Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Akshan's range advantage and poke, but you have kill pressure at level 2-3 if you land Q3-W combo.
- Post-6, you become the 1v1 winner as your R engage range allows you to gap close reliably and your sustained damage outdamages his burst.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is stacking Q on minions then using Q3-W-auto-Q combo when Akshan steps up, immediately backing off if he uses W stealth.
- Post-6, look for R engages when he's used E or is positioned away from his tower.
Wave Control
- Allow Akshan to push slightly so you can stack Q on minions safely, then look for all-in opportunities when the wave is in a neutral position.
- Avoid letting him freeze on you as his poke becomes oppressive when you can't engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q3 on minions when Akshan is in engage range, as it's your primary gap closer.
- Never R into him when he has E available unless you can guarantee the kill, as he'll simply swing away and you'll be left overextended.
