this is my first guide so it might be written a bit wrong. And my english might not be that good because im not from england or anything like that.

There exists an ancient order originating in the Ionian Isles dedicated to the preservation of balance. Order, chaos, light, darkness -- all things must exist in perfect harmony for such is the way of the universe. This order is known as the Kinkou and it employs a triumvirate of shadow warriors to uphold its causes in the world. Akali is one of these shadow warriors, entrusted with the sacred duty of Pruning the Tree - eliminating those who threaten the equilibrium of Valoran.

A prodigal martial artist, Akali began training with her mother as soon as she could make a fist. Her mother's discipline was relentless and unforgiving, but predicated on the fundamental principle: ''We do that which must be done.'' When the Kinkou inducted her into the order at the age of fourteen, she could slice a dangling chain with a chop of her hand. There was no question - she would succeed her mother as the Fist of Shadow. She has had to do much in this role which others might find morally questionable, but to her it is in service of her mother's inviolable doctrine. She now works with her fellows Shen and Kennen to enforce the balance of Valoran. This hallowed pursuit has unsurprisingly led the triumvirate to the Fields of Justice.

''The Fist of Shadow strikes from the cover of death itself. Do not impede the balance.''

While you defend a tower u should not stay behind the turret like some little ***** you should go in front and throw a smoke on the ground and if people step inside it then use your q spell and auto hit em that should be enough to scare them away. But never chase them when they run away. If they keep hitting tower then continue using your spells to nuke them down as fast as possible.

you should be really careful at lvl 1 since at this point you dont have your smoke bomb yet and cant flee by using that. as you reach lvl 2 you can start dealing some damage to your enemies by throwing a smoke bomb just on top of all the enemy creeps ( their champions would stand there too) when you have done that you should step inside the smoke use your Q and auto hit then walk away again. thats basicly it. use ur E to kill minions not champions at this lvl exept for if it gets really hard to do it without.

you should try to get in a lane with someone who can stun and take the damage. if you do get in lane with someone like sion then ur gonna get an easy job chopping up ur enemies. Let him stun and then throw ur q spell at him/her, then use ur ult to get there. always make sure that u have done atleast one auto attack before using ur E spell. when they start to flee(if they have the health for that) then use your ulti to keep ur self in range of them but every time u use ur ult make sure to get atleast one auto hit before using it again maybe also Q or E spell.

as you have build up ur items you should be able to chop up ur enemies really fast by using ur q spell ultimate and auto hit they would nearly be dead from 2000 hp
