Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and wave control with Q poke and E root setups.
- Post-6 Akali gains kill pressure with R dashes, but you can still win if you land E into full combo before she engages.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve Q through minions to hit Akali, then E if she tries to engage, followed by W clone to confuse her targeting.
- Always auto-attack after abilities to proc your passive damage.
Wave Control
- Push waves with Q to deny Akali farm and roam opportunities, but ward carefully as you're vulnerable to ganks when extended.
- Keep the wave in the middle or slightly pushed to maintain your range advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on Akali's W shroud as she can easily dodge it while invisible.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or unwarded areas post-6 as her R engage range is deceptively long.
