More spell Vamp = later rylai's? you do understand that Rylai's is a Bonus item for Akali? and that rushing Rylai's is probably the worse thing you can ever do with Akali? Like what is the point of slowing down your target, if you do not have the Ability Power to kill them?

Also No Rylai's = Get Red Buff = Same effects but free = opportunity to buy Spell Vamp, understand? thanks but nice try ... there isn't anything you can say or clarrify why you have to troll my guides... but honestly don't care for the minus ones, as my links are in my Sig so as I post all over Moba, people will view my guides anyway .... thanks have a nice day...

+ 1.. +1.. +1.. Love how u put two diff builds here and explained them in detail. Akali used to be my main and I used this build constantly. Never once did I suck hardcore when I used it either. Infact, I do believe it was a lot better..

Thanks ya!

too much spell vamp and snowball is bad

Spell Vamp is essential Akali's asset to stay alive in team fights. Why would having more then normal Spell vamp be bad when it actually means your essential harder to kill ... Akali's Passive gives her Spell Vamp, and the more AD you have the more Spell Vamp you gain, so why you say too much spell vamp is beyond me when thats Akali's Passive... But thanks anyway for strolling through my guides and minusing them all, you should really take some time and get something better to do if your not going to help the community by making blunt comments that make no since or have any reasoning behind them

The masteries and Runes are meant mainly for the AD passive, not the AP passive as you can easily gain that with an =Amplifying Tome and a Health Potion ... the Flat Ap runes or any Flat runes I see yo be useless for most champions mainly because they are only ment for early game boost ... not late game boots, but the Per level runes give more results then the flat and most of the runes you get the same amount as the Flat by level 4-7 anyway, and if someone goes with Flat AP to get the passive, then they would be going the route with 3x Health Potion which is more gold then necessary (70) that can be used on something else ( 2 minions) not much but there is a big difference when your laning and your trying to get your items as quickly as possible ...

and are the main items to give Akali the early game dominance that she needs, you just have to have confidence in your abilities to kill and get out like Akali should be played to save your stacks.... Late game you can easily sell them for more expensive items that are of the same class if not better and . Usually I just get Mejai's and rush but if I feel that iam going to be getting kills or see early fights happening I get Occult mainly so that it boost her Spell Vamp with each stack. But again stacks are ment for those who feel they are confindent in their abilities and want early game dominance.

Rageblade i do not ever recommend on Akali, mainly for the soul purpose that you do not fully use its abilities to keep your stacks going above 6... Akali is an Abality Power Assassin caster who relies on her stealth and Mark to deal crazy damage while spamming life back to keep healthy. Rageblade would only be good for solo laning tower killing but thats not Akali's job, to push lanes, her job is to starve and kill the enemies carries, so she doesn't have time to push lanes or towers ... AND if you feel the need to push a tower, then would more then enough do that purpose with its AP passive proc. Also Akali does not deal loads of damage through her auto attack, so would be a waste as you need AD to back that up and if you go down the AD road more then AP, you will be starving your main nukes which are you and She needs all the energy and stealth to be completely useful to her team .. Get in .. KILL carry ... Get Out... and Rageblade is 2200 Gold and your talking of getting 2 of them? and trinity force? 8000 gold for minimum amount of damage ? when you can get AP items that could nuke their healths to full to nothing with that same amount of gold ...

Warmogs armor also would not recommend on anyone without any Armor / Magic Resist to back it up ... you can have 4000 HP but no armor and Magic resist ... just means you will die 2-3 seconds slower then you would at 2000 HP .... is a much more vialble choice for akali ....

Akali is an excelent 1v1 and 1v2 champion mainly because of her insane burst damage / stealth / and Life Leach to keep her alive and slaughter any carry head to head ... And off tanks and tanks, Akali shouldnt be dashing into them head on alone in the first place .... she doesn''t initiate .. just waits in the shadow till the squishy carry shows itself ...

But thanks, i think the Rageblade is a good idea to get 2 if you can farm for it, but i rather spend 2750 for 160 AP and 100 AD with Mejai's and Occult then 4480 or only 1/4 less then that ... and sorry to say everyone knows but Akali is a true KSer .. being so makes it easy for her to get stacks as she strikes when their healths are to begin with ...

First of all you can achieve both her passive by using Greater Quintessence of Potency it gives +4.85 ap x 3, also you will need Greater Mark of Potency it gives +.59 ap totaling +20.37 at lvl 1, and if you give her the masteries for ap per lvl you probably be over the 20ap mark at lvl 1.

I would stay away from using both mejai stacks and the occult stacks, there just not that reliable when your in a situation where your teammates dont help you. I would suggest replacing them with Guinsoo RageBlade, you will need 2 of these items, as its passive stack up and double up fast. If you only get 1 of the Guinsoo Rageblade the passive stacks by 1, if you get 2 of the Guinsoo RageBlade it stacks up by 2, up to 8 times, it also boost your attack speed as well giving more damage out put from her abilites and normal attacks.

After getting those 2 Guinsoo RageBlade, I would focus on the lichbane build, after that I would suggest a warmog armor, during this time they will be focusing on you and the armor helps alot, if not go straight into the trinity force build for better result in dps, then follow up by an armor of your choosing.

Since we all know that akali is great at dishing out damage but poor at receiving damage, the armor makes up for that part for those 1 v 1 situation where your not fighting a squishy or those semi off tank, or those 1 v 2 situation.
