Nice guide ! It was so fun trying different builds on Akshan, thanks to you i learned how to play him correctly. Keep on the good work.

I would love to get updates on how the Akshan grind is going :)

Absolutely beautiful structure and great content. Honestly one of my favorite guides I've seen in a while!

Thanks man! Glad the guide was helpful : )

I've been messing around with some different build ideas, and I've found some success with a sort of "Vayne" build, with Kraken into PD into Rageblade. Especially with the bug/interaction? on PD with his 2nd auto giving 2 stacks for 3 total, and the synergy with his passive movement speed and attack speed scaling, I find PD pretty good for the mid game skirmishes and dragon fights. As well with the bug/interaction thing, even if its removed, it's still only 2 autos to fully stack PD, it just makes it a bit faster. What are your thoughts?

Man, this Heroic Swing is way harder than I thought. Went 1/5 in my ranked against Yasuo. But it's so fun, lol.

Very weird to not press a position to go to all the time, to not cancel my swing mid air...

Still not sure which build to use... :x

Yeah it took awhile for me to get used to it. I've already ran it three times in ranked lol

For builds, once I get more live servers experience, I'll update the builds accordingly :) But for now, on-hit does have a nicer late game while the crit build is to snowball your lead.

Thanks but I am hardstuck Silver, so no matter which build, I do suck. :)

Great guide, I'm very excited about his release, akshan is coming, I haven't played him on PBE myself so don't know much about him, but from what I've heard his attack speed ratio scaling is terrible, so why are you building so much attack speed on him? wouldn't be better to go for pure crit/damage or lethality?

Yeah I'm gonna spam Akshan in my ranked games once he comes out. Yeah his base attack speed is really bad, but since he gets movespeed from bonus attack speed and he gets bonus damage on his "third auto" (lke vayne), building attack speed is actually good.

Amazing guide. Akshan's coming out today on live servers and I'm going to constantly be tabbing in and out of game to check builds lol. I love how you explained when to go on hit and crit because other guides don't do that. You also gave tips on matchups and that was helpful. This guide will most likely be the most popular one because it is the best. I really appreciate you making this <3.
