Actually,I think its worth to buy the spirit of the spectral wraith.It could make you jungle faster,
and the most important thing is that, the hp you could recover is ridiculous with the Hextech Gunblade and the spirit, i can return my HP from several hundreds to FULL after jungling,which helps a LOT if you are low on health after ganking,etc. plus it also increase your ap when you jungle. I'm not arguing with you but you could try it yourself. It's kinda a tough decision.

Subbed/rep/1+ all that other stuff
Im level 13 so these in depth guides are few and far between, first game went like 8-6 and won, against some crazy circumstances (Feeder mid, bot afker)
Second game went 12-0
Amazing guide, rly got me rolling with her and I insta bought her after those 2 games with her!
Thansks!

why not spirit of the spectral wraith when jungling?

It is certainly an option if yo choose to go that route. You won't benefit at all from the mana regeneration it provides, and CDR is not very useful on Akali because you are still energy-reliant and can only cast your abilities when you have enough. It is a 2000 gold dump, which is an extra 1675 gold on top of the Hunter's Machete. That 1675 gold could be used toward essential items you will need in the late game.

The goal of Akali jungle is to be a ganking machine. Other than collecting your red buff and helping your mid-laner get blue, you won't really be farming the jungle much. So the added damage to monsters is wasted in the late game. It also takes up space where a much-needed item could be used. I ideally like to have Hextech Gunblade, Sorcerer's Shoes, Zhonya's Hourglass, Void Staff, and Rabadon's Deathcap in every build. Zhonya's and Void can be somewhat situational. The 6th spot has to go to something, and I usually prefer Lich Bane for the added burst it provides. I would never rush Spirit of the Spectral Wraith before any of my 5 primary items though.

If you looked at the date which my guide was last updated, you would have seen that it was January 22, 2014. This is very shortly after ranked play began for Season 4. My rank at the time of the update was Platinum 4. Since I took 4 months off from the game, my rank fell to Gold from inactivity. I came back to the game last week, and I have climbed back to Gold 1 in 1 week and will be back to Plat in a couple days.

I am sorry you felt the need to downvote without doing your research first, but to each his own. In the future, I suggest you check things like this before making yourself look like a jerk in front of the community which you seek to be a part of. We are here to help others, not to bring them down.

umm,,, look at this build and tell me if it's good :D
1-boots

4-zhonya's hurglass
5-rabadon's death cap
6-rylais scepter or void staff

tell me if the rder is good :D
please reply


Sorry to be way late on the reply. I know you wanted it much sooner. Don't start boots. Your early game is already bad enough. Other than that, your build will work just fine. The extra early damage from Lich Bane will really help you mow down those big jungle monsters quickly. Just keep in mind that you still want to be situational about everything. Knowing about how to adapt your build and jungling strategy to a constantly changing game is very important, and no 2 games are ever the same.

Great guide!! Akali has been my favourite champion and this guide would be really helpful to all those Akali Enthusiast out there. Just my 2 cents, personally I MIGHT get Seeker's Armlet instead of revolver (my fave item) if I needed the 45 armor.


Great point, CrimsonCresent. I too will rush Seeker's Armguard on occasion, especially if I am playing Top lane or against an AD mid. It provides a lot of early armor for less than the price of Hextech Revolver. The only thing I don't like about it is that it provides no spell vamp, which is one of Akali's best forms of sustain. Granted, with all that extra armor, you might not need it.

Good guide, I'm going to try Jungle Akali :3

Edit: Jungles with Akali for a bit

I think I've found my new jungle main 0.0

While Junglekali does have a pretty weak early game she has decent jungle clear game, and once you get to lvl 6 ganks turn into almost guaranteed kills.

My latest game, was interesting b/c diana went top and got fed hard. In the meantime I had to burn flash thanks to Shaco counterjungle after I got red. Managed to avoid Shaco and jungled effectively.

Went bot and dived for double kill.
Killed Heimer a lot.

After a while I decided to take on Diana (rather treacherously) with some Trundle/lure/wall/ult over shenanigans.

I would love to see the new jungle stuff added soon ;3 especially the camp order, right now I just start whatever side has a better leash.


Great Akali jungle game there, icebarrierguy! I typically like to start on the bottom half of the map, regardless of which side I am on. Typically the ADC and the support, along with a ranged mid, will perform a much better leash than a melee top laner.

I really like your guide, since i´ve been looking for a bursty mid lane champion, after 26 levels of adc and top ^^
The explainations are reasonably short and especially your combo- , as well as your shroud-tips were very helpfull.


Thanks, xXMentorrrXx! It's nice knowing that my explanations are useful. I like to keep everything as short and to-the-point is possible. No one wants to read a giant wall of text, so getting everything into as few words as possible is something I felt was really important.
