Truly Amazing.
Jungling with Akali is rather .. er.... NO ... sorry i would never recommend it at ALL mainly because there are way better champs out there that can jungle effectively and Akali dominates in lanes, even Mid Solo if you know wat your doing ... why waste your Last Hitting / Harassing / Nuking abilities to jungle? Yeah you can get Red Buff and set up excellent ganks but, i rather solo lane and get to my Level 6 and have another Jungler help me snag the kill ... and our wasting your teams blue buff for a .5 CD on your abilities? since they are already spammable? nah Jungling Akali is possible but not recommended ...
Flash i do have to agree is the best for Akali over all summoner spells, mainly for when you have to jump into a team fight ... kill their carry, and get out while they are trying to focus you in their shroud ... Exhaust really does you no good because your burst damage is way to great and if you really having issues keeping up with a target, thast what Rylai's Crystal Scepter is for ... its a must have item on Akali and with that .. Exhaust doesnt even compare .. and if your using it to keep plp from hitting you, thats what your shroud is for .... so you have 2 things that does its abilties automatically ... so personally i see it useless .. while on the Flip side Flash can be used for many situations like going over walls or just putting you in that range needed to land your Shadow Dance

1) Akali is a SHE not a HE
2) Akali is NOT a jungle hero, I dunno what game you're playing
3) It's true that flash would help, but exhaust works x10 better considering that Akali already has a built in flash
Great guide for Akali, will definitely test this out
1) Correct
2) Parly correct, Akali isnt a jungler anymore after Doran's patch. But before that, she was a lovely jungler too :)
3) Disagree. Flash is way better than Exhaust. Akali doesnt have flash buided into her shadow dance. It's partly correct that she can use it as an escape ability, but flash is just way better than exhaust, since you can do the flash -> Shadow dance combo to catch enemies far away, and flash -> shadow dance in order to get onto a creep in escaping from enemies
But anyway, +1 for a nice build
This build works Major burst damage at the end of the match i was 2 shotting veiger and their other dps. was a little disappointed that i didnt finish the whole build though to see if i could 1 shot them lol
-1, for several of reasons:
a) Akali should be jungle
b) Getting a Sheen a bit earlier than after 35-40 minutes (which it would take you getting it with this build in a normal ranked game), increases his damage a LOT.
c) Flash is a MUST for Akali, it increases his survivabillity undescribeable much. If he doesn't lane, it's Flash + Exhaust or Flash + Ignite and if he is jungle, where he belongs, it's Flash + Smite.

b) In a normal ranked game i have no problem getten a sheen before 35-40 i mean hell i carry most games, the day i posted this guide i added 3/3 pics of ranked games of me carrying. I have thought about trying a sheen earlier but this has worked for me extremely well.
c) Flash is decent for akali, BUT a skilled akali doesnt need flash to get away from the fight. I can not tell you how easy it is to juke as akali without flash, yes it would make her survivability so much better, but with these two spells it makes early kills so much easier to achieve.
I appreciate the criticism but i may have to ask bias towards jungle much? :P try it before you bash since ive yet to have problems with it.
