Introduction



Hybrid damage dealer

This makes every basic attack dealing bonus magical damage by AD*(AP/6+6)/100. For example, if you have 100 AP, this increases the damage of your basic attack by 23%, 200 AP for 39%, 300 AP for 56%, 400 AP for 72%, 500 AP for 89%.
Additionally, this provides you spell vamp by (bonusAD/6+6)%. For example, if you have 50 bonus AD, it gives you 14% spell vamp, 100 bonus AD for 23% spell vamp, 150 bonus AD for 31% spell vamp, 200 bonus AD for 39% spell vamp.
This passive can give you both sustainability and damage.
I select greater mark of hybrid penetration because you need to trigger your


I pick





basic attack to trigger your
Mark of the Assassin in early game and deal heavy damage in late game, so I pick up
Spellsword
and
Weapon Expertise
. Bonus AD also lead to bonus spell vamp and that why I take
Brute Force
.

STARTING ITEMS
Health Potion SIGHT WARD
It's harder for Akali in early game since the amount of red pots have been restricted to 5. Unfortunately, you don't have better options to survive early game. If you are facing an AD champion, take
Cloth Armor first.
EARLY ITEMS
Try to obtain
Bilgewater Cutlass in the first time you recall. It's better than
Hextech Revolver because the cutlass gives you life steal and also some spell vamp from your
Twin Disciplines while the revolver provides only spell vamp. The passive of the cutlass, additional damage and slowing effect, is also useful for kill. Afterward, take
Seeker's Armguard or
Negatron Cloak according to your opponent.
Mercury's Treads
In team fight, I think it's more disappointed being focused than letting enemy escape with low HP. The former might make you instantly dead. Reduce the effect of control skills, and then you will have more chance to kill.
Hextech Gunblade
This boosts your spell vamp by its passive and also your
Twin Disciplines. You may have at least 33.5% spell vamp after you purchase it. With the defense from your
Twilight Shroud, the HP you drain will be more valuable. If your opponent is willing to duel with you, don't miss this.
Zhonya's Hourglass
This item give you both damage and armor. More important, as long as you are focused in team fight, the active effect will save you.
Spirit Visage
An incredibly cheap item. The bonus healing fits her well after you purchase
Hextech Gunblade and CDR can make Essence of Shadow restore faster. If you are facing an AP champion, you should take this a bit earlier. Its only shortcoming is that 200 HP is not really much, so you may consider to get more HP or
Guardian Angel after this.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
It gives you HP, AP, and also a slowing effect to chase fleeing enemy. A great hunting weapon.
Lich Bane
This significantly increases your burst damage since you always need to trigger your
Mark of the Assassin. Even that 250 mana are wasted, I still consider it as a wild item for her.

Your main damage source is
Mark of the Assassin, which has 260+0.9AP magical damage in total and also bonus damage from
Lich Bane and
Twin Disciplines if you use basic attack to trigger it. Thus your goal is doing
Mark of the Assassin and basic attack as much as possible.
