Skills Explanation

• Twin Disciplines(Passive): Gives your basic attack an additional magic damage when your AP reaches a certain amount. Also gives extra spell vamp when you have bonus AD
• Mark of the Assassin(Q): This spammy skill is your key to harassing squishy opponents, its effect is activated when you land a basic attack
• Twilight Shroud(W): This spell is important in team fights which allows you move around, in and out of battle also gives 14/18/22/26/30% slow
• Crescent Slash(E): This is the main tool for farming using Akali does both Magical and Physical Damage
• Shadow Dance(R): The most important skill for Akali, this is her bread and butter, this skill allow her to pickup kills instantly

Summoner Spells

• Ignite - Ignite is a summoner spell which I prefer, knowing my luck the majority of time my opponent escapes with barely any life left. Well Ignite solves that problem for me, dealing true damage over time it finishes off the opponent for me.
• Flash - Used to gain distance between enemies. Also useful when landing a basic attack with Mark of the Assassin

• Exhaust - Can be used to slow the enemy down for that needed area to be able to shadow dance onto the champion. Also decreases damage dealt to you and can be used to escape.
• Ghost - Allows you to gain movement speed to chase or escape from an enemy champion effectively. Able to run through those pesky minions that get in your way!
• Surge - After using this summoner skill a few times, I still believe it loses out to Ignite which deals true damage, early game Surge would do better, but late game, NO.

Skill Sequencing

• Hit your enemy with Mark of the Assassin then wait for the cooldown before proceeding for an assault with Shadow Dance.
• You can activate the effect of your Mark of the Assassin with Flash in a minimal distance.
• Use Twilight Shroud often in TEAM FIGHTS. Wait for your opponents to focus your allies before commencing an attack.
