Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 convincingly with your E blocking her Q poke and auto-attacks, allowing you to trade favorably with W-auto combos.
- At level 6, Akali gains the advantage as her R1-E-Q-R2 combo can burst you down while staying mobile enough to avoid your counter-engage.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is E-Q-W-auto then immediately back off to avoid extended trades where she can proc her passive.
- Wait for your E cooldown before engaging again, as it's your primary tool to negate her damage output.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish lane priority and deny her CS, but transition to freezing near your tower once she hits 6.
- This forces her to overextend for farm and makes her vulnerable to ganks while limiting her roaming potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase Akali into unwarded areas or her shroud without vision, as she excels at kiting and re-engaging on her terms.
- Don't waste your Q gap-closer when her E is available, as she can easily dodge and counter-engage with her superior mobility.
