Using Skills/Akali To There Fullest
You Always buy Doran's Blade for the bonus AD, and life steal. Early on, Doran's Blade 3% life steal is great for staying in lane. The 2nd item, Boots you always buy 2nd(unless you change it and buy it first). You buy boots 2nd, because you need to more quick and agile early game, so lets say taric stuns you and then brand comes in to clean up, you flash away, and you have boots to be quicker. Some builds do not get Boots 2nd, which i feel is not a great idea at all. The 3rd item, is Amplifying Tome. This is the starting item, for buidling into Sheen, or Hextech Revolver
Now you can take a different route from my build. I take Sheen, cause it does passive does a massive bonus with akali's Q, but thats just me. Hextech Revolver, is also a great idea. I gives you Spell Vamp, and also 40 AP. That is alot of ap early on. SO don't be afraid on depending on who your facing to change the build around.
So the 4th item will be either of these
OR
After you build these, items, you will go into Rylia's Crystal Scepter. Always do not change this part of the build. You then go into Rabadon's Deathcap, do not change this also. If you want the explanation on why, its in Items. You then also, build Hextech Gunblade after all this is done(This will take longer or shorter, depending if you bought Hextech Revolver over sheen. Now is were you can change the build alot.
There are 3 Items, that you can buy that work late game and will sustain you late game. Void Staff, Abyssal Mask, And Lich Bane.
Out of these 3, i would buy Void Staff or Abyssal Scepter, FIRST and then Lich Bane. In the chapter Reason for Sheen, i say i dont finish sheen, because it takes to much time and would subtract from getting more important items. This is true, but late game this becomes dumb. Sheen by itself wont be able to support you at all, so at this time you need to change it. Lich bane is the answer. A very kind poster, has stated this, and i have run a few playthroughs of this. I found out Lich Bane, is good but still takes a large amount of time and money to build. So i like to BuilLd Abyssal Mask or Void Staff First, and then Lich Bane. Anything after Lich Bane Is not needed, since you pretty much have the strongest, ap items in the game.
Also If you Didn't Buy Sheen First, then BUY Lich Bane First, and then buy Abyssal Mask or Void Staff. You do this, because you need the unique passive Sheen and Lich Bane give. It just makes Akali, super bursty.
Mark of the Assassin does 50/75/100/125/150(+40% of your Ability Power) magic damage and leaves a mark for 6 seconds. When hit while the mark is active the mark is consumed and does 50/75/100/125/150(+40% of your Ability Power) to the target, it also restores 20/25/30/35/40 of Akali's energy.
Akali, throws down a cover of smoke, that makes her briefly stealthed, for 8 seconds, but if she attacks or uses a skill, it briefly makes her revealed. Also, while in the space of the Twilight Shroud, akali gains 10/20/30/40/50 armor and magic resistance. Enemies that walk through the smoke have there movement speed reduced by 14/18/22/26/30%
Akali twirls, with her kamas in hand damaging enemies in the area for 30/55/80/105/130 physical damage(+30% of current Ability Power) +60% of your Attack Damage
Akali, swiftly moves through the shadows to her target, dealing 100/175/250(+50% of current Ability Power) of magic damage to target. Also Akali carries 3 Essence of Shadows, and Gains one every 25/20/15. She also gains one with every kill or assist she gets.
THE COMBO IS
Q
R
E
AND THEN REPEAT.
Lets say though you are in trouble, a nice way to escape is to throw down Twilight Shroud right when you are starting to get attacked. To play akali right this is something you need to learn instantly. This will save you so many times, its not funny. After that happens, just repeat your combo, and youll just devastate.
Probably the best summoner spell in the game. It allows you to escape situations, you should have died in. Its a great mechanic, and you should allows have this and another summoning spell in my opinion
This on akali, is incredible good, its not funny. When you damage someone so close and they almost die, but you cant get enough damage off, ignite will finish the job. This happens alot with akali early game. Sometimes you just cant get enough damage off, and they escape. That is were the all mighty ignite comes in. It finishes off you opponent, while you run away
Good to use if you are a aggressive player. If you get stunned or something like that, this will get rid of it, and you can continue attacking. This will really screw with Alistar or Malphite since they have so many stun heavy moves
]
Probally the 2nd most viable escape summoner spell in the game. It makes you faster, and you cant be slowed. So things like Singed's poison will not slow you. But you can be stunned though, so be careful
I personally, would use this if we had 3 summoner spells. But we dont so i dont use it. Its really helpful early game, to keep alive if you run low on HP, but mid-late game it becomes really useless. If I had to choose this over something else, like ghost, or cleanse, i would choose ghost of cleanse.
Really good, early game for ganking,and not letting enemy champs, get away. But its also really bad in teamfights. Since you can only target one person, exahust, becomes not as helpful, in teamfights.
All the other summoner spells, like Revive or Clairvoyance i would not use. They are just not something you would use on akali, since she is a agrro type of character.
