you will start off with a dorans blade. that way you get your passive spell vamp buff in early game.
next you will go home to get a hextech revolver for some ap and that sweet, sweet spell vamp.
then of course you get mercury`s treads for the move speed and the extra durability
after that you will go for a rylais. now i expect that i dont have to explain why you buy this, because every akali player knows that this is a must buy for her, but ill still give it a try. the extra ap and hp is nice, although the thing that just sells me is the slow effect you get on your spells.
and now we have the hextech gunblade. now this is pretty good for akali because not only does it build from the hextech revolver you bought earlier, and give you increased spell vamp and ability power, it also gives you attack dmg and life steal. not to mention that its active is a pretty good chasing tool aswell.
and after that i just love to get a rabadons for that big ap boost it gives you... by now you should be able to crush your opponents.
and next is the lichbane. the lichbane has so great synergy with her q skill, because instead of just doing the dmg you normally do (which shouldnt be bad in itself) you will be doing 100% of your ap as dmg. and that should be alot if you have followed the build correctly.
and finally its time for the void staff which is great because it gives you an ap boost and also magic resistance which will make you burst your enemies down a lot easier.
