeting immobile champions in mid/top lane.
Invade or Not
- Invade at her second buff around 3:15-3:30 when she's low on health and abilities are on cooldown from her initial clear.
- Avoid invading after level 6 unless you have significant backup, as her R mobility makes escapes too easy.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never face-check bushes or fight in enclosed jungle areas where Akali can use W shroud effectively.
- Avoid using your E net aggressively for damage, as you need it to escape her R-E engage combo.
