This is Akali

She's a Melee AP Burst/Bruiser Assassin

At a low price: 3150 or 1575 BE when on sale

She used to be played on mid lane as a Burst-Assassin/Mage

Now she was bringed to top lane by game & metas

She's a HyperCarry

Her main class is: Assassin & Slayer

Her subclasses are: Diver, Burst Mage, Unique.

Summoner spells

You pick your summoner spells depending on your lane and the champion you are against.

Let me simplify:

Flash is must pick Flash

These are secondary: Ignite Teleport Smite Exhaust Cleanse Heal

My most played summoner spells in season 7 were: Flash+ Ignite/ Smite/ Teleport

In general pick Ignite to secure kills or Teleport to do plays

Exhaust is a tool for mid-lane and is great against champions such as: LeBlanc/ Katarina/ Orianna/ Ryze

Cleanse is another mid-lane tool and is very good against Ahri/ Lissandra/ Annie

When playing with the Kleptomancy Rune-page Teleport is a must have!

Pick Smite if you play her as a jungler (Why would you do that...?)

And Heal is when you know that you gotta save your jungler when ganking. I saved many junglers that went for kills and almost got killed when i got Akali mid. I'm just used to have INTERS on my team XD

Runes

On Kleptomancy see the strategy chapter:

All viable runes from every tree with best keystones pages:

All viable runes from every tree: other runes:

Runes 2

Changing runes is not easy, sometimes you get behind slowly or ahead too fast, so let me explain how i take my runes for 100% use of them:

I take the kleptomancy page whenever i face a tank such as Ornn or Sion and i start with the Spellthief's Edge to make gold for items to deal dmg. Electrocute won't help you in such a match-up because they will just get 1 Ruby Crystal and suddenly your dmg is gone, but kleptmancy will help you with gold for items such as Haunting Guise or consumables such as the Travel Elixir of sorcery that also deals some true dmg.

I usually take Electrocute together with Ignite in match-ups against champions like: Vladimir/ Quinn/ Yasuo or Teemo. Most of them are ranged, so the strategy works like this: Go get electro proc, since they are ranged they can poke whenever they want to but you can't, so an ALL-IN will grant you a kill/flash/sums/recall of the enemy, that gives you a sweet advantage. Simple right?

And now the tanky page, the one with Grasp of the Undying. I take it against champions such as: Pantheon/ Renekton or Jayce. These champions can poke as their hearth wants and get out without taking too much dmg, so the resolve tree will help me survive in lane. Get that it's not a killing page, but a surviving page.

Kleptomancy Strategy

Kleptomancy Will help you get a bigger advantage on your enemy if you plan on stealing the enemy red buff.

Rule: There is one rule tho, that it works only when you are in the BLUE-SIDE on Summoner's Rifht

Runes: The same Kleptomancy Rune-page but instead of Magical Footwear you take Future's Market to have a better invade.

Please see these links for a better understanding of what you need to steal the red buff and not get executed or caught: VIDEO, IMAGE & REDDIT

Item build

This is my item set for Akali

You can download it from my STREAM

You can build any item from this, depending on what you need at that time. The build covers every single corner of Akali, im working at it starting from season 5 -> 6 and i'm still working at it untill is perfect.

Unique Skills: Twilight Shroud

Akali's W: Twilight Shroud is her best tool!

Find me if you can, LOL! Akali marks an area by a smoke bomb, becoming invisible every time she re-enters back into it and starts moving around you, and kites you.

This is what you have to do. Use her W at it's maximum potential!

Usually when i use my W people think that i am gone from the world or something and they straight up walk into it. Here i'm kiting them. In late game i just kill them.

KITE: Atack + move. Doing so i can take the least amount of dmg & deal more dmg. Search on youtube for more.
