Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 trades heavily as Akali can Q-passive-E combo you repeatedly while you lack range and mobility.
- Post-6 you gain significant advantage with ranged attacks and R safety, making extended trades favorable if you space properly.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q-auto when she goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid her Q-passive retaliation.
- After 6, you can W-Q-auto-E for longer trades while maintaining distance with your range advantage.
Wave Control
- Push early waves hard with Q to hit level 6 first, then maintain slow pushes to deny her roam opportunities.
- Your wave clear becomes superior post-6, allowing you to create recall timings and maintain lane priority.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her early aggression or fight in extended trades pre-6 where she excels.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or areas where she can land free E engages without vision.
