History



Akali The First of Shadow


There exists an ancient order originating in the Ionian Isles dedicated to the preservation of balance. Order, chaos, light, darkness -- all things must exist in perfect harmony for such is the way of the universe. This order is known as the Kinkou and it employs a triumvirate of shadow warriors to uphold its causes in the world. Akali is one of these shadow warriors, entrusted with the sacred duty of Pruning the Tree - eliminating those who threaten the equilibrium of Valoran.

A prodigal martial artist, Akali began training with her mother as soon as she could make a fist. Her mother's discipline was relentless and unforgiving, but predicated on the fundamental principle: ''We do that which must be done.'' When the Kinkou inducted her into the order at the age of fourteen, she could slice a dangling chain with a chop of her hand. There was no question - she would succeed her mother as the Fist of Shadow. She has had to do much in this role which others might find morally questionable, but to her it is in service of her mother's inviolable doctrine. She now works with her fellows Shen and Kennen to enforce the balance of Valoran. This hallowed pursuit has unsurprisingly led the triumvirate to the Fields of Justice.

''The Fist of Shadow strikes from the cover of death itself. Do not impede the balance.''

Summoner Spells


(for level 1-6)
This summoners spells are the best
for a account with level 1-6
because at level 7
you have Ignite.
(for level 12-30)
I recommended this summoners spells because is very good
to kill an enemies with very low hp
and to escape from a gang.
.
(for level 7-11)
This combo spell is good to hunt
and catch an enemies
but not so good for escape.
If your account level is <12 this is the best
summoners spells for Akali.

Why Doran's Blade/Boots of Speed?

Doran's Blade:
*Advantages:
1. Good for Survival at the start of game.
2. +3% life steal allow you to recover more fast your hp.
3. activates Twin Disciplines.
**Disadvantages:
1. Is useless after level 10.
2. You lost at the start of game approx 150 gold.

Boots:
*Advantages:
1. Give you +50 movement speed who allw you to escape more easily.
2. Will remain you 125 gold for 3x Health Potion.
3. More mobility for Mark of the Assassin.
*DIsadvantages:
1. Low hp at start of the game.

I will recomended Doran's Blade if you don't have rune to active Twin Disciplines and Boots of Speed if you have rune and are good with Akali.

Runes and Skills

Runes

Sorcery
Summon Aery
Lethal Tempo
Fleet Footwork
Phase Rush

Why 7x Greater Mark of Attack Damage?


-is very simple; 7x Greater Mark of Attack Damage+ Brute Force =approx. 10 attack damage=>active Twin Disciplines and 7.94% spell vamp(I test this).
*

Why 7x Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power+2x Greater Glyph of Ability Power and no 9x Greater Glyph of Ability Power?


-I don't recommend 9x Greater Glyph of Ability Power because:
*
*9x Greater Glyph of Ability Power=approx. 9 ability power.(but is good for mega burst at start game and to active the second passive at level 1).
*
*2x Greater Glyph of Ability Power+7 Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power=approx. 23 ability power(at level 18) and with 3x Greater Quintessence of Ability Power you have active the second passive at level 5-7.
