Who Wins
- Akali wins this matchup past level 1 because she can space you, deny extended trades, and nullify your all-ins with shroud.
- Your only real edge is level 1 or wave-cheese situations where you can force her to fight inside a stacked wave.
How to Trade
- Trade only level 1 with Q slows and autos, because afterwards she can easily disengage with E or shroud and turn the fight with burst.
- If you ever commit, it must be when you catch her in a big wave or after she wastes shroud, otherwise she simply resets and outplays you.
Wave Control
- Push early to get level 2 first, then transition into slow-push into proxy farming to avoid interacting with her directly.
- Proxying lets you generate more gold, accelerate your Hydra spike, and impact the map while denying her clean trade windows.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase her into shroud—your R does not counter it, and she wins every extended trade after level 2.
- Avoid wasting axes randomly or taking short trades, as you only win when you force uncomfortable long fights in waves or when she misuses cooldowns.
