Their are so many different secondary runes to pick with Akali. It is all preference at the end of the day just open your mind to the possibilities.
| ||
![]() | ||
Presence of Mind allows you too have extra energy generation by 1.5 per second as well as restore 15% of your maximum energy after a take down, it is not really a must anymore after the reduced Akali Q Energy Cost but it can still help you with an Extra Q in team fights due to the enery restoration. | ||
![]() | ||
Triumph is a great rune as it grants you an extra 20 gold on a take down as well as restore 12% of your missing health. This gives you that little more sustain in them long team fights against multiple opponents. | ||
![]() | ||
This grants you more life steal on top of your already huge healing build runes. You may want to take this if you feel you need more healing or if you don't like the other 2 options. (I personally don't take this as I believe Akali has enough heals from her gunblade as well as from conqueror and other side runes.) | ||
![]() | ||
This is great for Akali especially with conqueror as your doing consistent damage, you don't want to stop for anything. This reduces the amount of time your CC'd.(Works well with ![]() | ||
![]() | ||
Alot of people like to take this as they believe it makes her passive![]() | ||
![]() | ||
This rune is great when your on low health as it grants you tons of damage. I don't normally take this rune with Conqueror due to me being able to stay healthy because of Conquerors heals. | ||
![]() | ||
If your versing a team comp that is all tanks you can take it but you shouldn't take it in a normal game as you want to pick off the squishys. I personally don't use this rune. | ||
![]() | ||
This is the rune I use when I play conqueror as it just gives consistent damage to enemy champions who are lower than 40% health works well with your ![]() |
![]() |
Great for early game sustain I personally take this as it helps you stay in line and win trades. |
![]() |
This also works well with Akali as you can proc it easy and do more damage. It also has a short cool down 4secs. |
![]() |
Cheap shot works with your ![]() |
![]() |
I believe this is the best rune choice for this category as it gives a lot of bonus AP which allows you to snowball harder. |
![]() |
Ravenous Hunter is great for the extra sustain as it grants omni-vamp, great for Akali as she can heal through her abilities. |
![]() |
This gives you extra cooldown on your active abilities including wards. I used this rune for quite a while and it is really fun especially with ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Relentless Hunter is good for roaming as it gives you extra out of combat movement speed. If you love to roam alot and are greedy for kills you could take this. |
![]() |
This grants reduced ![]() ![]() |
Their are many ways to play Akali, you can either be a 1 shot kamikaze assassin or a damage over time Akali or even a utility support Akali they all work.Basic things you have to know is her kit of course and how to use it.

Great Item after after the changes for Akali as it now grants 5 Ability Power Per stack. Also now has 40 health instead of the "25% healing from potions" passive
|
Great if you want some health as well as early AP damage. Most people take this item. Mana is useless though and you can only take 2 health pots
|
I've used this many times it works, gives you a bit of life steal as well as health and damage.
|
This is the item I use when I go against tough match ups as well as when I'm taking the game serious. Most reliable item against all champs in my opinion.
|
People like to take it against heavy ad comps as well as heavy ad champs in lane with health pots. Can also build into
![]() ![]() |
You can take boots first as well if you want that extra bit of movement speed early, maybe to get easier trades on ranged champions as well as dodge early poke.
|
Against heavy ap if you want to build into
![]() ![]() |
No sustain but lots of early damage, if your confident why not, very greedy pick.
|
Does more physical damage, can take 3 pots or refill potion with it.
|
"Riftmaker's mythic passive can grant up to 40 ability power and 10% omnivamp with 5 other Legendary items." Good item if you want more incoming heals during fights as well as the extra bonus Ability Power. You will do huge amounts of damage but not instantaneously. Like
![]() |
"Night Harvester's mythic passive can grant up to 25 ability haste with 5 other Legendary items." It does instantaneous damage per champion which is huge when it comes to fighting multiple champions. Great if your more of a bursty Akali player and just want to assassinate the enemies carry. No sustain compared to
![]() |
"Hextech Rocketbelt's mythic passive can grant up to 25 magic penetration with 5 other Legendary items." Gives you an active dash that grants you 30movement speed after use. Most people take this due to its mythic passive of 5 magic penetration per legendary item.
|
Great if you want more damage or you see your enemies building magic resist
|
Buy these if your enemy deals most of their damage through Auto Attacks or If your enemy team consists of a high Attack Damage composition.
|
Great if your enemy team has a lot of crowd control or if they have a high ability power team composition
|
Akali's Combos are different in every situation depending on which champion your versing and which team comp your versing. You have to adapt to every situation and think instantly on the spot.

This is an example of stringing combos against 2 enemies, in this case the opposing laner and jungler. |
Wards - Always be mindful of your wards. Assess the game and see who your opponents are so you may ward accordingly, are your opponents someone you can fight and harass or someone that is able to harass you? If your able to harass the enemy, place offensive wards in the enemy jungle so you may invade when you can. If your not able to harass and they are strong against you, you may need to place wards around your learn so your aware if they are coming to GANK you.
Depending on what role your playing your bans may change, for example if your playing Top you may want to ban a top laner you struggle against or if your playing mid you may want to ban a certain support who stops you from assassinating the ADC as you should be roaming heaps in the mid lane.
Typically as Akali you want to ban someone who stops you from doing Akali things, like using your shroud (So champions who are able to put true sight on you easily like Lee Sin.) or destroying carries (a support who disables your assassination potential like Lulu with her polymorph). Or maybe you don't want to deal with a fed Renekton in the top lane, so you ban him even though your playing mid. Perhaps you can't stand another mid laner like Galio as he has great CC in team fights?
Theirs many champions you can ban when playing Akali but at the end of the day you can only ban one champion and theirs always going to be champions that counter your kit on the rift, but that is part of the game so get used to it and try to adapt.
Typically try and ban players who are annoying to play against and are picked often (theirs no point banning someone who annoys you but is barely ever played, you want to have some sort of consistency in your games). You can always look on websites that hold league stats such as LoL Graphs, as they tell you who the most played champions are in your ELO and region and you can ban according to that.
Again all this stuff is personal preference and their is no right or wrong way of who to ban.
This is an example of how you can use your ult to jump over walls
This is an Example of how to use your abilities to play against strong melee champs with CC and one shot potential such as Renekton. In this case even if you get stunned your still moving a fair distance so your able to move again once they get back in melee range
Learn to try and hit multiple opponents with your Q, your objective is to do as much damage as you can so use your kit to its full potential.
Remember your very mobile with Akali and do lots of damage so try and take out as many enemies as you can in the team fights, target the squishiest champions first so you can move on too the next enemy as soon as possible. (Unless of-course their is a carry you have to eliminate each situation is different)
Learn to line up as many opponents as you can when you use your 2nd part of your ult R2
