A prodigy in the fighting arts, Akali is a member of the martial order known as the Kinkou. She succeeds her mother as the Fist of Shadow, entrusted with the sacred duty to end those who would bring imbalance to her homeland. While some find her methods extreme, Akali is judicious in maintaining harmony across Ionia.

Tips

Playing as

  • Akali excels at killing weaker characters. Let your team initiate and then strike at the people in the back.
  • Find the balance between storing Essence of Shadows, and using Shadow Dance before having max charges.

Playing against

  • Akali can still be hit by area effect spells while Invisible inside Twilight Shroud.
  • Akali can choose where she starts within her Twilight Shroud before casting it, even if part of the shroud would extend beyond a wall.
  • Return to base if your Health is low and Akali has multiple charges of her ultimate.
