Runes

• Greater Mark of Magic Penetration - Nothing to say. More magic penetration=More magic damage and low enemy magic resist.

• Greater Seal of Scaling Health - I choose this rune because Akali is a squishy champion.

• Greater Glyph of Ability Power - Will give you more ability power in early game.
• Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power - That rune give you more ability power in late game than Greater Glyph of Ability Power.

• Greater Quintessence of Ability Power - Put this runes and destroy any opponent.

Masteries

• This is the new mastery tree for Season 3. This is similar with the Season 2 but in the new mastery tree appear Spellsword .
• Spellsword is the best option for all AP Melee (ex. Diana) because more AP you have, more Damage you deal with Mark of the Assassin.
• Otherwise this tree is special for Akali, with masteries which deal ability power (ex. Blast , Mental Force , Archmage ).
  

  I change the masteries because after the new patch 3.0.2 you will never need AD to active Twin Disciplines.

Summoner Spells

• Awesome combination. With Flash you can escape or catch an enemy and with Ignite can kill your opponent. Addition you can use Ignite to reduce the enemy HP regeneration, reduce support heal (eg. Aria of Perseverance, Astral Blessing, Primal Surge ...).

Item Build

• +More mobility in early game, that means, you can dodge more easily the enemy skill shot abilities.
• +You have 3x Health Potion to survive more easy.
• "I use this started item because if you have all the rune is useless to buy the other started item because you have both the part of Twin Disciplines activated".

• Mercury's Treads in my opinion the best boots for Akali. Reduce the magic incoming damage and reduce the CC skill duration (from enemy), that escape soon from stun,slow,silence,etc.
• Hextech Revolver increase your damage and with spell vamp you can restore you HP more easy.
• Giant's Belt Why this? Because Akali is a squishy champ and you need this for Rylai's Crystal Scepter.

• Rylai's Crystal Scepter High Ability Power, good Health increase and AWESOME passive, slow per skill.
• Twin Shadows grant magic resist against AP champ, more movement speed, additional ability power and a good active for more CC.
• Bilgewater Cutlass need for Hextech Gunblade, and with this you will have another slow.

• Hextech Gunblade upgrade your Hextech Revolver and Bilgewater Cutlass, increase the slow from Unique Active and the spell vamp.
• Lich Bane Why? I choose this item because his passive is very good for Akali. When you use Mark of the Assassin, the passive will be active and increase your next basic attack damage.
  Mark of the Assassin+ Lich Bane(passive)+Basic Attack=TONS OF DAMAGE.
• Liandry's Torment good against magic resist tank (give you magic pen.),good ability power and very good passive.

• Enchantment: Alacrity go faster from lane to other lane.
• Enchantment: Homeguard very good when you are pushed.
• Enchantment: Furor more easy to catch the enemy.

View Optional Item

Ninja Tabi - good when your enemy team is more AD than AP. Addition this passive item is very good to farm more easy and fast.
Sorcerer's Shoes - I see this item at some player who join with Akali. Is good. This increase your magic damage. But I recommend Mercury's Treads because this will give you tenacity and you can escape more fast at CC spell.
Will of the Ancients - If you don't have enough gold to buy Hextech Gunblade. This item confer more Ability Power than Hextech Gunblade and have an aura good for all AP champion, but in this case you don't have life steal and unique active who slow the enemy. Why life steal on Akali? Life steal is good because he will restore more HP when you use Mark of the Assassin.
Abyssal Mask - Good against AP or Tank enemy. This item aura reduce the enemy magic resist, and your team will give more damage in team fight if you are near.
Rabadon's Deathcap - massive AP for massive DAMAGE.
Void Staff - Take this item against Hard Tanks.
Deathfire Grasp - High Ability Power and Good Unique Active.

View Survivability or Situational Items

Warmog's Armor - This item increase your HP and HP regen. to survive more time in team fight. Good against all enemy. I recommend this item when the opponent is more better than you.
Guardian Angel - Will give you +50 armor (good against AD with very high damage) and +30 magic resist (good against AP). Addition this unique item passive will revive (5 min. cooldown) when you die.
Zhonya's Hourglass - Good item who give you +100 AP and +50 armor. I suggest you to buy this item if the enemy is AD.
Quicksilver Sash - With this item you can remove all debuffs like stun,slow (e.g. Infinite Duress by Warwick, Nether Grasp by Malzahar, Event Horizon by Veigar etc...)

These item is for situational case, and you can buy this when the enemy is much better than you.

Tips

• Level 1-5. Stay back and farm the minion. If the enemy try to attack the turret, use Twilight Shroud front the turret and attack your opponent.
• Level 6-10. Stay mid and try to attack your enemy with Mark of the Assassin & Shadow Dance in combination. When you buy Hextech Revolver kill your opponent and use Crescent Slash & Mark of the Assassin to restore your HP.
• After level 10 you can go to gang top or bottom and come back on mid for try to kill again the mid enemy.
• When an enemy try to gang you, use Twilight Shroud and try to scam the enemy.

• Stay back and try to survive as much possible. Don't forget to say SS and put sight ward/ Vision Ward to prevent a eventually gang.
• When the enemy is around the turret you can try to attack him but don't go far, because the will attack you.
• Buy Health Potion & Hextech Revolver to restore more easily your HP and survive more time.

• Help your partner to kill or to escape. Can put Twilight Shroud front the enemy to slow him.
• After level 6 you can attack constantly with Mark of the Assassin & Shadow Dance and for escape use Twilight Shroud.
• Say SS and help mid or your partner to push.
