Actually I've been thinking, if Gunblade's Spellvamp is Unique now, is this item even worth considering? If it doesn't stack with anything else I guess it doesn't stack with Passive as well, meaning it makes half of passive actually useless.

This leaves us with either Triforce, but eeem thx no, or Guinsoo, but eem thx no. Only reason to take Gunblade was to activate our passive. Now it's useless. It's better to build Will of the Ancients if that really is the case. 20% SV and 80AP, also some utility.


o_o You can still gain from it though. I've never stacked Gunblade, I don't really have a reason to worry about the unique on it. Main reason why to get Gunblade is it's active passive. Along with the other bonuses ofc. :3

Honestly Akali should never build Thornmail - I've been thinking about re-vamping my guide and removing the items that I wouldn't suggest on her.
THe problem I think you have is you're either getting caught a lot, or you letting them target you. Stay in the back a pick off the squishies - let the others concentrate on the bruisers. Or just have all of your team target him at once.

What you could build though is a Chain Vest early when you start to notice he's getting fed - and later just build it into a Guardian Angel.

What can help though is if one of your tanks has a Frozen Heart.

Also, to answer your other question (ONLY IF YOU'RE LEVEL 26 LOWER)- I usually go Doran's Blade, Boots of Speed, 3 Health Potion, Hextech Revolver, and so on.

He asked if Akali can solo fed Xin, I gave him answer. He can also try Zhonya instead of Thornmail or as you said Guardian Angel [depends on enemy team I guess, Zhonya will do better for more tanky team].

Doesn't "UNIQUE" mean it ain't stacking with any similar/same effects? Not really sure how it works in LoL, that's why I'm asking;P

If that's true, you lose SV from AD, this way it only gives you 20% SV and 70AP. Well not bad, but for 3.6k gold? WotA gives you 80AP, 20% SV and a very nice aura for 2100 gold. Personally I don't think that 40AD, 15% LifeSteal and Use is worth 1.5k on Akali. We'll barely have use of any of these. Well maybe except for Use which is pretty good with such a range, but still is it worth 1.5k gold.

WotA of course also depends on your team if situation above is true.

Nope, it means you can't stack the same items in a row - ie. 2 Hextech Gunblades will only give you unique stats of one Hextech Gunblade. (20 Spell vamp, instead of 40.)


&& The attack damage on Hextech Gunblade isn't even unique so you still get the bonuses.

Very good guide ^^ nice work!!!


Akali rocks at 5v5, while Shaco is perfect for 3v3 and Tryndamere is very good at dominion, and Fiora solo mid 5v5 :D (do not mess with feeded Fiora's unless when ganging otherwise you die, tested & guaranteed unless from luck xD )
...... Care, I'm coming

I would love to see you make a Twisted Treeline Build for this champ. I heard she was really viable in Twisted Treeline, and want to use her for the purpose, but I'm having difficulty in that department. Is there certain variations I'm not getting or am I just not good enough?

I honestly would build her the same. I rarely play Twisted Treeline though.
The main thing you have to do is dragon control, ward mid jungle and dragon.
One bad thing about Twisted Treeline is it's very easy to shut Akali down with one Vision Ward since the map is so small.
