Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and poke with Q-E combos while Akali lacks gap closers.
- At level 6, Akali gains kill pressure with R but you maintain advantage if you respect her all-in range and maintain distance.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is Q-E-auto when Akali goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid her Q return damage.
- Never trade in extended fights - use your range to poke and disengage before she can proc her passive or land multiple Qs.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with E to establish level advantage and recall timing, then maintain neutral positioning around mid-lane.
- Avoid hard shoving post-6 unless you have vision, as extended lanes give Akali more room to run you down with R.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never face-check bushes or fight in Akali's W shroud where you lose your range advantage completely.
- Don't waste Q on minions when Akali is in kill range, as it's your only reliable self-peel tool against her R engage.
