Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and Q poke, forcing Akali to farm with Q and take unfavorable trades.
- At level 6, Akali gains kill pressure with R engage potential, but you maintain advantage if you respect her all-in range and use R for disengage.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q poke when Akali goes for CS, then kiting back with passive movement speed to avoid her Q-auto retaliation.
- Extended trades favor you with Q stacks and W follow-up, but disengage immediately if she lands E or gets within auto range.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish priority and roam timing, but transition to freezing once Akali hits 6 to deny her farm safely.
- Your wave clear advantage lets you match her roams, but avoid slow pushing into her as it gives her R engage opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never face-check bushes or fight in jungle chokes where Akali can use W effectively to reset trades.
- Don't greed for Q poke when your escape abilities are down, as her E-R combo can gap close faster than your kiting potential.
